Hi Bram, At first, I have to say one thing: minpac is actually a plugin manager using the packages feature, not a package manager. It cannot download packages and install them. (Maybe it's better to fix the document.)

Yes, minpac supports only git repositories. Nowadays most Vim plugins have each git repository. I don't have a plan to support other types of plugins. I want to keep minpac simple. > - Does it automatically update, or does the user need to execute a > command to update the packages? It doesn't automatically update. If a user want to update plugins, he need to execute: call minpac#update() Minpac doesn't define a command for this, but the user define a command for this by himself if he want. > - It mentions "start" plugins and "opt" plugins, who makes that choice? The user should specify this as an argument of `minpac#add()`. For "start" plugins: call minpac#add('account/plugin') or call minpac#add('account/plugin', {'type': 'start'}) For "opt" plugins: call minpac#add('account/plugin', {'type': 'opt'}) > - Is there a list of packages and how to add them? As I wrote above, minpac actually doesn't manage packages. It only handles one package, `~/.vim/pack/minpac` by default. About a list of plugins, the user should register the plugins by `minpac#add()`. Normally he will write a list in his .vimrc like this: call minpac#add('account1/plugin1') call minpac#add('account1/plugin2') call minpac#add('account2/plugin3') call minpac#add('https://example.com/account3/plugin4.git') This is similar to other plugin managers: Vundle, vim-plug, dein.vim, etc. Regards, Ken Takata -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
