Since I don't like hacking the system vimrc each time I update, and because I like to stay on Vim's bleeding edge, I added Vim to my portage/profile/package.provided file so Gentoo Portage wouldn't try to manage it for me. It works great because my package manager is aware that Vim is available as a dependency for other packages I may choose to install, but won't try to update it for me. Do other package managers in other distros have a similar concept? This is a great solution for me since I like to build Vim by hand, but perhaps it wouldn't work so well for someone who doesn't want to be bothered with building Vim in the first place, who is just looking for the package manager to "get it right" in the first place. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
