Hey Karsten, can you please comment on this? I would happily provide a patch. Why would anyone want to install both, vim-enhanced and vim-X11 if both provide /usr/bin/vim ? vim-enhanced is for users who don't want to pull in the whole X11/gtk packages. If someone decides to do that, he/she doesn't need vim-enhanced at all and we won't need alternatives and just add a conflict between vim-X11 and vim-enhanced. I'll post this for discussion on fedora-devel-list as adding explicit conflicts need to be approved by FESCO afaik. Make that FPC, not FESCO (In reply to comment #2) > Why would anyone want to install both, vim-enhanced and vim-X11 if both provide > /usr/bin/vim ? vim-enhanced is for users who don't want to pull in the whole > X11/gtk packages.

If both provide /usr/bin/{vim,vimdiff,ex,view,rview,rvim,vimtutor}, this would be great, too. I do not know why one would need both packages then. How about resplitting the features that each of the subpackages provide to acknowledge the changes that have occurred to what people expect from an application these days: vim-common -- remains the same vim-minimal -- remains the same vim-enhanced -- changes from --with-x=no to --with-x=yes vim-X11 -- renamed to vim-gtk This would allow /usr/bin/vim to use the X clipboard while keeping the GUI/gtk stack separate. If we use this scheme, vim-enhanced will pull in these additional packages as dependencies:: libICE libSM libX11 libXt libxcb xorg-x11-filesystem libXau libXdmcp It will not pull in the gtk stack. I'd like to avoid any dependencies on X libraries. I know that it isn't easy to set up a server without X11 nowadays, but at least vim shouldn't pull in this stuff. I'd rather drop vim-minimal and replace it with the current vim-enhanced, but I'm somewhat concerned about the history of security issues in its additional features (modelines p.e.). That could work.

That could work but how would you deal with the possibility of /usr not being mounted when you need to invoke /bin/vi? This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'.
