It is very frustrating. In my personal sh library, I probe for `ed` and, if not available, I alias to `ex -s`; I then write in-place editing scripts carefully to use only common functionality to both. Sigh.
- Jorengarenar 4y agoYeah... to my even bigger surprise, ex also was nowhere to be found!
- ykonstant 4y agoThat is very strange; ex should be part of Arch base... oh well, probe for `vi -s` and if this does not work either, get karma on reddit or whatever by making fun of Arch :D
- Jorengarenar 4y agoNow that I look at it, base package is missing [0] a bit of stuff: > The base package does not include all tools from the live installation, so installing other packages may be necessary for a fully functional base system. In particular, consider installing: > - userspace utilities for the management of file systems that will be used on the system, > - utilities for accessing RAID or LVM partitions, > - specific firmware for other devices not included in linux-firmware (e.g. sof-firmware for sound cards), > - software necessary for networking (e.g. a network manager or DHCP client), > - a text editor, > - packages for accessing documentation in man and info pages: man-db, man-pages and texinfo.
