Feature Request: Automatic update for plugins hosted on vim.org #11

Closed talek closed 14 years ago

talek commented 14 years ago

I noticed that the downloaded plugins have a version file. As far as I know every script hosted on vim.org has also a unique ID and every new version has also a new ID which is supposed to be greater than the previous one. The vast majority of plugins are hosted on vim.org and do not have any SCM in place therefore I think an update mechanism for them would be just lovely. I know there are some plugins which have this vim.org update implemented, but I like vim-addon-manager and I'd like to stick with it.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

The current supported way of updating www.vim.org plugins is removing and reinstalling them. Howver there is some old code - Do you want to provide an implementation? Thinks to keep in mind: users may have changed lines - so creating a diff would be nice

I didn't have enough time to digg into the vim-addon-manager code, but providing an implementation for this sounds like a good idea.

This issue has been fixed 46cdb93fab3478f77f06. Also now there are scm mirrors. See documentation. If users request installing plugins by scm I'll implement it

Great! Thanks a lot!

Closing because updating scripts from www.vim.org has been implemented
