Hello,
thanks for maintaining Asymptote in Debian!
I am giving it a try, but I wanted to see syntax highlighting in VIM.
It seems to me that a VIM addon is shipped in the package:
$ dpkg -L asymptote | grep vim
/usr/share/vim
/usr/share/vim/addons
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/asy_filetype.vim
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/asy.vim
But there seem to be two issues: there's no registry file (hence
vim-addons does not find the addon and cannot manage it) and
the syntax file is placed in ftplugin/ (which looks wrong to me).
In order to enable VIM support for Asymptote I had to prepare
the following file:
$ cat asymptote.yaml
addon: asymptote
description: "easier editing of Asymptote .asy files"
files:
- syntax/asy.vim
- ftdetect/asy_filetype.vim
and to issue the following commands (as root):
# mv /usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/asy.vim /usr/share/vim/addons/syntax/
# cp asymptote.yaml /usr/share/vim/registry/
# chown root:root /usr/share/vim/registry/asymptote.yaml
# chmod 644 /usr/share/vim/registry/asymptote.yaml
After, I was finally able to manage the addon for my regular user
with:
$ vim-addons install asymptote
which automatically set up the following symlinks:
~/.vim/syntax/asy.vim -> /usr/share/vim/addons/syntax/asy.vim
~/.vim/ftdetect/asy_filetype.vim ->
/usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/asy_filetype.vim
Now, when I open a .asy file, VIM automatically enables the appropriate
syntax highlighting.
Please add file asymptote.yaml to package asymptote (so that it
is installed to /usr/share/vim/registry/asymptote.yaml )
and change file debian/asymptote.install so that file asy.vim
is installed to /usr/share/vim/addons/syntax/ (and not to
ftplugin/ ...).
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
