vim 7 for Ubuntu Dapper e Breezy
Vim 7 is ready! After years of development this feature packed editor
is waiting for you.
Since Vim 6.4 many new features have been added.
To mention a few:
- Spell checking support for about 50 languages
- Intelligent completion for C, HTML, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.
- Tab pages, each containing multiple windows
- Undo branches: never accidentally lose text again
- Vim script supports Lists and Dictionaries (similar to Python)
- Vim script profiling
- Improved Unicode support
- Highlighting of cursor line, cursor column and matching braces
- Translated manual pages support.
- Internal grep; works on all platforms, searches compressed files
- Browsing remote directories, zip and tar archives
- Printing multi-byte text Once you have installed Vim 7.0 you can find details about the changes since Vim 6.4 with “:help version7″.
Backported for Debian Sarge, for Breezy and Dapper
A special thanks to Vim Packaging Team

Great, will you push this in the official backport tree? I would love to see it there… I am not fan of adding dozens of records in my sources.list…

How to upgrade? Do I need to remove the original Vim? What line to add in sources.list?

lzap: All I did was add this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://www.freshnet.it/debian/ dapper/
Then I went into Synaptic (sorry am not yet familiar with the apt CLI tools yet) and pressed “Reload” Did a search for “vim” and it was there. Can’t remember whether I had to tell it to upgrade the package unfortunately. It should be easy to work out from there.
My problem is that I can’t get Vim to work correctly. Under normal conditions it reports that it can’t find any of colour schemes and none of the syntax highlighting works. Run this command though: gksu gvim and everything is fine!
Anyone got any ideas?

Liam, you’ve put the correct line in your sources.list. Now you just need to run ‘apt-get install vim’ to install/upgrade.

Thanks for the vim7 packages.
Nice job, they work beautifully.
I wish this could make it into the dapper backports, even as a separate package, ie : vim7 as opposed to vim.
I think the restriction not include vim7 in dapper is very short shighted.

Thanks very much for making this availale.
You mention “intelligent completion for C, HTML, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.” but this version does not have support for ruby or python compiled in, so this won’t work, will it?

it’s great, thanks =)

I seem to have VIM installed but how does one run it? Pardon the lame question, but its dettering my Python learning.

Ah ok, I didnt have gvim-python installed, problem cleared thanks. :]

Big “Thank you”

In reply to a question on color scheme and syntax highlighing:
I uncommented few lines in “vimrc” located in /etc/vim/ and it worked.

Nice work, but unfortunately arrow keys don’t work in : (colon) mode in gvim. I get control characters in the command instead.
