Vim for Debian
---------------

1. The current Debian Vim scripts policy can be found in the vim-doc package
   under /usr/share/doc/vim-common and
   <http://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/>.

2. Before reporting bugs, check if the bug also exists if you run vim
   with "vim -u NONE -U NONE". If not, make sure that the "bug" is not
   a result of a setting in your ~/.vimrc before reporting it.

MzScheme Vim variant
--------------------

As requested by the current MzScheme maintainer (Ari Pollak <ari@debian.org>),
a vim-mzscheme variant is not being built.  The reasons stated are as follows:

  1) MzScheme does not build on many of Debian's supported architectures.

  2) The MzScheme package is not versioned based on the library.

  3) The MzScheme ABI changes with every upstream version.

Modeline support disabled by default
------------------------------------

Modelines have historically been a source of security/resource vulnerabilities
and are therefore disabled by default in $VIMRUNTIME/debian.vim.

You can enable them in ~/.vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc with "set modeline".

In order to mimic Vim's default setting (modelines disabled when root, enabled
otherwise), you may instead want to use the following snippet:

  if $USER != 'root'
    set modeline
  else
    set nomodeline
  endif

The securemodelines script from vim.org (and in the vim-scripts package) may
also be of interest as it provides a way to whitelist exactly which options
may be set from a modeline.
