Uses the latest released version which includes *many* bug fixes and enhancements (version 1.5 dates back to dec-2003). For details see the changelog at http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/vimfiles/ftplugin/latex-suite/ChangeLog The ebuild seems to work ok on my setup (x86, vim-6.4, gvim *not installed*, several other plugins installed), but I haven't done extensive testing. jorgesmbox-ml@yahoo.es 2006-02-09 17:55:00 0000 Created an attachment (id=79398) latexsuite-1.5.20060124 (Update) ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com 2006-02-10 12:32:34 0000 Is there any reason upstream can't do a proper release? jorgesmbox-ml@yahoo.es 2006-02-10 13:45:05 0000 I already asked to the mailing list about this and I am waiting for an answer. When/if I get an answer, I'll forward it here. jorgesmbox-ml@yahoo.es 2006-02-11 19:00:26 0000 Below you'll find the answer given by the latexSuite package developer when asked about the package's version naming scheme. Acording to his answer, see below, the release named latexSuite20060124 corresponds to version 1.8.07. Note that he also considers the naming scheme based on the date more robust. original mail follows ================================================================== On 11/02/06 22:46, Srinath Avadhanula wrote: > The versioning scheme of vim-latex leaves a little to be desired.

Some things that will need changing: * KEYWORDS should be dropped to all ~ on a bump * DESCRIPTION is triggering the "too loooonnnnng!" warning. "vim plugin: a comprehensive set of tools to view, edit and compile LaTeX documents" says the same thing in fewer words. * I'm wondering whether we should just name the ebuild 200blah rather than including the 1.5. Problem is, if we do this and upstream switches to non-date versions, we're screwed. jorgesmbox-ml@yahoo.es 2006-02-17 03:07:03 0000 (In reply to comment #5) > Okay, guess we'll go with this then.

I am not sure wether you expected me to introduce them or not. If not, let me know for next time. > * I'm wondering whether we should just name the ebuild 200blah rather than > including the 1.5.

Naming the ebuild by the build date is the easiest, but you're right about the switch (it happened already, isn't it?). Another choice is to keep using the internal version number as was done until now, i.e. 1.8.07 for this release, but the problem somehow remains if the author *forgets* to update it and it might be confusing for the user because the vim-latex web site now *only* advertizes the build date. Combining both the internal version and the build date, i.e. this release would be 1.8.07.20060124 or something, would be more robust but also quite ugly. I guess this is your call now. I left this part as it was before. jorgesmbox-ml@yahoo.es 2006-02-17 03:13:50 0000 Created an attachment (id=80002) latexsuite-1.5.20060124 (Update) * Dropped KEYWORDS to ~ for all platforms * Reduced description lenght All changes as adviced by ciaranm ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com 2006-02-24 07:25:43 0000 Thanks.
