So new install notes
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.ghettoforge.org/distributions/gf/gf-release-latest.gf.el7.noarch.rpm rpm --import http://mirror.ghettoforge.org/distributions/gf/RPM-GPG-KEY-gf.el7 yum -y remove vim-minimal vim-common vim-enhanced sudo yum -y --enablerepo=gf-plus install vim-enhanced sudo
Notice that you must perform this instructions sequentially under sudo su or as a single bash script.
Otherwise, you would occasionally uninstall sudo.
rm /etc/yum.repos.d/mcepl-vim8-epel-7.repo
Thanks everyone for the discovery and feedback - I have added an update to the gist to fix the issue that the old repository listing is no longer available.
Notable mention goes to @dmakushin
Thank you! The compilation instructions continue to work on vim 8.2. & Centos 7
Great resource.
with a few changes I think this also work for configuring the build and install step (my python setup is different)
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-features=huge --enable-multibyte --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib64/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu/ --enable-pythoninterp=yes
Important to mention that vim --version will still return the old version (7.4 in my case) even after upgrading (I've only tried Method 2, compiling from source), which is very confusing, especially if you try to do this through a script and check the version.
In order to see the correct version, you should log out and log back in.
dnf copr enable hnakamur/vim
dnf install vimvim --version -> 8.1.2300-1.el7
Thanks https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hnakamur/vim/
