Package: vim-tiny Version: 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Severity: wishlist
Having vim-tiny installed provides vim, which I find undesireable as it does not at all give you a warning that it is infact crip^W reduced in functionality. $ ls -lah $(which vim.gtk ) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2,2M juli 12 2010 /usr/bin/vim.gtk $ ls -lah $(which nvi ) -rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 414K jan. 29 2010 /usr/bin/nvi $ ls -lah $(which vim.basic ) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1,7M juli 12 2010 /usr/bin/vim.basic $ ls -lah $(which vim.tiny ) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 733K juli 12 2010 /usr/bin/vim.tiny let me also show some math, my installed systems tend to be about 5 GiB after a clean install, this is not a normal gnome-desktop, but I think this is a quite normal install size. replacing vim.gtk with vim.tiny is saving about 1600kiB of space which is about 3 parts of 10,000. This would have made more sense had all packages had a tiny variant so I could reduce the isntalled system to 1/3 of my current, but it sounds unfeasable. Could we either have vim-basic or vim-gtk installed, and hopefully vim-tiny removed? If you really want lightweight editor get nvi/vi. have a nice day :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_ZA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to nb_NO.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vim-tiny depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii vim-common 2:7.2.445+hg~cb94c42c0e1a-1 Vi IMproved - Common files vim-tiny recommends no packages.
