  • [gentoo-dev] Gentoo Vim needs your help!

    From Patrice Clement@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 4 23:00:01 2022
    Hi!

    I'm the only maintainer left within the Gentoo Vim Project [1] and would need some help to maintain the vim editor along with the app-vim/ category.

    vim and vim packages are low-maintenance: a version bump here, a security fix there. vim ebuilds aren't that complicated. vim eclasses have to be migrated to EAPI 8. I would like the eclasses to support neovim at some point too (yeah it's about time).

    It has been suggested to disband the project and return all vim packages to maintainer-needed since, well, I'm the only person in it. To be honest, I would like the project structure to remain as-is as I think disbanding the project may make matters worse.

    Feel free to join the #vim IRC channel on irc.libera.chat or respond to this email if you're interested.
