Vimana ====== Vimana is an easy to use system for searching, installing, and downloading vim script. Vimana provides a command-line interface such like aptitude program on Debian linux, for you to search, download, install, upgrade scripts from (vim online site). Vimana can install a vim script package to your vim runtime path automatically by inspecting the content of archive file or vim script. for example, if an archive file contains 'syntax', 'plugin', 'indent' directory, then these files should be installed to ~/.vim/ directory. if it is a vim color scheme, then it should be put into ~/.vim/colors/ and prompt for setting the installed colorscheme as default. Rakefile, makefile, vim meta and vimball installation are supported. For scripts have their own docs, Vimana will try to update helptags after the installations. You can also write your own vim meta file (by VIM::Packager) or Makefile, Rakefile for installer. if you use either Makefile or Rakefile, you should make the installatino record by yourself, to support uninstallation. (In some modern Indian languages, vimāna or vimān means "aircraft".) NOTE: Vimana only provides search, info, and install commmands currently.
