[solved]Can't find packages in ABS tree (e.g. gvim-python3)

Hello,

let's start with a related, but not main question. I have problem with my lua version and installation of vim - neocomplete doesn't work in neovim and the reason is probably the fact that my lua version differs from the version it was compiled in official arch version. Can I find with what version of lua was the current build of vim build? Or is it all the time the most current one (are packages automatically rebuilded, when their dependency change)?

I then wanted to uninstall related vim packages and build gvim-python3 on my own (because it adds all nice compiler flags I want). I enabled extra, community and core repos in /etc/abs.conf and run "abs" as a root to sync packages. Unfortunately, when I go to /var/abs/extra/ I can't package called "gvim-python3" even though "pacman -Si gvim-python3" shows it should be in extra and this supports it: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … m-python3/ . Where can I find it?

Split package. Look it up on the package page and you'll find the main package.

EDIT: I meant to say you need to navigate to the source file viewer on the package page, it always points to the source files of the main package.

So downloading vim and gvim which is written under "Provides" on package size and then using these for building the package https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ckages/vim ?

Is this thing about split packages written on the wiki? I haven't found it on the ABS page.
