I also rsync after ftp.nluug.nl (after applying the patches when there are
any, and once daily even if there are no patches). Since my rsync command-line
includes --delete this cleans away any .orig or .rej files created by patching
errors, but it also means that the runtimes from the ftp archive make it to my
$VIMRUNTIME in preference to the result of patching. As of this writing, the
plugin/matchparen.vim found there has (in its third line) a date of 2006 Oct
12. (As a side note, this means that my current Vim declares itself to be
7.1.048 but is actually 7.1.047.)
Let's hope the new matchparen version "eventually" finds its way to the ftp
site.
Best regards,
Tony.
