I can understand, that this is frustrating and I have felt the same, when I noticed, that some of my patches are still in the todo list (and get there buried...) > What is your opinion as an active Vim developer?

As such I try to help and fix problems as soon as I note so that it will be easier for Bram to merge. In your case, I would probably maintain the installer separately, if this is possible. Be active, show support, fix problems, be gentle so that it is easier to gain confidence that you really like to help. It has happened that people tried to push their patches, and once they were included they vanished and bugs were introduced that had to be fixed by Bram. So until you patch gets merged announce that you will publish your change e.g. at a certain github project were people can get compiled binaries that they can try out. Try to get in contact with other people that provide binaries for windows like Steve Hall, or the tuxman (https://tuxproject.de/projects/vim/) or the guys behind https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/l8TY2EiXNwk to see, if you all can contribute to improve the current state. > > BTW: What kind of 1000 lines code change you are talking about? > > If my changes will be merged with speed of 20 lines every 2 years, it would > take 100 years to merge 1000 lines. Do you have that many changes, that you'd like to contribute? Best, Christian -- Steigt Rauch aus meinem Tower, werd' ich lieber Bauer. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
