i'm not sure why, but i think it's connected with mtime of edited files. crontab always writes, that no changes have been made in file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. crontab -e 2. make some changes in file 3. save end exit vim (:wq) Actual Results: crontab: no changes made to crontab Expected Results: crontab should be actualized i've found on google this: http://tinyurl.com/2vfrg. maybe helpfull
I can't reproduce this. Could you paste your emerge info output please?

:help crontab sheds some light on this. What do you have set for backupcopy?
Probably a dup of bug 32938
that's help indeed. i hadn't set that variable and it was automatically set to 'auto'. i've change it to 'yes' and it works fine. don't know why it worked on previous versions, but anyway thanks for help
Hrm, maybe we should add something like "autocmd FileType crontab :set backupcopy=yes" to /etc/vim/vimrc inside our augroup gentoo section. Aron, Ryan -- opinions?
What I find strange is that :help backupcopy mentions that that 'yes' is the default on unix platforms.
That's just really unclear wording in the docs. What is says is: 'backupcopy' 'bkc' string (Vi default for Unix: "yes", otherwise: "auto") What it means is "if you're on Unix, *and* you're using vi behaviour rather than vim behaviour, then it is 'yes', otherwise it is 'auto'". The relevant code is in src/option.c:405-412: {"backupcopy", "bkc", P_STRING|P_VIM|P_COMMA|P_NODUP, (char_u *)&p_bkc, PV_NONE, #ifdef UNIX {(char_u *)"yes", (char_u *)"auto"} #else {(char_u *)"auto", (char_u *)"auto"} #endif }, So if you do vi -u NONE -U NONE -c 'set compatible' , it'll give you "yes".
Added in an autocmd to the default vimrc that'll stop this from affecting anyone else. No revbump, it's not a significant change.
