Orphaning vim-syntastic, replacing with vim-ale
Hello, I'm orphaning the vim-syntastic package as I no longer use that
(I switched to vim-ale a few months back). Feel free to pick that package,
if you happen to use it and you can not migrate - but upstream of syntastic
recommends the migration: https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic/issues/2288
A typical bugreport there looks like rhbz#1834153 or rhbz#1955850. The
packaging approach was kind of unsuccessful experiment (many
language-specific sub-packages depending on existing syntax checkers).
Perhaps, if anyone interested, that approach should be changed [see below].
I also observed there's a long-term issue in Fedora with excluding noarch
sub-packages. By example, thing is that some language analyzers aren't
available on all Fedora architectures - but if some sub-package run-time
depends on such package - maintainer naturally wants to arch-exclude such
(noarch) sub-package from composes. But there currently isn't a nice way
to do this. https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora/issue/87
For vim-ale, I decided to go with simpler approach - where each user is
responsible for manually installing the backend syntax checkers.
Therefore, when vim-ale in installed, a complete set of vim configuration
(for all language checkers) is installed. Vim-ale review request goes here:
