XEmacs 21.4.14 "Rational Discussion" is Released
21 years, 3 months
Vin Shelton
* XEmacs 21.4.14 "Reasonable Discussion" is released.
"Reasonable Discussion" is the fifteenth in the OXYMORON series.
The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.14 - "Reasonable
Discussion", is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors.
* Availability
Anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4
See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. (Note that the tarball breakdown
is slightly different from that implied for 21.1. For 21.4, the
xemacs-21.4.14.tar.gz tarball contains the full contents of the
xemacs-21.4.14-{src,elc,info}.tar.gz tarballs.)
If you already have a 21.4.13 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.13-21.4.14.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos,
they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier
version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits.
Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html.
Anonymous (pserver) CVS:
Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our
host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick reponse to all our
requests.
If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository
before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as
before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS
tree.
Take care that your Root is set correctly to
CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs
On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like
for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done
will convert your entire tree.
Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.14, use the release
tag "r21-4-14". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the
current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".
