So I took a look myself with clang < 4.0 (needed on my system anyways thanks to rust): % equery f llvm|grep vim /usr/share/vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim % du -ch $(equery f llvm|grep vim) 2> /dev/null 4,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm-lit.vim 8,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/llvm.vim 4,0K /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/tablegen.vim 16K total So well, 16KB in sum. Funny to see the “outsourced“ ebuild is exactly the same size. All in all I consider that way a bit ugly, but for this size I agree it’s really wasted energy [and as the mentioned dev pointed out, discussing this matter takes way more space than the issue itself].
