Should all possible fallbacks be hard requirements? Isn't it better to have a number of competing packages provide an editor and provide a virtual editor provides, have one of those installed editors set as the default system editor via the EDITOR variable and then have all packages which need an editor require the virtual editor provides instead of a specific editor? That way anyone can build a spin or do an install using any appropriate available editor package which provides the editor virtual provides as policy and tastes dictate. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
