This + is described in more detail at ":help defaults.vim". + + Since defaults.vim is loaded when the user's vimrc would typically be + loaded, it will override any settings in /etc/vim/vimrc(.local). In order + to disable the loading of defaults.vim, add + + let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 + + to /etc/vim/vimrc(.local). + + -- James McCoy <jamessan@debian.org> Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:28:02 -0400 + +vim (2:7.4.2330-1) unstable; urgency=medium + + The Python language bindings have been switched from python2 to python3. + If you have plugins/addons that use Python, they may need to be updated to + support python3. + + Similarly, python3 specific packages may need to be installed to re-enable + plugins (e.g., python-powerline is replaced by python3-powerline) or plugin + features. + + -- James McCoy <jamessan@debian.org> Wed, 07 Sep 2016 22:12:11 -0400 + +vim (2:7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-1) unstable; urgency=low + + The vim-lesstif package has been removed in favor of the new vim-athena + package. The intent behind both packages is to provide a lighter-weight GUI + package as well as one that allows using XFLD fonts. The Athena toolkit, + however, has broader usage and reduces divergences with downstream + distributions. + + -- James Vega <jamessan@debian.org> Sun, 27 Feb 2011 12:45:40 -0500 + +vim (2:7.2c.000-1) experimental; urgency=low + + The autoindent option is no longer enabled by default because: + - 'autoindent' is rather naïve and turning on filetype-specific indentation + (via "filetype indent on") is usually a better choice. + - not having any automatic indenting enabled by default prevents new users + from encountering the bad indentation issue when pasting text. + + Filetype plugins are no longer enabled by default because certain actions + (like preventing the loading of the default menus) *must* occur before + filetype detection is enabled. By enabling filetype plugins (and detection) + in debian.vim, we are preventing the user from being able to make changes to + Vim's behavior.

From now on vim addons won't be enabled by + default upon installation but will need to be enabled on a per-addon basis + either in a system-wide manner (affecting all users of the system) or by + each user who wants to use them. A tool exists for helping with addon + management: it is called "vim-addons" and is shipped by the package + "vim-addon-manager"; all vim addon packages should recommend it. + + For more information see the VIM packaging policy (available on the web at + http://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/index.html) and the + manual page of vim-addons, available in the vim-addon-manager package. + + -- Stefano Zacchiroli <zack@debian.org> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 23:28:44 +0200 |
