No syntax highlighting with ~* of vim. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. vim /etc/portage/* 2. behold the colorless syntax, attempt to do :syntax on and see no difference. Actual Results: no syntax highlighting :( Expected Results: Pretty and colorful syntax highlighting which somehow makes me happier and more satisfied with my life. Considered making the severity high to be funny, but decided not to.

My apologies for the ugly formatting above, here it is in a pastebin: http://rafb.net/p/GOF02D37.html
Which versions of vim-core/vim are these? (`emerge -vp vim-core vim')
I can confirm that with =app-editors/vim-7.1.319 =app-editors/vim-core-7.1.319 the newest app-vim/gentoo-syntax doesn't do highlighting at all in /etc/portage/*
Created attachment 164932 [details, diff] gentoo.vim diff a more lite weight version of 'au BufNewFile,BufRead' for package.{keyword,unmask & co } packages. package.use-somebackupextension is also supported.

Set filetype (:set ft=...) for packages that don't match the patterns in ftdetect/gentoo.vim or put the patched gentoo.vim under ~/.vim/ftdetect/
May I ask why this is set to WONTFIX? I agree that the backup-extension stuff in the proposed diff is a user preference and shouldn't be in the system config, but I can't see a reason for the current behaviour: vim /etc/portage/package.use --> without highlighting cd /etc/portage; vim package.use --> with syntax highlighting I still believe that this is not intended and got accidentally broken with the support for subdirectories in /etc/portage, as now there is a / in the autocommand-pattern which disables matching only the basename of the path.
app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20090220 fixes this issue anyway, so I've switched over to using that.
