well, I just asked in IRC on Freenode about that and a dev pointed out, that |
| 30 |
the new dep for vim files is actually putting files *outside* the package to |
| 31 |
avoid file collisions with slotted packages. So I took a look myself with |
| 32 |
clang < 4.0 (needed on my system anyways thanks to rust): |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
% equery f llvm|grep vim |
| 35 |
/usr/share/vim |
| 36 |
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles |
| 37 |
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim |
| 38 |
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim |
| 39 |
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
% du -ch $(equery f llvm|grep vim) 2> /dev/null |
| 42 |
4,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim |
| 43 |
8,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim |
| 44 |
4,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim |
| 45 |
16K total |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
So well, 16KB in sum. Funny to see the “outsourced“ ebuild is exactly the same |
| 48 |
size. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
All in all I consider that way a bit ugly, but for this size I agree it’s |
| 51 |
really wasted energy [and as the mentioned dev pointed out, discussing this |
| 52 |
matter takes way more space than the issue itself]. |
| 53 |

Greetings, |
