I notice this patch modifies one runtime file. This reminds me that runtime
updates are not always reflected in patches. Do the files in
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/ (and the equivalent rsync repository,
ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ) apply to 7.0 only, or to both 7.0 and 7.1? (The
latest changes there are for a large number of spelling dictionaries.)
They are for both. There are no (recent) source code changes that are
required for the updated runtime files.
On thinking back, I would suspect they /aren't/ the same, since the
first line of each helpfile mentions either 7.0 or 7.1a -- so at least
the contents of the doc/ subfolders are different. So -- will runtime
upgrades for 7.1 beta be always reflected in patches, or else will
there be a runtime server -- and where?
[...]
Well, then for 7.1a I suppose I can use the same rsync command, but with
--exclude="/doc/" in addition to --exclude="/dos/" so the "new" helpfiles
(with 7.1a in the first line) won't all be replaced, and the ":help
version-7.1" section won't be deleted. This makes it (please remove spurious
linebreaks added by my mailer or by yours, and correct me if I'm wrong)
cd ~/.build/vim/vim71a
rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" --exclude="/doc/"
ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/ 2>&1 |tee rsync.log
But won't this roll back the 7.1a.001 change in autoload/spellfile.vim ?
Best regards,
Tony.
