Basically, some of the vim VCS packages currently provided by the AUR could certainly use some merging, yes. However, this should definitely not, as proposed by this request, be restricted to the runtime package, but include at least gvim-git, too. More importantly, the condition of vim-git has been notoriously problematic: * The package was introduced broken and remained broken for years without anybody bothering. * My attempt to discuss the problem (as well as to team up) wasn't even answered [1]. * When they finally decided to fix the package by adding a split package "runtime" providing what was missing before, name vim-git-runtime wasn't a good choice. (And again, they could have reached out to team up instead.) * Currently, the package fails to build as it's still using the Git protocol to download. Comments asking to change this were ignored for years. That said, this request would prevent me from continuing to maintain gvim-runtime-git and vim-runtime-git in favour of vim-git. I do not think this would really make sense. So I'd kindly ask you to revoke this request. If you do so, I would take it as an opportunity to make another attempt to turn vim-git into a reasonable counterpart of vim in extra. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/vim-git#comment-508105
