2. Vimball Introduction *vimball-intro*
|
|
|
|
Vimball is intended to make life simpler for users of plugins. All
|
|
a user needs to do with a vimball is: >
|
|
vim someplugin.vba
|
|
:so %
|
|
:q
|
|
< and the plugin and all its components will be installed into their
|
|
appropriate directories. Note that one doesn't need to be in any
|
|
particular directory when one does this. Plus, any help for the
|
|
plugin will also be automatically installed.
|
|
|
|
If a user has decided to use the AsNeeded plugin, vimball is smart
|
|
enough to put scripts nominally intended for .vim/plugin/ into
|
|
.vim/AsNeeded/ instead.
|
|
|
|
Removing a plugin that was installed with vimball is really easy: >
|
|
vim
|
|
:RmVimball someplugin
|
|
< This operation is not at all easy for zips and tarballs, for example.
|
|
|
|
Vimball examines the user's |'runtimepath'| to determine where to put
|
|
the scripts. The first directory mentioned on the runtimepath is
|
|
usually used if possible. Use >
|
|
:echo &rtp
|
|
< to see that directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
3. Vimball Manual *vimball-manual*
|
|
|
|
MAKING A VIMBALL *:MkVimball*
|
|
:[range]MkVimball[!] filename [path]
|
|
|
|
The range is composed of lines holding paths to files to be included
|
|
in your new vimball, omitting the portion of the paths that is
|
|
normally specified by the runtimepath (|'rtp'|). As an example: >
|
|
plugin/something.vim
|
|
doc/something.txt
|
|
< using >
|
|
:[range]MkVimball filename
|
|
<
|
|
on this range of lines will create a file called "filename.vba" which
|
|
can be used by Vimball.vim to re-create these files. If the
|
|
"filename.vba" file already exists, then MkVimball will issue a
|
|
warning and not create the file. Note that these paths are relative
|
|
to your .vim (vimfiles) directory, and the files should be in that
|
|
directory. The vimball plugin normally uses the first |'runtimepath'|
|
|
directory that exists as a prefix; don't use absolute paths, unless
|
|
the user has specified such a path.
|
|
|
|
If you use the exclamation point (!), then MkVimball will create the
|
|
"filename.vba" file, overwriting it if it already exists. This
|
|
behavior resembles that for |:w|.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to force slashes into the filename, that can also be done
|
|
by using the exclamation mark (ie. :MkVimball! path/filename).
|
|
|
|
The tip at http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_VimBall_with_%27Make%27
|
|
has a good idea on how to automate the production of vimballs using
|
|
make.
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAKING DIRECTORIES VIA VIMBALLS *g:vimball_mkdir*
|
|
|
|
First, the |mkdir()| command is tried (not all systems support it).
|
|
|
|
If it doesn't exist, then if g:vimball_mkdir doesn't exist, it is set
|
|
as follows: >
|
|
|g:netrw_local_mkdir|, if it exists
|
|
"mkdir" , if it is executable
|
|
"makedir" , if it is executable
|
|
Otherwise , it is undefined.
|
|
< One may explicitly specify the directory making command using
|
|
g:vimball_mkdir. This command is used to make directories that
|
|
are needed as indicated by the vimball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONTROLLING THE VIMBALL EXTRACTION DIRECTORY *g:vimball_home*
|
|
|
|
You may override the use of the |'runtimepath'| by specifying a
|
|
variable, g:vimball_home.
|
|
|
|
*vimball-extract*
|
|
vim filename.vba
|
|
|
|
Simply editing a Vimball will cause Vimball.vim to tell the user to
|
|
source the file to extract its contents.
|
|
|
|
Extraction will only proceed if the first line of a putative vimball
|
|
file holds the "Vimball Archiver by Charles E. Campbell, Jr., Ph.D."
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
LISTING FILES IN A VIMBALL *:VimballList*
|
|
|
|
:VimballList
|
|
|
|
This command will tell Vimball to list the files in the archive, along
|
|
with their lengths in lines.
|
|
|
|
MANUALLY INVOKING VIMBALL EXTRACTION *:UseVimball*
|
|
|
|
:UseVimball [path]
|
|
|
|
This command is contained within the vimball itself; it invokes the
|
|
vimball#Vimball() routine which is responsible for unpacking the
|
|
vimball. One may choose to execute it by hand instead of sourcing
|
|
the vimball; one may also choose to specify a path for the
|
|
installation, thereby overriding the automatic choice of the first
|
|
existing directory on the |'runtimepath'|.
|
|
|
|
REMOVING A VIMBALL *:RmVimball*
|
|
|
|
:RmVimball vimballfile [path]
|
|
|
|
This command removes all files generated by the specified vimball
|
|
(but not any directories it may have made). One may choose a path
|
|
for de-installation, too (see |'runtimepath'|); otherwise, the
|
|
default is the first existing directory on the |'runtimepath'|.
|
|
To implement this, a file (.VimballRecord) is made in that directory
|
|
containing a record of what files need to be removed for all vimballs
|
|
used thus far.
