Hi Dan,
I'm sorry about that. On top of changing the path I screwed up with settin gthe runtimepath still in archlinux.vim. The vimcurrent approach was modelled after Debian but it turns out to be over the top.
Yeah, I actually noticed this after I sent that email, so I realize now the situation was not completely in your control.
Vim apparently always searches in a folder /vim/share/vim/vimfiles for plugins. That happens out of the box. This is badly documented, but much preferable over screwing with the runtime path. So I will fix vim to get rid of any runtime path and provide an empty /vim/share/vim/vimfiles as a base folder for all plugins.
Yes that mean we would need to rebuild the plugins again. But that would be the last time.
Awesome. Thanks for getting the details straight. If you have the vim-* packages checked out in SVN, it should be as simple as a sed to update the path to the correct value, and then bumping the pkgrel values. Unfortunately I'm pretty busy through the end of the week here, but we'll see if I can't help out a bit if it doesn't get done in the next few days. -Dan
