Re: RFC: fewer vim variants
Hi Luca,
sorry about the Cc, but eye-balling -devel didn't reveal much activity
from you, so I'm not sure if you track the list. M-F-T is set to d-d.

It' been a while since you sent that message. Any changes or progress?
Upstream is at patchlevel 72 of release 6.2. As you know 6.2 has
support for GTK+ 2, which is a significant point for people using UTF
and/or XIM (and those of use who think antialiased text looks good).
I'd very much like sarge to go out the door with this version of vim
instead of the 6.1.474 we have right now (testing actually has 6.1.320)
At the moment:
* Perl is lost (that threaded thing)
* Can't actually compile the package because ruby-dev isn't
installable (wasn't there a -ruby mailing list? I can't say if
this problem is transient or not, no bugs filed, and no noise in
d-d-a)
* The package's build system is not the most developer friendly
thing in the world. AFAICR this is Wichert's legacy (uh, sorry,
not poinging fingers, just trying to remember for how long I've
intended to submit a patch :-(
build-stamp-%:
dh_testdir
$(MAKE) -C $(SRCDIR) clean
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Evil!
cd $(SRCDIR) && CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS_$(*))" ./configure $(CFGFLAGS_$(*))
$(MAKE) -C $(SRCDIR)
mv $(SRCDIR)/src/vim $(SRCDIR)/src/vim-$(*)
touch $@
That really should read:
build-stamp-%:
dh_testdir
rm -rf $(SRCDIR)-$(*)
mkdir $(SRCDIR)-$(*)
cd $(SRCDIR)-$(*) && lndir $(SRCDIR)
cd $(SRCDIR)-$(*) && CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS_$(*))" ./configure $(CFGFLAGS_$(*))
$(MAKE) -C $(SRCDIR)-$(*)
touch $@
It makes debugging so much easier...
