https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D246343 Bug ID: 246343 Summary: editors/neovim: Rename to unify graphical vs. console editor naming scheme Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: adamw@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jbauer@paritybit.ca Flags: maintainer-feedback?(adamw@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: adamw@FreeBSD.org Editor packages are typically split between console-based versions and vers= ions with graphical elements if it is logical to do so. For example, there is `vim-console`, the console-only version of vim, and `vim`, which comes with= GUI features. There is also emacs, for the graphical version, and emacs-nox for= the console version. Neovim, on the other hand, does not follow this naming scheme. The `neovim` package is the console based version whereas the `neovim-qt` package is the graphical version. This can be confusing to users who are new to FreeBSD (a= s it was for me), and may also trip up even experienced users. Renaming the `neovim` package to something like `neovim-console` would be clearer as it would follow the naming scheme of the other popular editor packages. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
