The order of directories in 'runtimepath' is intentional and follows the way that Vim upstream orders the directories. The only difference is that the /var/lib/vim/addons{,/after} directories are inserted.
Using the after/ directories isn't a workaround. The entire reason they exist is so the system-wide settings can be overridden by users. I'm not sure what you mean by "many vim filetype plugins do not come with after/ hooks". Just create a new file in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ that matches the ftplugin's name in the non-after directory and it will get sourced. -- runtimepath lets system settings override user settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
