Hi Matthew! I found out how the puppet vim syntax highlighting can be installed: (16:25:35) The topic for #debian-vim is: Maintenance of vim-related Debian packages | http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-vim/ (16:26:24) Rhonda: jamessan: So registering it for a filename match or line match isn't really offered yet, do I read that correct? (16:26:54) DavidS: hi! how can a debian package add to vim's syntax highlighting? I guess the syntax file goes to /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax, but how/where do I teach vim to detect the filetype? (16:27:30) Rhonda: DavidS: The question preceeded you. :P (16:27:54) DavidS: me too! (16:27:56) DavidS: ;) (16:28:01) jamessan: yeah. that requires modification of a single file by all packages, which is more difficult. the best option is to leave instructions for the user in README.Debian that tells them something along the lines of "put 'autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.foo set ft=foo' in your .vimrc or read up in ':he new-filetype' for other ways to recognize the filetype" (16:28:36) jamessan: actually (16:28:40) DavidS: someone recommended to "simply add a "# :set syntax=puppet" to each file" (16:28:49) Rhonda: jamessan: Can't that somehow be done through an include directory and some runtimepath magic or such? (16:28:55) jamessan: you could possibly use /usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/foo.vim (16:29:11) Rhonda: DavidS: I usually put "# :vim:ft=puppet:" into them. (16:30:00) Rhonda: But having it directly done is more convenient, yes. (16:30:02) jamessan: Rhonda: detecting filetype by filename can easily be done via the ftdetect directory. doing the same by file *contents* isn't as easy (16:30:24) Rhonda: That reminds me, we need to add filetype detection for the ldapvi temporary files to have them the ldif syntax loaded. ;) (16:30:38) jamessan: zack could explain the vim-registry stuff if you want to use that :) (16:30:41) Rhonda: Ah, ftdetect - cool. :) (16:31:26) DavidS: it's just "au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.pp setfiletype puppet" (16:31:47) jamessan: well, without the ! (16:32:34) Rhonda: Ah, then it can be done through ftdetect directory. (16:32:59) DavidS: to /usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/puppet.vim and puppet.vim (containing the syntax stuff) to /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/puppet.vim ? (16:34:26) Rhonda: Yes. (16:34:34) Rhonda: :help ftdetect " is helpful, too (16:36:23) DavidS: thanks Kudos to #debian-vim on oftc.net It'd be really great if you could include that. To summarise: just "au BufRead,BufNewFile *.pp setfiletype puppet" to /usr/share/vim/addons/ftdetect/puppet.vim and ext/vim/puppet.vim to /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/puppet.vim. :help ftdetect should give help from within vim. If you don't come around to it, I'll take a look at it after my holidays.
