You would need to talk to Bram about that, as I've previously stated in this bug report. > This settings is unmanageable for any debian system since stretch, we > have hundreds of servers and we never managed to push through any > workaround for this, not even have resources to invest on such change. Presumably you're using some sort of orchestration, like Puppet. In that case, simply add "let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1" to /etc/vim/vimrc.local, as is documented in this bug report, NEWS.Debian.gz, and /etc/vim/vimrc. > It doesn't seem there is any advantage and people is constantly > swearing about this debian change every time they open VIM, not only > me! This is NOT a Debian-specific change. It is an upstream change, which I have argued against many times because of many of the issues raised here and in other bug reports. Bram has refused to accept my suggestions, basically stating that "changing it now would break people's configs that are used to it". I'm just as frustrated as everyone else with the way this was implemented, but this is not something I'm going to change just in Debian. This is one of many reasons that I generally use neovim now, rather than Vim. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
