Handling submodule of git addons #63

Closed gabriellima closed 12 years ago

gabriellima commented 12 years ago

I searched for it in other issues, and couldn't find.

Does VAM handle submodules of addons? Could it?

Because I was trying to use pyflakes-vim addon, and found that VAM could not handle this addon's submodules.

It didn't checkout its submodules.

Something like:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Thanks in advance!

Excerpts from gabriellima's message of Thu Mar 08 22:02:16 +0100 2012:

Does VAM handle submodules of addons? Could it? We've had this case in the past and decided on not supporting it (yet).

Do you know about syntastic? It gets the same job done, but implements more cases. So give us a reason to support that plugin you're talking about.

The "submodule" in your case is only the python syntax checker - however there are many ways to install it - eg using pip. That's why its unclear when VAM should do it in that case.

You can add support for that case yourself by using the hooks interface (see documentation).

Thank you for telling me about syntastic!

It does a great job, even better than the other addon, in my opinion!

Thank you again, @MarcWeber !!
