Bug 21821 – Asking for a new category app-vim

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2003-05-28 04:05:12 UTC]

Well, I'm a VIM user and I've seen there's an app-emacs category. I think that
It'd be very good to have an app-vim category with scripts from
http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php. I don't mind making some ebuilds but first
I should know If you think it is a good idea to have the app-vim category.

Regards,
Ferdy

My first reaction is disagreement to this idea.  My impression is that there are relatively few scripts that warrant being installed on a global basis.  Many of them are intended to be installed as plugins, and we don't really want to install a bunch of plugins that will affect all users on the system.

Are there particular scripts that you have in mind?  I'd like to know more about this before going ahead with it.

[Comment 2 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2003-05-28 15:19:25 UTC]

Yes, i was thinking specially in:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=520
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=570
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=257
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=90

But, maybe you are right...

¿?

[Comment 7 Arun Bhanu (RETIRED) 2003-06-30 10:59:20 UTC]

reopening this bug to add the category app-vim and some useful plugins to that category

[Comment 8 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-06-30 12:42:03 UTC]

Ferdy, my apologies on this bug.  I did not intend to close it with "blah".  At the time I was intending to update a different bug!  :-(

[Comment 9 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-07-31 10:25:06 UTC]

app-vim now exists.  The first ebuild in there is taglist.  More will follow as I can coax licensing information out of the authors...

[Comment 10 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-08-02 08:30:59 UTC]

I have added taglist.  I have also written to the authors of Align, calendar, phpdocs, Gtk+, XSLT and tmpl plugins to ask under what license they've released their plugins.  I shouldn't put this into Gentoo without giving them a chance to tell me the license terms.  If I don't hear back from them for a long time, then I'll assume the vim license and hope that's okay.

[Comment 11 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-08-02 08:37:53 UTC]

I've also written to the authors of the cvscommand and info plugins.

[Comment 12 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-08-04 14:00:40 UTC]

align, info, and gtk-syntax are now in the tree

[Comment 13 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-08-04 15:06:13 UTC]

phpdocs is in

[Comment 14 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-08-11 19:12:11 UTC]

cvscommand, xsl, and calendar are now in.  I think this is sufficient to close this bug.  If you have more plugins to add, please open new bugs to cover them (and include appropriate ebuilds!)  :-)
