new vim 7.0

Mark Greene_1 — Mon, 08 May 2006 12:39:40 GMT

vim 7.0 was just announced this morning. Does anyone know how quickly either http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ or the hp software depot at http://www.software.hp.com/ might have an update?

The announcement is here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vimannounce/message/161

and the new features list looks very useful.

You could be a real UNIX guy and download vim-7.0.tar.bz2 from ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix. It's a straightforward build.

Clay, you are absolutely correct. Perhaps I can use this as motivation to get some time to fire-up our test HP server and give it a go.

Shalom Mark,

Seems to compile just fine.

Perhaps that makes me a real unix guy?

Hope so.

Steven,

Let's hope so. Perhaps the next level of hat ought to feature a flying carpet beneath the laurel wreath and stars to denote "Real Unix Guy", or R.U.G. !!

The lag time between the appearance of the vim 6.4 sources on ftp.vim.org and the appearance of vim 6.4 binaries on the HP-UX porting archive was 45 days.

Like they say on the financial shows though, past performance is no indication of future success... 8-)

Use the source, Mark!

Hi Mark,

Tried the compilation, went fine. You can also give a try on 11.11

Important note:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) At least one PA 2.0 object file (/var/tmp//ccqiwtBa.o) was detected. The linked output may not run on a PA 1.x system.

I don't think its going to work on 11.00

I missed that with last nights posting.
