[Vim-latex-devel] A bunch of Debian bugs

[Franz P. <fp...@fr...>]

Hello,

I'm the new maintainer of vim-latexuite in Debian GNU/Linux. There are
some open bugs in our BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/vim-latexsuite
which need your attendence. Some have already been forwarded to your BTS
or mailing list a few months/years ago but don't seem to be fixed in the
current release.

I created patches against 20060325 for 2 issues myself which are attached
and work:

 - 03_insertitem.patch, http://bugs.debian.org/350021
   When going into insert mode with a there are issues with the
   placement of \item. Please see the bug for details.

 - 04_fname_outline.patch, http://bugs.debian.org/365152
   outline.py adds the .tex extension twice when it's already given in
   and input/include statement.

These are the bugs I wasn't able to address myself and need your
assistence:

 - http://bugs.debian.org/233682
 - http://bugs.debian.org/310649
 - http://bugs.debian.org/312816
 - http://bugs.debian.org/282753

And these are bugs which were already forwarded to you:

 - http://bugs.debian.org/242974
 - http://bugs.debian.org/280793
 - http://bugs.debian.org/254619

Please take your time as all of these bugs are more than one year old
and mostly minor though should get fixed in the near future.

Thanks,
Franz

Thanks for taking up the maintenance.

I incorporated your patch in the latest SVN.

I fixed this also, but in a slightly different manner. I think one more
function would be confusing so I just made getFileContents in outline.py
handle the file-reading, like your includeFile function.

!commando ends in insert mode

This looks more like a vim issue that a latex-suite issue, even
though without latex-suite it doesn't seem to manifest itself. If this
annoys an end-user, I would suggest using some other mapping for jumping
to the next place-holder.

makeprg not set to 'make target' when Makefile in pwd is present

This was asked in the mailing list a while back. This is not really
a bug in the program but in the documentation. Although 'makeprg' is set
to something other than 'make <target>', when the user presses \ll to
compile, latex-suite temporarily resets 'makeprg' to 'make <target>'. In
other words, latex-suite uses the Makefile at the last step. Issuing the
:make command from the command-line will not use the Makefile.

I will update the documentation.

<F5> doesn't work properly when showcmd is set

I'll fix this in the next release. It should be a matter of changing
line 653 in plugin/imaps.vim to:

let s:RemoveLastHistoryItem =3D ':silent! call histdel("/", -1)|let
@/=3Dg:Tex_LastSearchPattern'

Although I have not tested this. For me even with 'showcmd' I do not get
the message, so I cannot reproduce this bug.

support for latex-beamer

I really do not know about this package. I remember some discussion
about this on the list, but cannot remember what happened off the top of
my head. I would gladly accept patches etc.

Great, I'll keep my patch in Debian until you release a new version.

All right, I'll contact the vim maintainers and see what they think
about it.

Thanks, I'll post your explanation and close the bug.

Ok, I'll do some testing and maybe cook up a patch to fix this in another
Debian revision.

I am interested in latex-beamer support myself as I use it quite regulary.
Perhaps I dig some more into vim-latexsuite and add support for it. But I
can't guaranntee if time permits. ;-)

Great. Thanks for your comments so far.

One more question: Is there a timeframe on when the next version of
vim-latexsuite will be released? And, if not in the near future, is SVN
trunk generally stable enough to ship it with Debian unstable? It would
undergo a testing phase of at least 5 days to 10 days there until being put
into testing (next stable, currently etch).

Cheers,
Franz

Is a package to create presentations with LaTeX that is very, very powerful=

for creating layouts, using themes and the like. It creates a pdf=20
presentation that is fully navigable.

Is really, really cool
