If you get a moment, could you clean up the formatting? Tabs should be 4 spaces, everything should line up as per the usual Portfile outline. This will most likely be reviewed by @raimue who seems to do all the MacPorts vim-related things. - Thanks!

Thank you for the submission. The place for vim plugins would normally be ${prefix}/share/vim/vimfiles/. However, this directory is currently not on the runtimepath of MacVim. Sorry, my fault that I never got back to that ticket.

These days, most people prefer to use vim-specific tools to manage vim plugins in their home (like vim-plug, Vundle, or NeoBundle). Therefore we do not have any other ports installing vim plugins at all. Is it really worth the effort to maintain a port for vimproc?

Do we have a decision on this? The pull request dates to September.

As there was no more feedback, I am closing this pull request. Unless someone comes up with a good reason for vim plugins or with a policy which vim plugins we should distribute as a port, I think vim plugin managers like vim-plug, Vundle, neobundle.vim, etc. are the better option to handle them.
