Vim 8.0 packages?

[drozzy]

Do you guys support the new vim 8.0 packages? Or does it not influence this at all?

[Shougo]

Vim 8.0 packages feature does not support packages installation.

Not sure what you mean, seems like you just need to create a subdirectory.

Here is a sample vim 8 package:

Or am I misunderstanding something?

From reading the release notes, it seems Vim 8 will load plugins from a plugins directory when asked. I don't really see an analogue to the instructions we currently provide. Maybe just git cone xxx? Seems like a stretch to me.

Additionally I foresee that it would be hard to message it correctly, since it will probably be awhile before a majority of users have Vim version 8.

I'm going to close this issue with the anticipation that as vim 8 makes its way into popular distros, we will want to revisit this issue.

@captbaritone vim 8 just made it to Debian Stable (Stretch) [1], Ubuntu 17.04 [2], Fedora [3], Arch Linux [4], Gentoo [5] and even Brew [6].

It seems to be a good time to reopen the issue.

1. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/vim
2. https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/vim
3. https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/vim
4. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vim/
5. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-editors/vim
6. http://brewformulas.org/Vim

The sample of how the package "installation" for vim 8 should look like - is https://github.com/fatih/vim-go#install

@idvoretskyi are you still working on a pull request to enable Vim 8 package installation instructions in the individual plugin pages? If not, do you have a private fork that you have any work on that I could pick up and run with - or should I just start from a new fork of master?

[idvoretskyi]

I just start from a new fork of master

@solter this ^. Unfortunately, I don't have enough capacity to work on this - please, pick up.

Vim9 is released in the wild... so I thought to do my customization fresh where VimAwesome is my place to be.
When searching for the Rust plugin I did see that VimAwesome has no tab at the start of the page for the default plugin solution but when you scroll down to the documentation (that is from Github I guess) the first thing is Vim8 packages.

I think my question here is related to this issue.. so that is why I did not email or open a new issue.
Is there a solution for making the top of a plugin show if it is also available for the native plugin manager?
