Vim-7.2

[ag@…]

Version increment to 7.2.

Release announcement at:

​http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/msg/d1f03e2fd107c936

I already emailed Alexander to check if still the patch is required, so we can upload a new one to apply without offsets.

With the precious help by our Russian saint and after some tests he provided me (thanks Alexander), I think that we can drop the "mandir" patch, as those directories are searchable by man-db.

Running `man vim*' pages through a (locale) capable terminal, it brings up the correct man page with the expected output. The only observation is that in a KOI8-R locale, it pick up the man pages in "/usr/share/man/ru.UTF-8" directory, but it prints them correctly in the pager.

For the second part of the patch (FHS compliance), we can decide to use a sed or run `make MANDIR=/usr/share/man'.

Please consider to update vim to 7.2, since there many vulnerabilities identified and reported by Jan Minář that got fixed with that release. If you want to start to make some tests to reproduce, run:

strace -e open,stat man -L ll_CC.CODESET nonexistent

where CC.CODESET is a valid glibc locale that match the vim installed man pages in "/usr/share/man/".

I used 7.2 in my most recent build with all current patches and it seems fine. I plan on using this version in the package update scheme.

Updated LFS to Vim-7.2

Unfortunately, I didn't read this ticket until after the update so the mandir patch is included. I'm closing this ticket and I'll open a new one about the mandir patch.
