Replying to [comment:7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > IMO we should stop applying patches to vim. vim-7.1 is the released version. The patches are similar to building from CVS sources. Every time there is a change, they upload a patch. It's not "They", it's just He. For everyone was lucky enough to follow vim development, he can't but admire the work made by Bram. Bram works with problems and apply solutions. Granted it's not the typical Linux bazaar. Sometimes - yes - a new patch introduces a new bug, rare but happens. But this is common to the software development and keep in mind that the reflexes from the vim community are quite sharp and those faults fixed immediately). In my opinion LFS very wisely apply those patches, as _every_ distribution does. Now there is a question, if vim has a place in an LFS build. In my opinion no, as ed is more than enough, but this discussion is for another flame in another ticket. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2108#comment:9> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
