#416 closed defect (fixed)

Vim - FHS Compliance notes are bogus

Description

AFAICT, vim does not use the localstatedir. In other words, passing --localstatedir=/var/lib/vim to vim is not going to make it use that dir for its temporary state files.

We need to do one of the following:-

  1. Fix the vim source code to respect the localstatedir (difficult)
  2. Get rid of the vim FHS compliance notes paragraph altogether (easy)
  3. Change the wording to reflect reality (easy)

Take your pick! :)

Change History (4)

I vote for removing the paragraph then.
