[arch-general] Location of Vim files...
It seems that yet again the vim files moved, this time out of /usr/share/vim/vim72 up to /usr/share/vim. This actually broke vim for users who also had mercurial installed (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15403). Is the current location, /usr/share/vim, likely to be the standard one for a while now? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
As far as vi/vim(7) in extra is concerned, it was always installed in /usr/share/vim. So vim files location has NOT changed yet again. vim files in testing are getting installed into /usr/share/vim/vim72 but that is the future. -T On Tue, 07 Jul 2009, Magnus Therning wrote:

Ah, thanks for that. I thought testing might have already moved into extra by now. Is the _current_ location documented somewhere so that maintainers can find out where to install vim files from upstream (e.g. mercurial)? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
Not really, I was aiming for a vimcurrent symlink like debian but taht was opposed as there seems to be another standard location. Hopefully I will have another and maybe final vim in teesting by the weekend and once that is done there will be some documentation(probably in the wiki) but certainly some notes in vim's PKGBUILD. -T:
