It might be worth noting that it seems Panther now includes vim. I used use the fink installed vim but after the bumpy period with Panther, I removed my entire fink install and installed new. I didn't even realize I hadn't installed vim through fink for about a week. Also, the vim included in Panther (6.2) is later than the fink one (6.1). I missed the beginning of this thread so I don't know if this helps or not.

vim-6.1-16: Improved version of the editor "vi"
 VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor:
 Unlimited undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection,
 graphical user interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars,
 text selection), and much much more.

Check the configuration script (e.g. .configure) to see how you set it

Once I change the configure script, can I just 'fink install vim'?

Here's how to do it. Create a /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/editors
directory and copy the vim .info file (and .patch file if it exists) in
there. Add "--with-python" or whatever you want to the ConfigureParams
line and increment the revision number. Add "local/main" to Trees in
/sw/etc/fink.conf. Finally, "fink update vim".



What I'm unsure of is what I can change and yet still have it be part of a fink installation. Would any updates to vim require me to fiddle with the configure script before each installation?


If the vim package is updated to a revision number higher than the one in
your local directory, a "fink update-all" will replace your version. To
get around this, call your vim package "vim-python" and add


Conflicts: vim
Replaces: vim
Provides: vim

to the .info file (this is what is done for the vim-nox package - you
might just use that one as a starting point).

Hope this helps.
