Hello,

I am trying to package conqueterm, a plugin that can be used to invoke
shell from within vim.

The plugin source tree contains a directory called autoload, when the
contents of this directory are place in
/usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/autoload, the plugin is functional.
Else
i get the following error
"E117:Unknownfunction:conque_term#open"

My questions are
(a) Since vimcurrent is a symlink, how should the package handle updates,etc.
(b) If placing files in vimcurrent is a no-no, how should this be handled ??
(c) If this is done with postinstall or preinstall script magic,
should my package predepend on vim or vim-gtk ??
(d) How can i make sure that stale files are not left behind in
/usr/share/vim/vimXY


Regards,
Harish
