An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for vim doesn't fix any user visible issues and it is optional to install.

  • Introduce vim-small package with reduced requirements for small installations (bsc#1166602).
  • Stop owning /etc/vimrc so the old, distro provided config actually gets removed.
  • Own some dirs in vim-data-common so installation of vim-small doesn't leave not owned directories. (bsc#1173256)
  • Add vi as slave to update-alternatives so that every package has a matching "vi" symlink. (bsc#1174564, bsc#1176549)
