Being a Vim user and having just moved to Arch I noticed that most (all?)packages for Vim plugins install system wide. This may not be desirable since it means all users get all the plugins, and not using pacman for plugins puts
the burden of keeping up-to-date on the individual users.
So, inspired by Debian's vim-additions-manager, I came up with a (fairly)light-weight solution: vim-scripts-mgr[1]. It looks for available Vim plugins
in `/usr/share/vim-scripts` (one directory per plugin) and can install and uninstall individual plugins by adding symbolic links in ~/.vim for a user. I've already uploaded two Vim plugins that make use of it, Align[2] and haskellmode[3]. I'd be thrilled if others who package Vim plugins would consider using it. /M [1]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26318 [2]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26319 [3]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26343 -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
