Hi Paul,
An aside: Does any package other than vim provide /usr/bin/vi? I
think the command might be `dnf provides /usr/bin/vi'. I expect
it's a bunch of different sized vim-based packages.
vile is another vi alternative, on all linux distributions, and at
least some of the XXXXbsd distros.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vile/blob/master/f/vile.spec provides
/usr/bin/vile.
i'd bet nvi is also available everywhere, though i haven't checked
that, since i don't use it.
Yes, I checked
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nvi/blob/master/f/nvi.spec and it
provides /usr/bin/nvi, not .../vi.
(I was unable to find a web-based equivalent of Debian's or Ubuntu's
package search for Fedora.)
ubuntu provides elvis, but i think it's more of a toy at this point.
Not at the above web site. And there was Stevie, vim's ancestor.
That's not there either.
