It even used to be in our src tree under release/picobsd. However, if we revive it, we'll have to support as many as 4 text editors in the base system, which can be a bit too many. The main problem with /rescue/vi is its being totally useless without the termcap file from /usr, as discussed under PR bin/80256. The solutions suggested there are more or less based on introducing additional trimmed down termcap files in the src tree, which is no better than having 4 editors to support. I'd rather write a small script to extract a subset of terminal types from the main termcap file, and install it as /rescue/termcap. -- Yar _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
