action needed
A new upstream version is available: 9.1.1404 high
A new upstream version 9.1.1404 is available, you should consider packaging it.

The VCS repository is not up to date, push the missing commits. high
vcswatch reports that the current version of the package is not in its VCS.
Either you need to push your commits and/or your tags, or the information about the package's VCS are out of date. A common cause of the latter issue when using the Git VCS is not specifying the correct branch when the packaging is not in the default one (remote HEAD branch), which is usually "master" but can be modified in salsa.debian.org in the project's general settings with the "Default Branch" field). Alternatively the Vcs-Git field in debian/control can contain a "-b <branch-name>" suffix to indicate what branch is used for the Debian packaging.

1 low-priority security issue in bookworm low

There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2025-29768: (needs triaging) Vim, a text editor, is vulnerable to potential data loss with zip.vim and special crafted zip files in versions prior to 9.1.1198. The impact is medium because a user must be made to view such an archive with Vim and then press 'x' on such a strange filename. The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1198.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.

testing migrations
  • This package will soon be part of the auto-libsodium transition. You might want to ensure that your package is ready for it. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for vim (2:9.1.1230-1 to 2:9.1.1230-2): BLOCKED: Needs an approval (either due to a freeze, the source suite or a manual hint)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ blocked by freeze: is a key package (Follow the freeze policy when applying for an unblock)
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 1 of 20 days old
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/v/vim.html
    • ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for vim/2:9.1.1230-2: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
    • ∙ ∙ Waiting for reproducibility test results on armhf - info ♻
