Sorry for not seeing the initial ITP, but I object the package name. Can you please rename it to "vim-syntax-gtk"? Even though we (Debian Vim maintainers) haven't yet formally proposed a naming convention for Vim based packages I would like to in the near future, and I would like to have all vim related packages to start with "vim-" and syntax extensions to start with "vim-sintax-". Other questions on this package (sorry, but I'm busy these days and I haven't yet had the time to look at it): - is it worth to have it? how much is the size of the resulting .deb? have you considered shipping it as a patch for vim-scripts? (I'm not claiming it would be better that way, just that it would be better *if* the resulting package is small enough) - have you looked at the best-practices for packaging vim-scripts, in particular at providing vim-registry entries (I know, this is not yet documented as a "Vim packaging policy" or such and it's my fault, but please have a look at what vim-scripts and vim-latex-suite does and provide similar registry entries) - can you please request to be added to the pkg-vim project on alioth and check in your package to the corresponding repository so that your package is available where other vim related packages are? That said I'm willing to sponsor your package, but please have a look at my comments above and act accordingly where needed. Thanks for your packaging work!
