As of app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20070506, the files /etc/portage/package.* are highlighted correctly. But those can also be directories containing multiple files. In this case, these files aren't highlighted at all. In the Gentoo forums ( http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-725168.html ), I was said that echo "au BufNewFile,BufRead /*/package.use/* set filetype=gentoo-package-use" >> ~/.vim/ftdetect/gentoo-enhance.vim would do the trick (in this case for package.use/*). I think this should be fixed :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The 20081006 package already fixes this, some other bugs in it preventing stabilization, so I hope to release a new version soon. Marking as a dupe of the stablereq *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 248220 ***
