This adds a first version of a functional vim-build-system.

As explained today on IRC, and as you can guess by reading
gnu/packages/vim.scm Vim has a concept of folders and files in
standard places, but Makefiles and similar tools are an
exception. Usually you have to copy them somewhere (or use
external Vim package managers that pull the files for yoz and set
the "run time path" (rtp) for you).

There's also (to my best knowledge, keep in mind I've last read
into Vim when I did the last commits in the Vim module) no ENV
VAR or anything we could export, you have to manually set

set rtp+=~/.guix-profile/share/vim/vimfiles/

in your $home/.vimrc

The build system comes with a FIXME note, but it works. I'm in
the middle of tests and exams, so this is the best I can correct
from my earlier attempt in '17 on this. What I can apply are
changes and adjustments to what I submit now.

4 Patches attached, 3 of them are for proof of work.

As you can see on https://bugs.gnu.org/guix-patches, this is not the
only patch waiting for review.

All I can suggest is being patient, I’m sure everyone is doing their
best. :-)

Thanks,

Thank you.

Sorry for the delay. I just went through this but found a couple of
defects.

I fixed the regular expressions in %default-exclude, removed unused
module imports, and fixed minor indentation problems, but then I noticed
a few more fundamental problems.

* %default-exclude is not used. The “install” phase unconditionally
installs everything

* The build system does not support an #:exclude argument that would
allow a user to override the behaviour. (Compare this to the
ant-build-system, which supports excluding tests, for example.)

* The build system allows users to specify a test-target and disable
tests (they default to #t), but there is no check phase anyway. It
also supports configure-flags, but it would not use them.

Attached is the patch with my minor changes.

Could you please send an updated patch where these problems are
addressed?

Thanks!

This is marked as moreinfo since 2018. After reading the thread, I am
closing because Vim users do not seem to manifest an interest for having
vim-build-system.

If I misread something, feel free to reopen. It appears to me better to
still keep close this one, and send a fresh set of patches to review.

Cheers,
simon

We do pretty well with the copy-build-system, with the occasional extra
phase(s).

But the help tags files (`:help helptags`) are not generated when using
the copy-build-system. Help tag files should be generated during the
build phase for Vim plugins, because the user cannot generate help tags
after plugin installation. The user does not have permission to modify
anything in ~/.guix-profile/share/vim/vimfiles/, so `:helptags
~/.guix-profile/share/vim/vimfiles/` will fail.

I'm a bit rusty on the help tags. I thought they would all clober each
other if they were built during the package building, since they all
have the same name and we can only install one, but if we built them as
a profile hook then they'd all be able to co-exist.

Thoughts?
