vim - how to deisable backups of file after edit has finished
Hi , I've noticed that vim is taking backups of files. I took a look at /usr/share/vim/vimrc to check why . How do I disable this ? Adapt /usr/share/vim/vimrc or create ~/.vimrc files for the users (and root) ? Thx ! Blokie

Add this to your ~/.vimrc : set nobackup

You could also add it to the global rc file (like many other distributions do). Is there any particular reason for disabling it by default? -- Matthias-Christian Ott

Don't take this in a bad way, but next time you post here, try to make it under the thought of the list's use. This is a CRUX mailing list and I think doubts wich aren't directly related to CRUX musn't be here. Taking a look to vim's FAQ you can see that there is a point related to backups.
Thx !

Ok , point taken. I'll follow the spirit of this list and only post issues who are crux specific and not wide unix issues. Sorry for the disturbance :) Blokkie
