Created attachment 916957 [details] A slightly more complete filetype.vim than the one described in the bug description. Description of problem: I added a directory to my RUNTIMEPATH but vim ignores the change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.4.179 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a directory to RUNTIMEPATH by appending the line 'set runtimepath+=~/programs/vim' to ~/.vimrc. The directory ~/programs/vim should already exist. You can use any directory that is not already in RUNTIMEPATH. 2. Create a file named filetype.vim in the additional RUNTIMEPATH directory. 3. In the new file filetype.vim, insert the following lines: augroup autodetect au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.ish setfiletype perl augroup END 4. Run 'vim any.ish' from a shell command line. 5. Type ':echo &filetype' in vim. Actual results: on Expected results: perl Additional info: I suspect this problem is caused by the somewhat out-of-date version of vim on Fedora 20, 7.4.179. On a BSD system that I use which has vim 7.4.205, the problem does not occur. Could a more recent version of vim be made available for Fedora 20 via yum update? There are work-arounds with vim 7.4.179, but I prefer a clean solution.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
