Public bug reported: I used to rely on the clientserver features of vim. But after upgrading to 16.04, it seems this is not supported anymore:
``` $ vim --version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Apr 08 2016 11:38:28) Included patches: 1-1689 Modified by pkg-vim-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Compiled by pkg-vim-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): +acl +farsi +mouse_netterm +tag_binary +arabic +file_in_path +mouse_sgr +tag_old_static +autocmd +find_in_path -mouse_sysmouse -tag_any_white -balloon_eval +float +mouse_urxvt +tcl -browse +folding +mouse_xterm +terminfo ++builtin_terms -footer +multi_byte +termresponse +byte_offset +fork() +multi_lang +textobjects +channel +gettext -mzscheme +timers +cindent -hangul_input +netbeans_intg +title -clientserver +iconv +packages -toolbar ... ``` Is it deliberately not included any more or was it just lost as part of spring cleaning? I see that other missing features after upgrading to 16.04 are also causing trouble for others as well (especially missing python3 support). Btw, the above output is from vim-nox, as I need the python3 support which is included in -nox, but clientserver is missing from both vim and vim-nox. ** Affects: vim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577663 Title: Vim compiled without clientserver support in 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1577663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
