What triggered this commit was something I noticed when I fixed =93MK_VI = =3D=3D no=94 to delete vi in base, which in turn breaks the default dot = files, i.e. 'export EDITOR=3Dvi=92. MK_VI =3D=3D no doesn=92t install vi = with installworld, but it doesn=92t clean it up on head if you run make = delete-old either, so this issue wasn=92t apparent until I started this = work (and I guess no one complained about the MK_VI =3D=3D no case = before now). To err on the safe side, I can add a `if [ -x /usr/bin/vi = ]; then ; fi` around the export EDITOR line if you like =97 however many = other OS distros (Fedora Linux, IllumOS, Ubuntu Linux, etc) don=92t ship = with defaults =97 is this something we should do as well? vi is also implicitly required for the build when building some files in = share/termcap, as the build calls ex on the files, but that=92s a = sidenote. > Also, dotfiles might be shared between systems by users. Yes, but shouldn=92t the person customizing the system know what files = are being distributed? > This is an objection against customizing dot.* file contents depending > on options, not against conditionally installing dot.* files. Ok. Something else that needs to be discussed is /usr/games being in = $PATH and a few other things, because this could slow down path lookups, = even if it=92s a small amount (I realize the namei cache is supposed to = make this less noticeable, but every little bit counts IMHO).
