Vim 7.3a is out. However, its src/Makefile still has

VIMMAJOR = 7
VIMMINOR = 2

This means that it will install its runtime files under $VIM/vim72 at install-time, but search for them under $VIM/vim73a at runtime.

Trying to start the new vim executable gives a lot of errors, and finally gives me $VIMRUNTIME == $VIM. Then I did the following:

cd /usr/local/share/vim
mv -v vim72 vim73a
ln -sv vim73a vim72

to "rename" vim72 to vim73a, but softlink the old name to the new one. Now the new Vim starts with no error, and $VIMRUNTIME == "$VIM/vim73a".


Best regards,
Tony.
