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.
Oops, forget the above: something went wrong in how I had updated my
repository. Rather that find out what had gone wrong, I've updated to
the Vim73 branch, reapplied my local changes, and all is well.
Best regards,
Tony.
