Its significance is preservation and portability rather than a new editor model: it gives package users a small BSD-licensed vi derived from OpenBSD base-system code. ### Historique du projet The OpenVi README describes the project as a fork of the vi/ex editor included with OpenBSD. That editor descends from nvi 1.79, the Berkeley ex/vi reimplementation associated with Keith Bostic, Sven Verdoolaege, and other CSRG contributors, and nvi itself traces back through Steve Kirkendall's Elvis editor. OpenVi follows the common OpenBSD-portable pattern: take audited base-system code, add portability glue, and make it build on other Unix systems. Its README emphasizes readable code, secure C library idioms such as strlcpy, snprintf, mkstemp, and pledge where available, and a permissive BSD/ISC licensing mix. ### Historique d'adoption OpenVi's adoption footprint is niche. It is packaged by Homebrew, Alpine, and Nix for users who want OpenBSD's vi behavior without installing OpenBSD, but it does not appear to be a general editor ecosystem on the scale of Vim, Neovim, or nvi2. Its most natural audience is package minimalists, BSD users working on non-BSD hosts, and developers who want a small vi with OpenBSD ancestry rather than plugin systems, scripting runtimes, or GUI layers. ### Modes d'utilisation The package installs ovi, oex, and oview so users can edit files, run ex commands, and inspect files with a vi-family tool. It is useful in lightweight shell environments, recovery setups, containers, and systems where a traditional vi is wanted with few moving parts. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent OpenVi is interesting because it packages a lineage rather than a feature race: Berkeley vi to nvi to OpenBSD vi to a portable downstream. For package nerds, that makes it a compact case study in base-system code being exported into package-manager space. ### Chronologie - 1996: nvi 1.79 becomes the ancestor named by the OpenVi README for OpenBSD vi. - 2020s: OpenVi is distributed as a portable OpenBSD vi for Unix-like systems and appears in package managers including Homebrew, Alpine, and Nix. - 2026: Homebrew packages OpenVi 7.7.32 with ovi, oex, and oview. ### Related projects - OpenVi is related to OpenBSD vi, nvi, nvi2, Elvis, Vim, Neovim, and other small Unix editor ports that preserve traditional ex/vi behavior. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.brew:openvi ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Détails de la base source - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** openvi - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Nix - openvi: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/op/openvi/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - openvi - 7.7.32-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: openvi from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | OpenVi is a fork of the vi / ex editor included with OpenBSD | https://github.com/johnsonjh/OpenVi - apk - openvi-doc - 7.7.32-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: openvi-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | OpenVi is a fork of the vi / ex editor included with OpenBSD (documentation) | https://github.com/johnsonjh/OpenVi ## Liens liés - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [ncurses](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/ncurses/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [ad](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/ad/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor, vi. - [amp](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/amp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [emacs](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/emacs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [enter-tex](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/enter-tex/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [gedit](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/gedit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [jupp](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/jupp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [kibi](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/kibi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor. - [jove](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/jove/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, text-editor, unix. - [le](https://www.automicvault.com/fr/pkg/brew/le/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
