More up to date vim repo

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2372 / 3 Years ago, mon, september 27, 2021, 1:35:50

The vim I currently have installed is version 7.3.547, however I need at least version 7.3.584. I cannot find a repo for a more up to date version.

Does one exist or must I build vim myself?

If you look on the Debian site for vim with parameters 'Distribution = any' and 'Version = main', you will see that there's a package: vim (2:7.3.923-1 and others). It's in the software distribution called sid - the 'unstable' version, containing initially uploaded packages.

So you can add sid to your repository sources.

But... that is a bad idea. Why? See this post on Askubuntu.com about adding Debian Sid as a package repository.
