Bug 544060 – >=www-servers/nginx-1.5.8: use vim-syntax in contrib/ instead of app-vim/nginx-syntax

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description René 'Necoro' Neumann 2015-03-21 21:14:13 UTC]

As of nginx version 1.5.8, the vim-syntax is distributed alongside nginx in the contrib/-directory (compare [1]).

The version there has multiple fixes and enhancements over the script shipped by app-vim/nginx-syntax, namely everything listed here [2] and further changes in its time in the nginx repository (NB: the one minor difference between nginx.vim-0.3.2 and -0.3.3 is NOT included ... but well).

Solution 1: Remove nginx-syntax and install it with nginx directly.
Solution 2: Make nginx-syntax use the syntax from contrib/

This isn't up to the vim herd, the nginx maintainers should take option 1 and have it block the app-vim/nginx-syntax pkg until it's removed from the tree.

I'll look at this for the next 1.8.x release as well as the upcoming 1.9.x release.

This landed in 1.8.x and 1.9.x.
