[arch-general] Latest testing/vim lacks symlink
Hi, just upgraded to testing/vim 7.2-234 today and found that the color schemes are missing. After simple investigation, it was a problem of lacking a symlink within vim's directory. there should be a /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent = vim72 which is missing from the pack ? if anyone who is having the same problem just make the link, then it should work.

Could you share your code somewhere so that we don't duplicate the work? You may well have more success than I do. Finding the current upstream version for packages on hosting sites is easy, doing it for joe schmoe's website isn't so simple... If all you want to do is monitor what packages you maintain that are actually /marked/ out of date, that's simple.. I could throw together a shell script for that in a few seconds (let me know if you think I should). -- Daniel J Griffiths (Ghost1227) griffith...@archlinux.us http://ghost1227.com

Re: [arch-general] New path for vim plugins
Hi guys, sorry for lacking the announcement ... but I guess that's why it is still in testing. The vimcurrent symlink was modelled after debian's behaviour. Turns out that's a necessary as a third tit. Vim actually automatically akak out of the box checks /usr/share/vim/vimfiles as part of the runtimepath. When doing the last update I forgot to remove the explicit runtimepath from archlinux.vim. Newer versions of vim/gvim will NOT set anyruntime path anymore and instead rely on the above provided path. All updates to plugins shall go streight there. This is becuase it is provided by vanilla vim layout. We don't need to tamper with nothing here. -T
