a/elvis-2.2_0-x86_64-5.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't make /usr/bin/{ex,vi} symlinks.
a/kernel-generic-5.4.11-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-huge-5.4.11-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/kernel-modules-5.4.11-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/nvi-1.81.6-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This is an implementation of the classic ex/vi text editor written by Keith
Bostic. Due to this having UTF8 support which elvis lacks, we'll have it
take over the ex/vi symlinks if they aren't already pointing to a different
choice. Note that the removal of vi/ex symlinks from the elvis and vim
packages might cause your ex/vi symlinks to point to this after all the ex/vi
packages have been upgraded. You can set them to your preferences using
pkgtool -> Setup -> vi-ex.
a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-29.txz: Rebuilt.
Added an installer/pkgtool menu to select the default ex/vi editor.
ap/vim-8.2.0114-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Don't make /usr/bin/{ex,vi} symlinks.
