Hi All,

I have few questions.

I am on (devuan) jessie..
Given that "mixing stable and testing branches is recipe for disaster", is
it safe to apt install vim version 8 from ascii?

I pinned the ascii packages to priority 50 in preferences and I get:

# apt-get install -t ascii vim
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
libncurses5 libncurses5:i386 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5 libtinfo-dev
libtinfo5 libtinfo5:i386 ncurses-bin vim-common vim-runtime vim-tiny xxd
Suggested packages:
ncurses-doc ctags vim-doc vim-scripts indent
Recommended packages:
libgpm2:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
vim vim-runtime xxd
The following packages will be upgraded:
libncurses5 libncurses5:i386 libncurses5-dev libncursesw5 libtinfo-dev
libtinfo5 libtinfo5:i386 ncurses-bin vim-common vim-tiny
10 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1298 not upgraded.
Need to get 8703 kB of archives.
After this operation, 30.6 MB of additional disk space will be used.
...

Would it be better to install from source?
Can I remove vim.tiny after (or before) installing vim?

Thanks!

Antonio
