Thanks for your replies, guys.
2. Change the default editor on your system by putting something in
/etc/env.d:
apollo ~ # cat /etc/env.d/99editor
EDITOR="vim"
--Mike
===================================================
spi...@supervisor ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/99editor
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"
spi...@supervisor ~ $ sudo visudo
visudo: no editor found (editor path = /bin/nano)
===================================================
The first option works fine, but ... how much time should the user
spend to get things just work as expected?
Yes, there are such geeks like me and you, who will spend his time
doing what should already be done by maintainers.
Look in the man page, it's far from obvious why isn't EDITOR variable
respected.
