 |
|
Hi, I just noticed something with the r17 (yes, I know it's a '~' package) ebuild script for vim. It has in it:
| Code: | | myconf="--without-x --with-features=big --enable-multibyte" |
I think the --without-x should be removed, or at least changed to:
| Code: | | use X && myconf="$myconf --without-x" |
The reason for this is that even when --without-gui is specified (which is correct, since this is moved to the gvim ebuild), enabling x support contains at least one feature that I consider pretty useful - when editing a file, vim changes the title of the xterm to reflect the file being edited. I'm not sure what other differences there are between --with-x and --without-x, but I don't think --without-x should be there just because the GUI is disabled. |

| I guess you could file this as a bug. |

| I think this is because you need to emerge gvim for vim wtih x capabilities. A while back I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting gvim anymore and it was since gvim and vim are two seperate ebuilds. |

Yes, and I have it emerged - usually for editting code I use it, however for making quick changes to, e.g., config files I prefer to just use vim in gnome-terminal. --with-x doesn't enable GUI capabilities, it just enables vim to do things like set the title of the window, which I definitely like.
I suppose I could just unmerge vim, and link /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/gvim, but it would be nicer to have x enabled in the build script.
I'll file a bug report about it as well. |
