[Vim-latex-devel] Revolution! :)

[<mi...@wp...>]

OK. Subject is exaggeration, but not so much.

Attaching two files:
packages.diff
packages.vim

(Files are ff=unix)
Big comments inside.

First is only diff (diff -u -3 -p), second is complete file packages.vim. Revolution is: now functions in packages.vim looks in all rtp 
directories for package files and creates complete list. Sounds unimpressive but it allow for creating real distribution packages and 
real *nix behaviour with system wide files and local modifications. I am dusting off 'man rpm' ;)

Jokes aside. There are still issues:
creating menus is based on list returned by globpath(). How to sort endresults and remove duplicate entries? I remember long 
discussions on vim-list about Sort and Uniq. I didn't follow it closely. Could someone suggest the best solutions?

I tested it on Linux. Vim does good job with globpath() and directory separators but could someone check it on Windows (on this 
machine I cannot install Vim)?

Currently I don't have access to cvs. Srinath, could you commit this (after win-test) with Tex_file_rtp() in main.vim? I can proceed with 
implementation for templates and macros.

Sounds important : one of the first things I added into mu-template --
thanks to searchInRuntime.vim (which defines some hybrid commands
between :runtime and the unix's `find' tool)

The last entry according to 'runtimepath' should be the one! Or the
first, as you wish. I'm not sure sort or uniq will be very useful here.

Just in case, with :SearchInRuntime, I would have written something
like:
    function s:AddFileToList(file)
      let fn = fnamemodify(a:file, ':t')
      if s:list =~ a:file
	" use the "keep the last entry"-policy
	let s:list = substitute(s:list, 
            \ "^\\(\\|\n\\)\\zs[^\\n]*".fn."\\ze\\(\n\|$\\)", a:file, 'g')
      else
	let s:list = s:list . "\n".a:file
      endif
    endfunction
    command! -nargs=1 LetFiles :call s:AddFileToList('<q-args>')

    let s:list = ''
    SearchInRuntime! :LetFile packages/foo*.vim

The best solutions for uniq and sort have been included into
system_utils.vim avaible on my web site.

Hello!

Unfortunately, I am really busy nowadays with some studying. I have
a big oral examination coming up in the next few weeks and I have
promised myself that I will not be doing any coding till after the exam
is done.

The changes sound excellent. I will incorporate them into the tree as
soon as I get back.

I do not think we want to remove duplicates. After all, how do we know
that $VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/packages/amsmath.vim is the same as
$VIM/ftplugin/latex-suite/packages/amsmath.vim? Hmmm... Maybe have
a single menu item for amsmath but source every
ftplugin/latex-suite/packages/packages.vim in the runtimepath... just
a simple:
    runtime! ftplugin/latex-suite/amsmath.vim

I thought we had decided on the CamelCase convention for function names.
Could you please follow the convention as well? I am kinda anal about
being consistent :) Please!

Let me recap:

1. Code according to the following modeline:
    vim:noet:sw=4:ts=4

2. Follow CamelCase for function names, variable names etc.

3. Function names should be verbs. For example, if Tex_file_rtp() is
   supposed to find a file in 'rtp', use Tex_FindInRTP() instead of
   Tex_file_rtp().

4. Variable names should be nouns as far as possible.

Anyway, please try to maintain this convention...

Hmm. I think you are right here. I will do it another way:

for package files add common plugin header (if exists() finish etc.) and source them if repeated as regular runtime files are treated.

for templates/macros :read in only first entry. Sourcing last has no sense. Files in $HOME obviously should have priority.

dictionaries: add all dictionaries with asked name.

This function is nice but requires iterating through list of files which is sloooow in VimL.

Thanks. I will look into it.
