Vim for Debian --------------- 1. The current Debian Vim scripts policy can be found in the vim-doc package under /usr/share/doc/vim-common and <http://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/>. 2. Before reporting bugs, check if the bug also exists if you run vim with "vim -u NONE -U NONE". If not, make sure that the "bug" is not a result of a setting in your ~/.vimrc before reporting it. -- Stefano Zacchiroli <zack@debian.org> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:59:41 -0400 MzScheme Vim variant -------------------- As requested by the current MzScheme maintainer (Ari Pollak <ari@debian.org>), a vim-mzscheme variant is not being built. The reasons stated are as follows: 1) MzScheme does not build on many of Debian's supported architectures. 2) The MzScheme package is not versioned based on the library. 3) The MzScheme ABI changes with every upstream version. -- James Vega <jamessan@debian.org> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:48:25 -0400 Modeline support disabled by default ------------------------------------ Modelines have historically been a source of security/resource vulnerabilities and are therefore disabled by default in $VIMRUNTIME/debian.vim. You can enable them in ~/.vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc with "set modeline". In order to mimic Vim's default setting (modelines disabled when root, enabled otherwise), you may instead want to use the following snippet: if $USER != 'root' set modeline else set nomodeline endif The securemodelines script from vim.org (and in the vim-scripts package) may also be of interest as it provides a way to whitelist exactly which options may be set from a modeline. -- James Vega <jamessan@debian.org> Sun, 04 May 2008 03:11:51 -0400
