Re: New vi/vim/gvim in testing requires intervention

Hi,

that can be done, sure, however I don't like the idea of having an extra package conflict with a core one. We could name the package nvi, call the binaries nvi and provide a symlink that gets replace on installing vim but all this symlinking stuff has proved itself to be error prone.

the current vi package is actually nvi, the purpose of that was to have a

I know that. That is why I'm asking. Either nvi or Vim. Both makes it
complex.

Th vim package is not uglier then it used to be before,

Actually, I don't see a big problem with vim having provides/conflicts
with vi, so that it will completely supplant it. That way we also
cover the users who USE and EXPECT 'vim' but still type 'vi' (sigh)
