Oh, you meant "vanilla", sorry, I was talking about the other idea that I |
| 10 |
read on I don't know which mail before about USE flags to set different |
| 11 |
editors, which is not viable at all. |

I'd have nothing against the "vanilla" flag, but surely everyone will want |
| 14 |
a flag for their preferred editor. Using a var in make.conf is absolutely |
| 15 |
better in my opinion, but as said, this is non-trivial. Portage would need |
| 16 |
to adjust the dependencies, it's not as easy as to throw a random string |
| 17 |
into the ebuild. |
