Yeah. TGL's *.system idea could be useful here, or maybe we could |
| 9 |
specify some kind of 'forced' option. Like, on x86-fbsd maybe the |
| 10 |
setting could be marked as read only somehow? Presumably detection could |
| 11 |
see whether or not it's a symlink and base it upon that? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
bsd-box# eselect --list vi |
| 14 |
[1] /usr/bin/vi (*) [forced] |
| 15 |
[2] /usr/bin/vim |
| 16 |
[3] /usr/bin/nvi |
| 17 |

| BTW: that scheme for a kernel symlink definitely beats what we have at |
| 19 |
| the moment. :) |

Oh, I just threw that in as an afterthought :) |