|
|
|
|
PREVENTING LOADING
|
|
|
|
If for some reason you don't want to be able to extract plugins
|
|
using vimballs: you may prevent the loading of vimball.vim by
|
|
putting the following two variables in your <.vimrc>: >
|
|
|
|
let g:loaded_vimballPlugin= 1
|
|
let g:loaded_vimball = 1
|
|
<
|
|
WINDOWS *vimball-windows*
|
|
|
|
Many vimball files are compressed with gzip. Windows, unfortunately,
|
|
does not come provided with a tool to decompress gzip'ped files.
|
|
Fortunately, there are a number of tools available for Windows users
|
|
to un-gzip files:

4. Vimball History *vimball-history* {{{1
|
|
|
|
34 : Sep 22, 2011 * "UseVimball path" now supports a non-full path by
|
|
prepending the current directory to it.
|
|
33 : Apr 02, 2011 * Gave priority to *.vmb over *.vba
|
|
* Changed silent! to sil! (shorter)
|
|
* Safed |'swf'| setting (during vimball extraction,
|
|
its now turned off)
|
|
32 : May 19, 2010 * (Christian Brabandt) :so someplugin.vba and
|
|
:so someplugin.vba.gz (and the other supported
|
|
compression types) now works
|
|
* (Jan Steffens) added support for xz compression
|
|
* fenc extraction was erroneously picking up the
|
|
end of the line number when no file encoding
|
|
was present. Fixed.
|
|
* By request, beginning the switchover from the vba
|
|
extension to vmb. Currently both are supported;
|
|
MkVimball, however, now will create *.vmb files.
|
|
Feb 11, 2011 * motoyakurotsu reported an error with vimball's
|
|
handling of zero-length files
|
|
30 : Dec 08, 2008 * fnameescape() inserted to protect error
|
|
messaging using corrupted filenames from
|
|
causing problems
|
|
* RmVimball supports filenames that would
|
|
otherwise be considered to have "magic"
|
|
characters (ie. Abc[1].vba)
|
|
Feb 18, 2009 * s:Escape(), g:vimball_shq, and g:netrw_shq
|
|
removed (shellescape() used directly)
|
|
Oct 05, 2009 * (Nikolai Weibull) suggested that MkVimball
|
|
be allowed to use slashes in the filename.
|
|
26 : May 27, 2008 * g:vimball_mkdir usage installed. Makes the
|
|
$HOME/.vim (or $HOME\vimfiles) directory if
|
|
necessary.
|
|
May 30, 2008 * (tnx to Bill McCarthy) found and fixed a bug:
|
|
vimball wasn't updating plugins to AsNeeded/
|
|
when it should
|
|
25 : Mar 24, 2008 * changed vimball#Vimball() to recognize doc/*.??x
|
|
files as help files, too.
|
|
Apr 18, 2008 * RmVimball command is now protected by saving and
|
|
restoring settings -- in particular, acd was
|
|
causing problems as reported by Zhang Shuhan
|
|
24 : Nov 15, 2007 * g:vimball_path_escape used by s:Path() to
|
|
prevent certain characters from causing trouble
|
|
(defunct: |fnameescape()| and |shellescape()|
|
|
now used instead)
|
|
22 : Mar 21, 2007 * uses setlocal instead of set during BufEnter
|
|
21 : Nov 27, 2006 * (tnx to Bill McCarthy) vimball had a header
|
|
handling problem and it now changes \s to /s
|
|
20 : Nov 20, 2006 * substitute() calls have all had the 'e' flag
|
|
removed.
|
|
18 : Aug 01, 2006 * vimballs now use folding to easily display their
|
|
contents.
|
|
* if a user has AsNeeded/somefile, then vimball
|
|
will extract plugin/somefile to the AsNeeded/
|
|
directory
|
|
17 : Jun 28, 2006 * changes all \s to /s internally for Windows
|
|
16 : Jun 15, 2006 * A. Mechelynck's idea to allow users to specify
|
|
installation root paths implemented for
|
|
UseVimball, MkVimball, and RmVimball.
|
|
* RmVimball implemented
|
|
15 : Jun 13, 2006 * bugfix
|
|
14 : May 26, 2006 * bugfixes
|
|
13 : May 01, 2006 * exists("&acd") used to determine if the acd
|
|
option exists
|
|
12 : May 01, 2006 * bugfix - the |'acd'| option is not always defined
|
|
11 : Apr 27, 2006 * VimballList would create missing subdirectories that
|
|
the vimball specified were needed. Fixed.
|
|
10 : Apr 27, 2006 * moved all setting saving/restoration to a pair of
|
|
functions. Included some more settings in them
|
|
which frequently cause trouble.
|
|
9 : Apr 26, 2006 * various changes to support Windows' predilection
|
|
for backslashes and spaces in file and directory
|
|
names.
|
|
7 : Apr 25, 2006 * bypasses foldenable
|
|
* uses more exe and less norm! (:yank :put etc)
|
|
* does better at insuring a "Press ENTER" prompt
|
|
appears to keep its messages visible
|
|
4 : Mar 31, 2006 * BufReadPost seems to fire twice; BufReadEnter
|
|
only fires once, so the "Source this file..."
|
|
message is now issued only once.
|
|
3 : Mar 20, 2006 * removed query, now requires sourcing to be
|
|
extracted (:so %). Message to that effect
|
|
included.
|
|
* :VimballList now shows files that would be
|
|
extracted.
|
|
