[arch-dev-public] status of vi/vim in testing

[tobias at justdreams.de]

It's also that we don't wanna stall vim/gvim updates that shall wait  
for vi in testing. Admittedly the conflict/provides trick might slice  
it but it seems awkward. I will try to apply the patches that Ubuntu  
has on  nvi and see if that helps.

On a related note Aaron, identica told me you fixed some stuff in  
pythoncomplete.vim, did ypou make a release?
