Vim 7.3 is out, and it offers an opportunity to look at this package. I'd love getting vim compiled with +ruby for the next version. This may be a biggie, so I'll try to defend why this is a good idea. 1- More and more of the newer plugins, such as command-t, require ruby. Command-T is a relatively new Vim plugin that does fuzzy matching on the entire path, giving greater weight to characters immediately following slashes or other word separators in the pathname. I've been using it for a few days now and can attest that it is extremely fast and seems to "know" exactly which file I want after just a few keystrokes. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3025 | http://github.com/wincent/Command-T Even the author of FuzzyFinder admits command-t is better. Unfortunately, unavailable to us due to -ruby. 2 - There's a strong trend away from vimscript, which is very limited. #1 Feature in the 'vim new features' voting poll is "add integration with Python instead of inventing more Vim script ". The ruby community is very active and creative (just look at the stats on github) and it'd be nice to give the rubists within gentoo the oportunity to hack vim plugins. This'd be easier if the packaged vim comes with +ruby. THanks! Reproducible: Always
Is this bug relevant anymore? I think we've had ruby support for vim for awhile now.
