Well, I could do with what SuSE puts out, except they're currently still
at 7.2.108 (February) while I'm at the latest 7.2.166, and, as already
said, I don't like their system vimrc (though it contains several
screenfuls of termcap fixes -- these should perhaps better be in the
termcap / terminfo libraries themselves rather than in "only" a system
vimrc, or if they fix the builtin-termcap to follow the
installed-termcap, and the latter is done right, then ":set
nottybuiltin" ought to be enough).
Building vim is easy, I could do it in my sleep (well, almost). Nothing
like building SeaMonkey v2, which requires upkeep of two Mercurial
repositories and usually takes hours even when the CPU load doesn't go
much higher than 1, which is rarely my case (currently 1.77 2.00 2.16,
and coming from even higher values in the timespan still currently
graphed by ksysguard). Nowadays I even build a "huge" vim +gui and a
"tiny" vi side-by-side (the latter in a "shadow" directory) whenever
there are new patches.
Best regards,
Tony.
