[arch-general] Latest testing/vim lacks symlink
Hi, just upgraded to testing/vim 7.2-234 today and found that the color schemes are missing. After simple investigation, it was a problem of lacking a symlink within vim's directory. there should be a /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent => vim72 which is missing from the pack ? if anyone who is having the same problem just make the link, then it should work.
It also lacks ruby/python support.

Ruby support is deliberate as we are switching to ruby-1.9 and vim currently does not support it. No idea about python. Allan
Allan,
Ruby 1.9 can be supported by VIM with a patch which I sent to Tobias months
ago. I submitted to vim-devel, but without response.
If anyone want this patch (vim support to ruby 1.9) I will be happy to send.

Thanks for that =)
Hi guys, sorry for lacking the announcement ... but I guess that's why it is still in testing. The vimcurrent symlink was modelled after debian's behaviour. Turns out that's a necessary as a third tit. Vim actually automatically akak out of the box checks /usr/share/vim/vimfiles as part of the runtimepath. When doing the last update I forgot to remove the explicit runtimepath from archlinux.vim. Newer versions of vim/gvim will NOT set anyruntime path anymore and instead rely on the above provided path. All updates to plugins shall go streight there. This is becuase it is provided by vanilla vim layout. We don't need to tamper with nothing here. -T
Wow, who can find my spelling mistakes ... can keep them. It's a bargain tonight ... -T On Mon, 20 Jul 2009, Tobias Kieslich wrote:
