Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: minor
man vim states that
-C Compatible. Set the 'compatible' option. This will make Vim
behave mostly like Vi, even though a .vimrc file exists.
However vim -C is not compatible. This is due to a set nocompatible
statement in /usr/share/vim/vim71/debian.vim. I suggest adapting the
manpage or discarding this statement.
[off topic:]
I stumbled upon this while trying to make vim compatible based on the
program name, i.e. compatible for invoking vi and nocompatible for
invoking vim. Is there a better way to achieve this than using this
$ cat ~/bin/vi
#!/bin/sh
exec vim -u NONE -U NONE $@
$
shell script?
