OK. > If there some substance that you think > we need, then we can update the patch but vim is one of those packages that > we need to keep in sync between LFS and BLFS. The only thing I noticed is that bash is maintained at latest patch and other packages are upgraded just to keep up to the latest. The way vim is maintained is weird. So, I think, it was just a question of consistency. Other distributions do regular updates. Having said that, I understand it is a PITA to summarize individual patches to a(very) large single one. For my personal use, I learned to use vim because it was the default editor in LFS, and noticed that gvim is now my preferred, because it keeps the terminal free for other uses. For may use, I prefer just to apply individual upstream patches in numerical order and had done that last week or so. But I decided yesterday to produce an aggregated one for the book, just for consistency sake and to save your time :-( Anyway, after 7.4, if you wish, I can keep producing regular patches, monthly, may be, for LFS/BLFS.
