CentOS 7 for Centmin Mod installs vim-minimal yum package right now but we need to look not at version number but the minor version increment and rpm changelog once an update is out for Redhat/CentOS

Code (Text):

yum list installed -q | grep vim
vim-minimal.x86_64              2:7.4.160-5.el7                  @base

Code (Text):

rpm -qa vim-minimal
vim-minimal-7.4.160-5.el7.x86_64
