Hi there!
Work on vim is progressing steadily, and a new alpha version has just
been released. One of the new versions is a GTK+ frontend. I would like
to include this frontend in the vim packages when a stable vim is
released. Unfortunately this will add to the already growing number of
vim variants out there, so I would like some opinions on what packages
you want. My current proposal is this:
vim-tiny - will not change
vim-perl - currently uses Xaw, might switch to GTK+
vim-tcl - currently uses Xaw, might switch to GTK+
vim-python - currently uses Xaw, might switch to GTK+
vim - will stay with Xaw or drop X support.
vim-gtk - new package, standard vim but with GTK+
The reason for keeping a binary without GTK+ is that new GTK+ versions
are made rather frequently and I do not feel like releasing a new vim
package every couple of weeks.
Please mail any reaction to me directly so I can keep track of them.
Wichert.
