Hello,
I have been using Tumbleweed for several years now, convinced that
"Any user who wishes to have the newest packages that include, but are not limited to, the Linux kernel, ... and many other packages, will want Tumbleweed." (from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory )
It seems, however, that the vim-plugin-latex package included in the distribution (as well as in Leap) is quite outdated: Yast reports 20120125-39.6, so more than nine years old (?) although the Change Log in Yast shows some later changes, the newest being the line:
Mon 11 Nov 2019 13:00:00 CET Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.com> - Update vim-plugin-fugitive to upstream version 3.1
In fact, some features introduced 6 years appear to be missing in the package within the distribution, namely the Python support,
https://github.com/vim-latex/vim-latex/blame/master/ftplugin/latex-suite/mai...
Consequently, the plugin implements wrongly some important functionality, such as multiple compilation (see, e.g., ":help compiling-multiple" within vim or gvim).
This is perhaps a simple omission to include a newer version into the distro, or may this be an intention...?
Anyway, I would like to point at this obsolete package, hoping the latest version can be included into the distribution update.
We always update when we can, but looks like vim-plugins is horribly outdated anyway. Maybe it'd make sense to create a standalone vim-latex package conflict with vim-plugins. Eventually, maybe we could drop vim-plugins completely. Regards, ismail
