Please make vim configuration /by default/ the real default of ubuntu,
and not that creepy wmf version. I figured out it's nearly impossible
to turn it off or override (it's possible but for example with sudo or
using service accounts it won't work, unless I upload my override to
all user accounts I use on all projects).
Why don't you make this wmf version as option for people who really
want to use it?
Instead of forcing everyone to use it
Version: unspecified
Severity: minor
As a workaround, I have replied to Petan on labs-l
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/labs-l/2013-June/001297.html
Copy of my reply:
I have my configuration files in a Github project nicknamed 'alix':
https://github.com/hashar/alix
Whenever I join a new project I would fetch it under /home/hashar/alix
then edit my .bashrc:
$ cat .bashrc
. /home/hashar/alix/bashrc
umask 0002
And my .vimrc:
source $ALIX_DIR/vimrc
"source /home/hashar/alix/vimrc
Where ALIX_DIR is set by bash using dirname:
export ALIX_DIR=$(dirname $BASH_SOURCE)
If I ever need to switch to root, I will sudo -s which keep the
current user environment such as $HOME which then let vim and bash load
MY dotfiles :)
I see it on really old instances now, but don't think this is set by default anymore.
