            Bug ID: 277788
           Summary: editors/vim: make optional language bindings pkg
                    flavors
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: adamw@FreeBSD.org

# pkg install vim
New packages to be INSTALLED:
        libffi: 3.4.4_1
        mpdecimal: 2.5.1
        python39: 3.9.18_1
        vim: 9.1.0158
        xxd: 9.1.0158

The process will require 161 MiB more space.

161 MiB just for vim?

What I want and expect is the console flavor of vim with syntax files and t=
he
basic goodies that make vim better than vi. Colors. Syntax highlighting. Th=
ose
niceties are stripped from vim-tiny. What I do NOT want or expect is bundli=
ng
100+ MiB of language interpreters just to get vim. By all means, have packa=
ges
pre-built for popular options, but that shouldn't be the default. Users wan=
ting
a bundled language interpreter should expect to specify a flavor, such as
vim-python, vim-perl, or vim-lua.
