Re: [arch-dev-public] new vi/vim/gvim
Has anything been decided with this? Apparently vim needs a patch to build against the latest ruby which I was going to attempt updating soon.
I'm just trying to give it a whirl on a testing box. The main issue is that the old package created a symlink that is not tracked by the version control at all. So before people can update to the new packages, they will have to remove one or two symlinks manually, which is ugly. -T

Maybe in: vim.install pre_install(), remove the files if they're symlinks? I know it's yucky too.

The problem is that pacman does file conflict checking before pre_install is called

I'm bumping this again as I was thinking about getting the ruby update under way soon. @Tobias K: If you are still considering you options, I could just update the current vi/vim/gvim setup for the time being. Allan

And again... I fear the wrath of vim users so just can't push ruby to [testing] without having this fixed. Allan
