Public bug reported: In several stable releases of Ubuntu, Vim has information regarding releases that are outdated. It would be optimal for Vim to grab this data from distro-info-data (or similar), but unfortunately that is not the case. Therefore, the list needs to be updated.
There is a minimal regression potential here; Vim simply reads a statically-set Perl array to determine if the release in the changelog is supported or not. Any regression would present itself in external tooling that detects text highlighting, which is not a case I think we support in Ubuntu. A simple way to test this update is to download a package from the Lunar archive, and open the changelog with Vim. Instead of the changelog release (e.g. "lunar") showing as red, it should show as blue. ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu Kinetic) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu Lunar) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) Status: Fix Committed ** Also affects: vim (Ubuntu Kinetic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vim (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vim (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vim (Ubuntu Lunar) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Lunar) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Lunar) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Kinetic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Jammy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Kinetic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu Lunar) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1996087 Title: Ensure supported codenames are accurate Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in vim source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in vim source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in vim source package in Kinetic: Confirmed Status in vim source package in Lunar: Fix Committed Bug description: In several stable releases of Ubuntu, Vim has information regarding releases that are outdated.
