Vimana is an easy to use system for searching, installing, and downloading vim script.
Vimana provides a command-line interface such like aptitude program on Debian linux, for you to search, download, install, upgrade scripts from http://www.vim.org (vim online site).
Vimana can install a vim script package to your vim runtime path automatically by inspecting the content of archive file or vim script. for example, if an archive file contains 'syntax', 'plugin', 'indent' directory, then these files should be installed to ~/.vim/ directory. if it is a vim color scheme, then it should be put into ~/.vim/colors/ and prompt for setting the installed colorscheme as default.
Rakefile, makefile, vim meta and vimball installation are supported.
For scripts have their own docs, Vimana will try to update helptags after the installations.
You can also write your own vim meta file (by VIM::Packager) or Makefile, Rakefile for installer. if you use either Makefile or Rakefile, you should make the installatino record by yourself, to support uninstallation.
(In some modern Indian languages, vimāna or vimān means "aircraft".)
NOTE: Vimana only provides search, info, and install commmands currently.
For First Time CPAN Users:
Install miyagawa's cpanminus , which doesnt require any complex configurations. It's easy, clean and faster than the old CPAN shell:
$ git clone git://github.com/miyagawa/cpanminus.git
$ cd cpanminus
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make install
Or if dont have permission, you can try this way:
$ wget http://xrl.us/cpanm -O ~/bin/cpanm
$ chmod +x cpanm
Run cpanminus to install Vimana from CPAN:
$ cpanm Vimana
Or from github tarball:
$ cpanm http://github.com/c9s/Vimana/tarball/master
Or git clone from github:
$ git clone git://github.com/c9s/Vimana.git
$ cd Vimana
$ cpanm .
You can also skip tests:
$ cpanm -n http://github.com/c9s/Vimana/tarball/master
To see other cpanm options:
$ cpanm --help
For non-root permission users, cpanm will install modules into ~/perl5 directory.
so you will need to export PERL5LIB, add below line in your .bashrc or .zshrc:
export PERL5LIB=~/perl5/lib/perl5;$PERL5LIB

-
use vim runtime directory structure like this:
foo.tar.gz: plugin/foo.vim syntax/foo.vim doc/foo.txt -
add type info in your vim script file:
" script type: plugin
uppercase also available:
" Script Type: plugin
then the script will be installed into ~/.vim/plugin/.
