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.

Hi, now Im retrying to install vim with your rpm’s but still I cannot install anything:
whatever I try to install give me back:
Failed dependencies:
libpython2.7.so.1.0 is needed by python2.7-2.7.2-3.i386
python2.7 = 2.7.2-3 is needed by python2.7-libs-2.7.2-3.i386
Where do I have to start to install these packages and have a working Vim with Python support?
thanks!
that was a dumb question,
I switched on my brain and solved by simply rpm both package in a single command.
thanks for your work,
u saved me a lot of time not rebuilding vim from scratch once again.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for providing the repo!
However, I think it’s the time to upgrade python-2.7.2 to 2.7.3 now
As for python-2.7.3, I think this URL would be of great help:
http://bugs.python.org/issue14572
I’ll update those RPM’s today.
