Hi,

I'm maintaining the vim-full[1] package which is a vim with all the
gvim features (Ruby/Lua/Python/Perl/Netbeans) but without GTK/X.

Now obviously I have to depend on vim-runtime, and I currently I have
the version number pinned (just like the vim package).

However that makes upgrading vim-runtime difficult, because pacman
doesn't know about the vim-full upgrade. A possible solution is to
build via `makepkg -d` (ignoring the old vim-runtime version), then
upgrading both vim-full and vim-runtime.

Should I just not pin the version at all (as in "partial upgrades
aren't supported anyways") to avoid these problems?

I'd say, regarding pinning keep it as it is.

I have other issues: Built from AUR, this is not an official Arch Linux 
package, so you should use

--with-compiledby="$PACKAGER"  instead of --with-compiledby='Arch Linux'

(users who do not set PACKAGER in their makepkg.conf will get an empty string, 
but this is their fault)

And: If this is named -full, it should be full, so also python3 should be 
supported.

Best Regards

Stefan
