[Vim-latex-devel] System wide install

[Bjorge S. <bjo...@it...>]

Hi,

I want to install this on student linux labs where many students log in.
They should not have to do anything to get it (like installing stuff in
their home dir). Is this possible? I prefer putting things in separate
locations, but can also script changes in existing files if this is
necessary, but I do not wish to alter the files in the home dirs. I use
profile.d-skripts to set environment variables and aliases if this is
necessary.

Kindly regards

You can install vim-latex in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/ instead of ~/.vim. 
Btw. which distribution do you use? Maybe vim-latex is already packaged for 
it.

So, putting all the files in .../vimfiles is ok, but what about the
settings?:
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/recommended-settings.html
Is it possible to put them in a system file too?

I'm using fedora 10.

/etc/vimrc is the system wide ~/.vimrc.

That's good! You can also test this rpm package with the current svn contents 
if you want:
http://till.fedorapeople.org/review/vim-latex-1.5-2.20090402.fc10.noarch.rpm

sha256 checksum:
28fce167c9e9256439283cda19cc40704b75bcb5356038e225d221792143daf4  vim-
latex-1.5-2.20090402.fc10.noarch.rpm

Eventually vim-latex will also be directly available in Fedora.

Great! Installed.

But you do not change this in the rpm. Do I have to do additional
editing of /etc/vimrc (or ~/.vimrc)?

I agree that manpages would or a useful output with --help would be nice, but 
I do not know, what the scripts are good for. I will try to find this out in 
the near future. :-) But they are included in the vim-latex SVN repository.

Yes, I intended to not do this within the rpm, because the rpm was created for 
Fedora in general.
