Description Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca 2018-02-23 21:26:20 UTC 
As many other sw do, vim could use a config directory.

It is just a matter of including those lines in /etc/vimrc

for rcfile in split(globpath("/etc/vim.d/", "*.vim"), '\n')
    execute('source '.rcfile)
endfor

Same problem here.

I want do deliver a system wide configuration which will not be altered by system updates.

The man page of vim says that the system wide vim initialization is on /usr/share/vim/vimrc but a echo "set nu" >> /usr/share/vim/vimrc doesn't change anything.

The only file I found is on /etc/vimrc but it looks like that this file is delivered by suse and I am not sure what happens with changes in this file when it comes to system updates.

In my opinion a clean solution should result in a configuration file which belongs to the distributor, one file which describes system wide settings and the files in the users home directory.
