1. Every time perl, python or ruby are upgraded or revision bumped, vim needs to be brew reinstall 'd. It's a known issue. This would be a known issue even against the system Perl if Apple ever gets round to implementing another major Perl update. Liuchengxu mentioned this issue on Nov 24, 2017.
2. To update all available packages, you can run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade However, you may not get the latest version of Vim with APT (you'll moszt likely the latest major version, but not the minor /.

There are two ways (using Linux) to install Vim 8: Using the unofficial PPA: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim; sudo apt update; sudo apt install vim; 2. Download the latest version from the official website and build it on your own. For Mac Os users, brew upgrade vim should be enough.

brew tap adds more repositories to the list of formulae that brew tracks, updates,and installs from. By default, tap assumes that the repositories come from GitHub,but the command isn’t limited to any one location.

The brew tap command

• brew tap without arguments lists the currently tapped repositories. Forexample:

• brew tap <user/repo> makes a clone of the repository athttps://github.com/user/homebrew-repo. After that, brew will be able to work onthose formulae as if they were in Homebrew’s canonical repository. You caninstall and uninstall them with brew [un]install, and the formulae areautomatically updated when you run brew update. (See below for detailsabout how brew tap handles the names of repositories.)

• brew tap <user/repo> <URL> makes a clone of the repository at URL.Unlike the one-argument version, URL is not assumed to be GitHub, and itdoesn’t have to be HTTP. Any location and any protocol that Git can handle isfine.

• brew tap --repair migrates tapped formulae from a symlink-based todirectory-based structure. (This should only need to be run once.)

• brew untap user/repo [user/repo user/repo ...] removes the given taps. Therepositories are deleted and brew will no longer be aware of their formulae.brew untap can handle multiple removals at once.

Repository naming conventions and assumptions

• On GitHub, your repository must be named homebrew-something in order to usethe one-argument form of brew tap. The prefix ‘homebrew-‘ is not optional.(The two-argument form doesn’t have this limitation, but it forces you togive the full URL explicitly.)

• When you use brew tap on the command line, however, you can leave out the‘homebrew-‘ prefix in commands.

  That is, brew tap username/foobar can be used as a shortcut for the longversion: brew tap username/homebrew-foobar. brew will automatically addback the ‘homebrew-‘ prefix whenever it’s necessary.

Formula with duplicate names

If your tap contains a formula that is also present inhomebrew/core, that’s fine,but it means that you must install it explicitly by default.

Whenever a brew install foo command is issued, brew will find which formulato use by searching in the following order:

• core formulae
• other taps

If you need a formula to be installed from a particular tap, you can use fullyqualified names to refer to them.

You can create a tap for an alternative vim formula. The behaviour will be:

As a result, we recommend you give formulae a different name if you want to makethem easier to install. Note that there is (intentionally) no way of replacingdependencies of core formulae with those from taps.
