Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Suggestions for 5.8 Standard final release ann ouncement

[Sriram D. <sri...@gm...>]

i completely forgot to mention the following:
1) vim intead of elvis
2) ruby
3) when building vim use the python and ruby bindings.

vim is actually not much bigger a package than elvis, has 100% compatibility
to vi,
has a really good community and lots of help available.
almost every VL release, one of the first package i build is vim.

unfortunately i cannot do that this release, or in time for the 5.8 std,
so it would be awesome to have it ship by default.
[ i will still be a happy camper to have it in the repo .. --with-python and
--with-ruby ]

cheers
ram
ps:
[also more descriptive names on the menu instead of the package name
eg: image editor istead of xara xtreme ]
