[arch-general] vim 7.2.25
Hello, Arch Community. I'm unable to contact the vi package maintainer (Tobias Kieslich) so I decided to write here. I have prepared an update for the vim package (see the attachment). Non-trivial changes in the PKGBUILD: - I was removed a stub for the 026ne patch, as it is no more needed; - the code indented to cut X-related stuff from the sample vimrc. It breaks the vimrc for the 7.2, so I just removed that code and provide own (manually fixed) version of vimrc. I hope my work can be useful for arch. Looking forward for your comments. -- Cheers, Sergey Rudchenko

Hi Sergey, Thanks for the work. I've CC'd Tobias on this email, so he should be aware of your changes.

Not sure what this is, so I cannot comment.
- the code indented to cut X-related stuff from the sample vimrc. It breaks the vimrc for the 7.2, so I just removed that code and provide own (manually fixed) version of vimrc.
This seems like a good idea. When we start having to make drastic changes to default config files, it's better to just ship our own, as long as we can ensure it remains in sync with the upstream default file.
Hi Sergey and gang, I'm sorry if I missed your email. I do have a vim 7.2.x working locally but wanna get rid of any errors and bugs. I haven't seen any issues with vimrc but I will dig into it. I don't like to take quick shots on the vim releases because it also includes the vi package with the runtime and that needs to go to testing first and jump through all those hoops which is good because it's a core package. But that always stalls the upgrade process for vim and gvim. Thanks for the patches, I will check over them. -T the 026ne stuff is toast, I never understood the purpose of them doing that upstream anyway ... The X related stuff is not a problem anymore because the upstream default is a bit more sane, but I will double check. I would like to stick with the upstream vimrc, we just used to rip out the part from virc that conflicts with the limited vi capabilities. Not really X related.
