+.TH "VIM.ECLASS" "5" "Jun 2003" "Portage 2.0.51" "portage"
+.SH "NAME"
+vim.eclass \- common build routines for vim-core, vim and gvim
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The \fBvim\fR eclass contains a suite of functions that are used to
+build \fBvim-core\fR, \fBvim\fR and \fBgvim\fR.  The vim-core ebuild
+contains the common files installed in /usr/share/vim, /usr/share/doc
+and /etc/vim, as well as the binaries xxd and vimtutor.  The vim
+ebuild contains the terminal-based version of vim.  The gvim ebuild
+contains the graphical version of vim.  All three of these are built
+from common source, common patches and using mostly-common configure
+options.
+.P
+There are no functions to define in an ebuild using \fBvim.eclass\fR
+because the eclass does all the unpacking, compilation and
+installation.
+.SH "VARIABLES"
+.TP
+.B VIM_VERSION = \fI"version string"\fR
+This variable is important because the ebuild version (for example
+6.2_pre5) corresponds to a vim version (for example 6.2e) but there is
+no way to make that jump without help from the ebuild author.
+Historically there was a method in the vim.eclass to calculate the vim
+version from the ebuild version, but that meant that the ebuild author
+had to make sure the ebuild was correctly versioned each time.  To
+avoid that headache, it became easier to simply specify
+\fBVIM_VERSION\fR in the ebuild itself.
+.TP
+.B VIM_GENTOO_PATCHES = \fI"filename"\fR
+The filename of the Gentoo patches to apply.  It's not always
+necessary to update the Gentoo patches for a new version of vim,
+so this variable separates the ebuild and vim versions from the patch
+tarball version.  Take a look at
+\fBvim-6.2.011-gentoo-patches.tar.bz2\fR
+for an example of the patch directory layout.
+.TP
+.B VIM_ORG_PATCHES = \fI"filename"\fR
+The filename of the vim patches to apply.  This is a tarball of
+patches from \fBftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/\fR which apply to
+the current version.  See \fBvim-6.2.011-patches.tar.bz2\fR for an
+example of the vim.org patch tarballs.
