  • Vim PPAs on Launchpad.net are long gone

    From rj@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 16 12:41:45 2024
    For several years I've used the Vim-daily PPA on launchpad.net to get
    pre-built updated versions, which I use on Ubuntu. This past year the maintainer of those PPAs died and the PPAs are gone. There are no other
    Vim PAs on launchpad.

    Would anyone know of another place, or repository, where one might get
    regular updated versions, without having to compile Vim one's self?

    Compįling always has gotchas, hoops to jump through, but I (or anyone
    wanting to keep Vim updated) may not have a choice at this point.

    Multiply that by a few thousand, and it gives you an appreciation for what distro maintainers have to go through ...
