I even think about 'what would happen splitting runtime from Vim, and
upload it to bitbucket / github' ?
I like this idea and it's been discussed in the past.
If I recall, Bram was not interested in pulling updates from a separate
repository for runtime. So the idea kind of died before it really started.
I for one prefer pulling the whole source from one place. Once upon a
time, patches to the code were distributed only by email and ftp (as
they still are) but changes to the runtime files weren't included, or
only rarely (as they still aren't), so the runtime/ directory tree had
to be kept up-to-date by rsync. Nowadays a single Mercurial repository
holds both the C code (plus the, single I think, C++ source file, and
the makefiles, and the configure script, etc.) OT1H, and the runtime
OTOH, so a single operation gets all the latest sources (runtimes
included) in one fell swoop. Much simpler. Even my few changes to
src/feature.h and .hgignore are merged automagically. No sweat.
Best regards,
Tony.
