12 No, it's not needed for fcron at all, and I already explained why in
13 [1]. Progressing through [2-4] I thought the fcron issue might have
14 been fixed, but the virtual/editor discussion had started by then and I
15 decided I had nothing more to add. Again: fcron builds and works fine
16 without at all setting ./configure --with-editor= and the ebuild should
17 not set that option at all. Problem solved.

25 --with-editor in the ebuild and just let it default to /usr/bin/vi,
26 which is only used if your env doesn't have EDITOR set to something
27 useful)
28 [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149376#c17 (where I
29 explained that bug #65263 fixed the wrong problem)
30 [3] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149376#c19 (where I
31 suggested setting it to something proper and available on hopefully
32 every system, like --with-editor=/bin/nano)
33 [4] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149376#c22 (where I
34 continued to argue this approach and CC'd bsd@ to get their view)
