Alternatively, a change like this will allow existing build scripts to be used with vim... $ tar tzf vim-7.0.tar.gz | head -n 1 vim-7.0/ I had to create that tarball by extracting vim, mv'ing the directory, and repacking the sources, just so I could *use* my build scripts :-(. If/when I ever get around to building vim 7.1.72 (or whatever), I will have to repeat this process. > I don't see how this different name can cause a problem.

Such a change would allow one to use the GNU build script to build vim, i.e. use the same process to build vim as for any GNU software (and any other software that is built in the same fashion as GNU software), rather than having a special script just for vim. -- Matthew "So long, and thanks for all the fish" -- the dolphins --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
