Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-017+2
Severity: normal
Hi, I just upgraded vim from 6.4 to 7. I used to use vim from the
command line calling only 'vi', not 'vim'.
Now, using 'vi', it starts vim using compatible mode, which I don't want
to use. There is a /etc/vim/virc where it is said that this file is used
when vim is invoked as vi. But adding options in there such as:
set nocompatible
syntax enable
set background=dark
Doesnt work. If I run vi, then type
:set nocompatible
:syntax enable
:set background=dark
it works, so the problem is not in vim. It's like the file isn't used,
while the header says it should.
Regards,
