Hi,
(Note: I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list or not, so if I need to go somewhere else, let me know.)
When installing Vim from pkgng, I'm forced to also install a lot of additional stuff I don't need, like so:
# pkg install vim

Proceed with installing packages [y/N]:
Apparently, I can compile it without these requirements from the ports tree (not to mention that no Linux distro I've used has ever required X to be installed with Vim), so the problem isn't inherently in Vim. Perhaps these settings would make sense on something like PC-BSD where the user is expected to have a graphical environment, but on FreeBSD, which is more targeted toward server usage, doesn't it make more sense for vim to not depend on X?
Thanks,
Matt
