Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.429-2
Priority: wishlist
Hi maintainer,
Could you please add support for Vala (*.vala, *.vapi) syntax highlighting
to the vim package?
There's a syntax script and instructions on how to add it to your .vimrc
here:
http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Vim
There are also comments in vala.vim itself about wanting to add some
things to the global vimrc. The instructions also add parsing of valac
errors, but I personally care less about those.
I suspect they're waiting for a 1.0 release of Vala before adding it
upstream (as implied by the vala.vim comments), but given that there's an
increasing amount of code in Vala, it would be good to have some form of
syntax highlighting now.
If you'd like me to, I'm happy to give you a debdiff or something to
implement this.
Thanks,

No, I won't. The upstream maintainers of those runtime files should
work with the Vim author if they want the runtime files included with
Vim. This isn't something that I will diverge from upstream Vim on.
An alternative would be including it in the vim-scripts package, but
that's much easier if the script is published on vim.org and proper
ftplugin and ftdetect scripts are written.
