Location of Vim files...

[Magnus Therning]

It seems that yet again the vim files moved, this time out of
/usr/share/vim/vim72 up to /usr/share/vim.  This actually broke vim
for users who also had mercurial installed
(http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15403).  Is the current location,
/usr/share/vim, likely to be the standard one for a while now?

As far as vi/vim(7) in extra is concerned, it was always installed in
/usr/share/vim. So vim files location has NOT changed yet again. vim
files in testing are getting installed into /usr/share/vim/vim72 but
that is the future.

Ah, thanks for that.  I thought testing might have already moved into
extra by now.

Is the _current_ location documented somewhere so that maintainers can
find out where to install vim files from upstream (e.g. mercurial)?

Not really, I was aiming for a vimcurrent symlink like debian but taht
was opposed as there seems to be another standard location. Hopefully I
will have another and maybe final vim in teesting by the weekend and
once that is done there will be some documentation(probably in the wiki)
but certainly some notes in vim's PKGBUILD.
