Package: vim
Version: 1:6.2-426+1
Severity: normal
In trying to disable the maddening C language indentation (the LPC language
also uses .c, unfortunately, and they are not the same), I found that regardless
of how many combinations of commands to disable all forms of indentation I put in
my $HOME/.vimrc file, the one that turns it on in /etc/vim/vimrc overrides me.
The ONLY way I could solve this (before my frustration level caused a keyboard
to become injured) was to move /etc/vim/vimrc aside and copy the parts I wanted
into my own .vimrc file. That worked, but is hardly optimal.
IMHO (and the author of vim as well, if reading the documentation is any indication)
the user's $HOME/.vimrc file should ALWAYS override everything else, short of
environmental variables or actual command line flags... IE: it should
be the LAST config file loaded, not the first.
