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

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 inst=
alled with Vim), so the problem isn't inherently in Vim. Perhaps these setti=
ngs would make sense on something like PC-BSD where the user is expected to h=
ave a graphical environment, but on FreeBSD, which is more targeted toward s=
erver usage, doesn't it make more sense for vim to not depend on X?
Thanks,
