This has been in unstable for many months now. Basically there's now a |
30 |
virtual for $EDITOR and $PAGER so you can pick the one you want. If you |
31 |
don't pick one, portage will take the default and --depclean is likely |
32 |
to remove the others that are not in world. |

This was all discussed to death months ago :-) |

|
36 |
Just add your editor and pager of choice to world and continue as |
37 |
normal. It's not a big issue - you already know you want less and have |
38 |
no intention of removing it, so just add it like any other package. |
