[gentoo-dev] [RFC] New eclass vim-runtime

[gentoo-dev] [RFC] New eclass vim-runtime

[Aric Belsito]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 606 bytes --]

This is really messy at the moment because I'm not sure whether the vim
team is interested, and I didn't want to put in the effort if it's just
going to be rejected, but I'm posting what I have here to start some
kind of discussion.

At the moment functions/other things need to be described, among other
issues. I have not yet tested to see if everything is still working with
vim, though I believe it works with neovim.

I'm also adding a patch file for vim-plugin.eclass, vim-doc.eclass and
vim-spell.eclass

I have a bug open on the bugtracker as well:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/612644

Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] New eclass vim-runtime

[Vadim A. Misbakh-Soloviov]

DEPENDS part and "binary" function makes me sad panda:
they assumes there are no "vims" exist, while there is at least `vim-qt` 
(well, actually that one is dropped from gentoo) and `neovim-qt` (and that one 
is in overlays, but anyway), and so on.

I think, it'd be nice to somehow avoid exact binary names matching (just as 
exact package names), or, uhm... make it extendable somehow?

[Aric Belsito]

Hi Patrice,

No problem, thanks for looking at it. I'll get on the #gentoo-vim IRC
channel to discuss things.

I don't have any issues with the review, but I'm debating whether it's a
better idea to use a USE_EXPAND for vim implementations or maybe a
virtual?, and then iterate through those and install to the appropriate
runtime directories -- this was just the simplest and least destructive
implementation I could think of to get the packages in app-vim working
on neovim. (and make it easy to replace
`insinto /usr/share/vim/vimfiles` with `insinto $(vimfiles_directory)`
for packages that include vim syntax.)

Yeah, the DEPEND part and the `vim_binary` function are not pretty. I
pulled them out of the vim-plugin, vim-spell, and vim-doc eclasses and
didn't rewrite them.

I do know about neovim-qt, but isn't that just a UI that communicates
with RPC to a neovim binary? e.g. if you wanted to use a plugin with
neovim-qt wouldn't you just install it for neovim?
