This is a very simple module to manage Vim. It manages the packages, the .vimrc configuration file and populates a few syntax files for Puppet. This is meant to make vim useful on servers with some basic, sane settings. It is not meant to manage a developer's workstation where you would be managing a ton of plugins and configuration.

Documented with Puppet Strings at http://ghoneycutt.github.io/puppet-module-vim/.

This module manages the /root/.vimrc file and /root/.vim directory, which gets some plugins installed. It also manages the related vim packages for the platform.

Declare the vim class.

The normal use case.

include vim

To specify the package list.

class { 'vim':
  package_list => ['vim', 'vim-whatever'],
}

This module officially supports the platforms listed in the metadata.json. It does not fail on unsupported platforms and has been known to work on many, many platforms since its creation in 2010.
