There is absolutely no need to install Subversion or whatever SCM for that matter. You can get up-to-date Vim from repo.or.cz. Either from vim_mainline or vim_extended. Go to: http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git >From the description you will notice that you are interested in the master branch. Scroll down, you will see some information about the branches available. Click "tree" which coresponds to the master branch. You will get to: http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git/tree/master Here at the top you are given the option to download a snapshot of the branch as a .tar.bz2 or .zip file. In other words, you get the most recent Vim source code from: http://repo.or.cz/w/vim_mainline.git/snapshot/master.zip Note that this is an independent repository (not maintained by Bram Moolenaar). -- Cheers, Lech Lorens -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
