Public bug reported: Please backport vim 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2 (main) from saucy to precise, quantal, raring.
Reason for the backport: ======================== This editor is one of several main tools for many developers. Having the latest version available on the LTS would be very helpful. Per the release announcement "more than a thousand bugs and small improvements" have been fixed since 7.3. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_announce/knOQ_t_H5to I used dget with pbuilder to try a test build of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vim/vim_7.4.000-1ubuntu2.dsc but problems exist for precise such as Build-Conflicts: ruby1.8 Packages for quantal and raring are available in at least the ppa of cjohnston. Testing: ======== Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing. You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage: $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d precise vim $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d quantal vim $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s saucy -d raring vim * precise: [ ] Package builds without modification [ ] vim-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gnome installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-lesstif installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-athena installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gtk installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gui-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-doc installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-tiny installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-runtime installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-nox installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-dbg installs cleanly and runs * quantal: [ ] Package builds without modification [ ] vim-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gnome installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-lesstif installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-athena installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gtk installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gui-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-doc installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-tiny installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-runtime installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-nox installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-dbg installs cleanly and runs * raring: [ ] Package builds without modification [ ] vim-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gnome installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-lesstif installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-athena installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gtk installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-gui-common installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-doc installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-tiny installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-runtime installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-nox installs cleanly and runs [ ] vim-dbg installs cleanly and runs Reverse dependencies: ===================== The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of vim.

For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new vim installed.
