Package: vim Version: 2:8.0.0022-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I want to set up indentation rules that I am used to. On vim7, it is possible to modify indentation rules in /etc/vim/vimrc.local, but on vim8, most of the settings in /etc/vim/vimrc.local are ignored. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I have this /etc/vim/vimrc.local file: set nocp set autoindent set nocindent set backupcopy=auto,breakhardlink set bs=indent set t_Co=1 hi ModeMsg term=none hi NonText term=none hi SpecialKey term=none hi MatchParen term=none syntax off filetype off filetype plugin off filetype indent off * What was the outcome of this action? Vim8 ignores some of the above settings Vim automatically turns on the "cindent" rule if the file has "c" extension (despite the fact that there is "filetype off" and "nocindent"). The command ":set backupcopy" shows "backupcopy=auto" (the breakhardlink flag is ignored) The command ":set bs" shows "backspace=indent,eol,start" (the setting should be just "indent") The command ":filetype" shows "filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:ON" (it should be turned off) * What outcome did you expect instead? Vim should honor the configuration file /etc/vim/vimrc.local *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- Package-specific info: --- real paths of main Vim binaries --- /usr/bin/vi is /usr/bin/vim.basic /usr/bin/vim is /usr/bin/vim.basic -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-rc4+ (SMP w/12 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=cs_CZ, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3 ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-6.2 ii libselinux1 2.6-3 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160917-1 ii vim-common 2:8.0.0022-1 ii vim-runtime 2:8.0.0022-1 vim recommends no packages.
