Is there any particular reason why vim wasn't updated,to match LFS version? LFS upgraded to vim-6.4,since Oct 31. You have also to consider the fact,that most probably,everyone who uses vim will rebuild it,for to link the package against the X libraries,this is serious mismatch.

Apparently, nobody 1)had the time, 2)had the know-how, 3)thought it important enough, 4)remembered to do it. :-)

Well, just to prove your theory wrong, I have never seen the need to build a graphical Vim. Ever. And that is probably the biggest reason I didn't fix this bug. Because I don't want to install graphical Vim, therefore, it was difficult for me to build and test it.

I am unassigning the bug from myself.

And BTW, instead of complaining about it not being done, why not send in a patch instead?

Well Randy,excuse me if you took it at the wrong way.

Well i choose the N.4 option and that was the main and only reason for my comment.

X11 selection maybe?Don't say to me to use xclip,it's a hack. I never used gvim either,but i want the copy/paste operation between different applications in my vim.

Understandable but you do it at the wrong time and you looked insulted from my comment. Well if my comment made you mad and insulted then i am as much as insulted as you are,no more no less.

And BTW, instead of complaining about it not being done, why not send in a patch instead?

Lack of time.In fact i am trying,to answer to your comment for a half an hour and i can't,because i have my forty-two days old daughter in my arms,because if i leave her in the bed she will cry,and this is a permanent situation.

I am trying to help the project with every way i can and i promise you after eastern,most probably i will try to submit patches.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Good enough. Thanks for the reminder, Ag. Sorry about the perception of my reply, nothing really was meant by it. Let's move forward knowing that I simply misunderstood your intentions, and then didn't word my response exactly correct.

I suppose there is merit to using graphical Vim for text selection, though I rarely find the need to select more than a screen full at a time, which I can do just fine in text-based Vim. In the rare instances when I need to select more than fits on one screen (which is quite a bit as my xterms are large and vim uses the whole xterm window), I simply cat the file in an xterm and then select as much as I need from the xterm, or I can fire up a KDE or GNOME editor.

Keep that sweetie in your arms for as long as you can. There will come a day when you won't be able to, and that day will come too soon.

Now it's my turn to ask sorry from you,please accept it. In addition and just for you to know it,i always read your comments carefully and i admire you for your dedication to the project.

You can always put a line in your vimrc,something like map x :!/usr/X11R6/bin/xclip -f will do the job.You can find xclip in debian repo.

The LFS instructions for building VIM include stuff that is not included in the BLFS instructions. It appears that it is mostly stuff for UTF-8, however, BLFS still needs to mirror the LFS instructions.

Updated vim instructions to delete tutorials not in ISO-8859-1 format. This mirrors the LFS instructions.

Note: This really should have been a separate ticket and not a reopened ticket.
