Package: vim-common Version: 2:8.0.0003-1 Followup-For: Bug #837761 Dear Maintainer,
The fix in 8.0.0022 does not sound like much of a fix: it is still impossible to override specific defaults.vim settings. I'll also note that, at least in 8.0.0003, defaults.vim says: | " This is loaded if no vimrc file was found. | " Except when Vim is run with "-u NONE" or "-C". | " Individual settings can be reverted with ":set option&". Which is patently false: * /etc/vim/vimrc exists and yet /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim is loaded too. * The settings cannot be reverted with ":set option&" since the Debian package makes it impossible to run commands after defaults.vim. As harald said this is at the root an "order of inclusion" issue. So a better solution would be to load all these extra configuration files near the end of /etc/vim/vimrc but before /etc/vim/vimrc.local is invoked. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vim-common depends on: ii xxd 2:8.0.0003-1+b1 Versions of packages vim-common recommends: ii vim 2:8.0.0003-1+b1 vim-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
