Hi

On Debian out of the box the ruby indenting is a little poor with it  
seeming to much prefer braces rather than 'end’ed blocks.

Are people using [http://vim-ruby.rubyforge.org/](http://vim-ruby.rubyforge.org/) (says 2003 for last  
update?) or anything else in vim?

have fun,

If you have Rubygems, you should be able to do:

$ su -c ‘gem install vim-ruby’  
… password etc …

$ vim-ruby-install

This should give you the latest versions of the vim-ruby, which looks  
like late 2005, rather than 2003. Vim includes these as standard I  
think, but you should definitely keep them up to date.

You can also download the archives and unpack it yourself, then run  
vim-ruby-install for the same effect. I’m just lazy.
