Package: vim
Version: 2:9.1.0967-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi, with patch 9.1.0895 Vim started defaulting to a history of 200
instead of 50. This was already the case when sourcing defaults.vim in
one's vimrc, or when using no vimrc at all.
What patch 9.1.0895 done was removing the `set history=200` from
defaults.vim and altering the actual history option default in the
C source.
For some reason, though, Debian's `debian.vim` file contains a `set
history=50` setting, which overrides the new built-in default.
The issue is manifesting itself only now that `history=200` has been
removed from `defaults.vim`; before that, sourcing the file in the
user's vimrc would override `debian.vim`'s override.
Could this option be dropped from `debian.vim`, please? Patch attached.
Apart from this issue in particular, though, I feel that `debian.vim`'s
role should be revised. Now that Vim has a `defaults.vim` file which
contains lots of goodies, some of `debian.vim`'s settings seem
redundant. As an example, both of them set the `nocompatible`,
`backspace`, `history`, and `ruler` options are duplicated. In my
opinion, these should be removed, and the file should keep containing
only some truly Debian-specific improvements and security-relevant
options (like `/etc/papersize` and `nomodeline`). But this can be
discussed and fixed later.
Bye!

Subject: [PATCH] Drop backspace and history from debian.vim
They are now redundant, as they have been made Vim's defaults in patches
9.1.0899 and 9.1.0895, respectively.
