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.

By enabling filetype plugins (and detection) + in debian.vim, we are preventing the user from being able to make changes to + Vim's behavior.
