Subpackage Descriptions
set This is the vim:std metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of vim:std.
primary Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files. Despite what the above comic suggests, Vim can be configured to work in a very simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim. This variant is contains a "lite" version of vim that has a minimal amount of dependencies and therefore less capability. This version is console-only. If X support is desired, use the "loaded" variant instead.
xxd This program contains the xxd program from vim. It is a stand-alone hexdump and reverse hexdump utility.
nls This is the native language support subpackage of the vim:std port.
man This is the man page subpackage of the vim:std port.
