As a vim user, I'd love to explore the syntax script for HFT format,
although I have little knowledge about vim scripting. The issue is
tracked here[1], and the vim syntax looks possible to implement
according to some links there.
The HFT format is supposed to work like sort of "plain text tar". I
also planned to add file mode support. Due to the nature of the HFT
format, one can actually complete the debian/ directory first, then pack
it into the HFT format and append the HFT file to the .durpkg. When
editing the debian/ files in .durpkg feels bad, one can temporarily
unfold the HFT part into the debian/ directory and edit. See [2].
Or one can just keep the debian/ directory unfolded.
Anyway, it would be much better if a vim syntax for HFT is available.
And it would be much appreciated if any vim expert can point me the
shortest path to implement that :-)
