When emerging the package app-vim/gentoo-syntax-20120109, the following elog messages are displayed: * * This plugin provides documentation via vim's help system. To * view it, use: * :help gentoo-syntax * * This plugin makes use of filetype settings. To enable these, * add lines like: * filetype plugin on * filetype indent on * to your ~/.vimrc file.
