Vim: Recommendations for vimball plugins in pathogen

Vim

Vim Problem Overview


I plan to switch to vim 7.3 in the next days on my windows box - linux will soon follow. I also plan to switch my vim setup and let pathogen handle my plugins. I've googled but not yet found a solution how to handle plugins using vimball technique for setup. Any hints?

Solution 1 - Vim

You are looking for :UseVimball [path]

Open the vimball up with vim. Instead of sourcing it with :so % do

$ vim somthing.vba
:!mkdir ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here
:UseVimball ~/.vim/bundle/bundle-dir-name-here

Note you will have to make sure the path exists before you execute this command.

:h :UseVimball

Solution 2 - Vim

You can try vim-addon-manager: it is able to put every plugin in a separate directory and correctly handles Vimball.
