Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
vim's syntax highlighting for crontabs breaks if a day or month name is
specified with a capital letter, e.g:
* * * * Mon-Fri mycommand
However, cron seems to treat these values as case-insensitive. The
attached patch fixes this by adding "syntax case ignore" before the
syntax.
Conversely, the @foo special time specifiers (e.g. "@reboot", "@hourly")
ARE case-sensitive. The patch also defines the syntax so that the
incorrect case is displayed as an error, with the correct case displayed
as before.
