[gentoo-science] [patch] system-wide install of debug_gap.vim can not be overridden

Hi,

   I installed sage and also gap via the sage-for-gentoo overlay on a 
Gentoo linux system (64 bit installation). It turned out that gap 
installed a plugin /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/gap_debug.vim where 
some keybindings are defined to help debug gap programs.

First, I think this file should go under 
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ftplugin directory since it applies only to gap 
files. Secondly, the files define some keybindings without allowing for 
the user to override those keybindings in ~/.vimrc.

I am attaching a patch which defines a global vim variable. If the user 
sets that variable in ~/.vimrc, then this gap plugin will not be read. 
This is one way I think the plugin can be made to not supersede user 
settings.

If there is some other way of overriding that plugin file, please let me 
know.

    Thanks and regards,
      Punarbasu.

Hi,

thanks for the info. It looks like you have found something that is installed
by "automagic". Not being a fan of vi I don't have it installed and that vim
file is not installed here. We may need to put it under useflag control.
I think we may adopt your patch until someone more knowledgeable in vim
tell us that's the wrong way of doing things.

Hi Francois,

   I am not surprised that the file debug_gap.vim is not installed in your  
system. The installation of this file is handled by the vim-syntax  
useflag. This useflag also handles the installation of other useful vim  
files.

   One option would be to introduce the debug useflag for gap and install  
this debug_gap.vim file if both vim-syntax and debug flags are on. And,  
during the src_prepare apply the patch to debug_gap.vim. I can provide you  
an updated ebuild if you so desire.

Hi,

I need to take more care when I check the ebuilds before 8am. Yes of course
there is a vim-syntax flag! I don't think we need to overcomplicate 
things with
an extra debug flag. On the other hand being able to override the plugin is a
very good idea. So unless something more refined can be done I think I'll just
adopt your patch.

Hi,

what do you think about completely dropping the file ?

It's a bit drastic in my opinion. It sounds like something useful
if you are a vim user.
