From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: vim-minimal takes up 460K roughly, and is nice and small. However, it depends on vim-common which is over 10MB, so there is no real savings in space there. I can "rpm -i --nodeps vim-minimal-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm" and not have any problems; vim seems to work as expected. Can the dependency on vim-common be eliminated somehow? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-minimal-6.2.121-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -ivh vim-minimal-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm fails, noting a dependency on vim-common-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm. 2. rpm -ivh --nodeps vim-minimal-6.2.121-1.i386.rpm succeeds. Actual Results: vim-minimal appears to function well when installed with --nodeps and without vim-common. Expected Results: vim-minimal should not require vim-common as a dependency. With an extra 10MB installed, it is no longer "minimal" in any way. Additional info: I am sure that there is some valid reason that some code is in vim- common to avoid duplication with vim-enhanced, and that this is not a mistake of any kind. However, it really does cause a problem sometimes when one wants to install a "minimal" package of 460K and one gets a 10MB dependency. Eliminating this dependency would be absolutely wonderful for smaller systems where those 10MB matter.
I've removed the dependency and added a hint to the package description that the online help will only be available when vim-common is installed. Please test the rawhide package vim-*-154-1* (without vim-common installed) and report any problems caused by the missing /usr/share/vim/ files.
I guess I am too ignorant to find this. Wher is there a rawhide for fedora? if I go to rawhide.redhat.com and drill into it I can find nothing that says fedora. If I drill into download.fedora.redhat.com I can't find anything that says rawhide? Help me out please. Bret
I think the URL is ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/, but it may take a while until the new packages show up there. I've put the packages on http://people.redhat.com/karsten/ for immediate download.
It has now been approximately five months since this bug was fixed and closed, but the newer package has not yet made it into the released updates. Is there a reason for that? Or is it because a deliberate decision was made to let this update go until FC2? Thanks.
