Learning Vim take so much time that unerstanding .vimrc is trivial, sry. For that reason that is your way, but not mine ..

No, I don't maintain it. I just tried to get the basics right, so that people who would have added vim stuff anyway get it right. In fact I think there is one thing missing to have a perfect software distribution: Authors taking care themselves. VAM is in maintainance mode for two reasons: - there will be neovimm - I'll be creating this as soon as I have time: https://github.com/code-once/ypm The idea I want to explore is whether it is possible to create a huge database with recipes so that you can turn those cross language recipes into .nix derivation or *any distro package specification* automatcially. Eg updating kde/xorg/gnome is always a lot of work. That's why I want to fix this once and forall. Eg there are combinations Vim & Ocaml &YouCompleteMe which requires recompliing vim (with py support) and running ocamlopt to get a working setup. VAM will never be up to that task. Thus if you like idea behind YPM or want to sponsor it just star it or let me know :) Marc Weber _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
