[Bug 1996087] Re: Ensure supported codenames are accurate

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Simon, or anyone else affected,

Accepted vim into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  In several stable releases of Ubuntu, Vim has information regarding
  releases that are outdated. It would be optimal for Vim to grab this
  data from distro-info-data (or similar), but unfortunately that is not
  the case. Therefore, the list needs to be updated.

  There is a minimal regression potential here; Vim simply reads a
  statically-set Perl array to determine if the release in the changelog
  and sources.list is supported or not. Any regression would present
  itself in external tooling that detects text highlighting, which is
  not a case I think we support in Ubuntu.

  A simple way to test this update is to download a package from the
  Lunar archive, and open the changelog with Vim. Instead of the
  changelog release (e.g. "lunar") showing as red, it should show as
  blue. I would also suggest editing sources.list, to ensure e.g. Eoan
  shows as EOL.
