Once upon a time, Jonathan Wakely <jwakely(a)fedoraproject.org> said:
Could vim-minimal and vim-enhanced both install the same
/etc/profile.d/vim.sh file that did something like this?
if [ -n "${BASH_VERSION-}" -o -n "${KSH_VERSION-}" -o -n
"${ZSH_VERSION-}" ]; then
[ "`/usr/bin/id -u 2>/dev/null || echo 0`" -le 200 ] && return
Why this? Why not alias vi=vim for root? We don't block root from
running vim (so it doesn't appear to be for security - vim already
ignores some things when running as root).
Rather than script hackery, why not just make vim-minimal and
vim-enhanced use the alternatives system? They are alternates for
providing a "vi like" editor.
