Hi Yakov,
thanks a lot for your fast replies ! :))
You confuses me ! ;) ;) ;) ;) <<<--- Very *BIG* smilies !
Means:
The only way to keep my vim uptodate, I know,is to download the
patches from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/. and apply
those...
Oh no, this is not the only method.
When you download sources from svn or cvs, you get already patched
sources (all patches applied). This is what vim7-install.sh does for you,
plus build and install, all in one command.
This is why svn or cvs is much easier method of getting up-to-date
sources than ftp.
BTW early version of vim7-install.sh indeed used ftp and applied
patched one-by-one. This worked, but much slower than svn/cvs.
Now it seems, that -- before doing anything else -- I have to update
myself to the newest version of "How to update vim"..... ;)
Is this correct (?) :

[ ] The patches I used to use (see above) are called "Bram's patches"
correct
[ ] "External patches" are patches from any other developper other
than Bram.
correct
[ ] Getting patches from svn instead of the source described above
(ftp) are not seperated in files.
