I’ve been a OSX user for some time, but my main C development happens on CentOS. OSX has TextMate as editor, which has snippets : A sort of runtime macro’s on steroids. It saves lots of time with common language constructs such as loops.
Vim has a UltiSnips, but that has some preconditions : It need vim 7.3 with Python >= 2.6 compiled in. CentOS has neither of them. You can’t just upgrade Python on a CentOS machine, since lots of things (yum being one of them) depend on a specific version. So if you overwrite the default version, all hell will brake loose.
I’ve created packages for both Python and Vim (x86 and srpms), available at http://www.palsenberg.com/rpmrepo/
Happy VIMming !!!
Hi, Im trying to install from your repo:
Error: Missing Dependency: libffi.so.5 is needed by package python2.7-2.7.2-2.i386 (vim73)
in on Centos5 VPS
What do u think about it?
thanks
I’ve updated the Python RPM’s to work without libffi installed.
