How do I control the indentation in shell scripts when using the filetype indent plugin?
I have consulted Vim's documentation and found the section on ft-sh-indent to be confusing. The documenation found on the Web is the same as what I have locally.
I have tried setting the documented values in '~/.vim/after/indent/sh.vim' as well as setting values manually with a shell file loaded. Both result in undefined variable error when trying to set dictionary keys.
I have looked in '/usr/share/vim/vim72/indent/sh.vim' and have not found any references to the variables documented.
I am running Vim 7.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 and have filetype detection, plugin, and indent enabled.

What aspect of the indentation are you trying to control? What variables are you trying to set, how exactly are you trying to set them, and what exactly happens when you try?

Have a look at the documentation. There seems to be conflicting or at least confusing information whether it is b:sh_indent_defaults or b:sh_indent_options.

I want to change the indent of case statements. Trying to set any of the documented dictionary keys results in the same error message. For example:
:let b:sh_indent_options['case-labels'] = 0
Results in:
E121: Undefined variable: b:sh_indent_options
Anyway, this may be a wild goose chase since sh_indent_options nor sh_indent_defaults is referenced in none of the installed plugins. As a comparison, look at the documentaton for Python indent.

OK, I see the problem now. The most recent version of vim I have is 7.2.264 and it still came packaged (for Cygwin) with indent/sh.vim revision 2006-04-19, which uses neither b:sh_indent_defaults nor b:sh_indent_options. The vim-7.2.184 for Windows that I got from the Cream project also has the old indent/sh.vim. Yet, ":help ft-sh-indent" for all the versions of vim I have describe b:sh_indent_options.
The problem is that the latest official release of vim is 7.2 with no patches. It is up to anyone building a patched version to download and apply the patches themselves. The patches, however, do not include any updates to the runtime files, so one has to also download and install the latest runtime files. That apparently wasn't done by the folks distributing the vim packages that you and I have. That, or the new indent/sh.vim didn't make it into the runtime repository.
I've been lax in keeping the vim installations I build myself up to date, so I don't know whether the runtime repository currently has the new indent/sh.vim or not.
There is definitely an error in the current help documentation as well, but I don't know whether the correct name for the dictionary is sh_indent_defaults or sh_indent_options.
To find out how to download the latest runtime files, see

Vim 7.2.79 here and same revision of 'indent/sh.vim'.

Would this be a packaging bug?

OK, seems the new 'indent/sh.vim' isn't in the runtime repository. It is the same revision I already had installed -- 2006-04-19.

Should I file a bug report on it?

It's a bug somewhere. If, as you say below, the runtime repository doesn't contain the version of a plugin that matches the latest documentation, then there will be an error in the package but it won't be the fault of the packager.

I notice that the current indent/sh.vim (which uses that Dictionary) is dated 2009-11-12, i.e., three days after you posted this. So either the change was "in the queue for the next update" when you posted this, or you triggered the fix.
Best regards,
Tony.

Yeah, I filed a bug report on it, and Bram and Nikolai got right to work
on it.
