Does the .sig file need a symlink too? Can we have the package-index.LATEST file just be the output of M-x mc-sign, ie. contain the text and the key in one file? If I do C-x C-f package-index.LATEST.nopgp, then M-x mc-sign, and C-x C-w package-index.LATEST, I get something like what's below, though I've omitted most of the database records.

Greg Klanderman

Steve, I'm working on a patch to fix package-get-base. Can I get the following from you: - have ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/package-index.LATEST point to a package-get-base file which is PGP signed. - give me your PGP public key. thanks greg

Re: pcl-cvs's cvs-change-cvsroot allows local files only! 26 years, 1 month

Greg Klanderman

Ick. What do you propose? I could make the interactive specification "string" rather than "directory" but then you don't get filename completion even when it is local. M-x set-variable RET cvs-cvsroot will work. Either way, setting cvs-cvsroot is evil; do you really want/need to do that?

Does anyone use Andy> pop3.el with gnus? Are there any other pop access packages? I do; but then, I wrote it. :) Some things to consider: VM's copyright is quite specifically *NOT* owned by the FSF. RMS will not allow any code into the FSF Emacs distribution for which the FSF does not hold the copyright. Which means that any 'unified pop' based on vm-pop will not be distributed by the FSF, which means a 'unified pop' based on vm-pop will not be particularly unified. I have signed the rights to pop3.el to the FSF, so there is no problem there. There is a lot of VM-specific code in vm-pop, since it is a full-blown POP3 client. Using vm-pop as a code base will require much rewriting, even assuming you can get past the legal issues. pop3.el is a library, not a client (pop3-movemail is a reference implementation). A unified POP client could be easilly written using pop3.el as the foundation. That is why I wrote it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNiUsvp6VRH7BJMxHAQEgKgQAkhdulcUA18vchMCtqJlHdWKIQLCg6eV3 mQXD04Nz3nejDBeAfk8w+nlB+lnCTdvfxylKOEtaqiQLO87fGGs880WAc4Bdbu1J O2Dj35BhHnCHBU7+53pZEJ2ol9XsFhn8m9hlyDBCdrZNOJsIURmw+l++ACx85XGB s2pJZdii7Ts= =R+nP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat <ratinox(a)peorth.gweep.net> \ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

I have seen too many postings to the XEmacs list when people have CCed you or posted messages you sent to them privately (as I am doing with this message) to find even a shred of truth in that statement. Not only that, but I have my VERY OWN experiences to judge by. More than once I have submitted patches to you only to enter into weeks of haggling to try and get them accepted, and I am GPL-safe and the FSF has all of my copyright assignments on file. > They gained a short-term advantage by not asking contributors for > legal papers, the way I do; that endangers the ability to enforce the > GPL for XEmacs. > > Please do not help them win this rivalry. If you don't want to help > me, at least please don't urge people to join their camp. I am not urging anyone to do anything. All I can do is state my own experiences and state problems as I see them. The management of the GNU Emacs project versus the XEmacs project makes it MUCh easier to be an XEmacs developer. Since that is what my original posting was about, lets stick to the issue at hand. The management model that you use for the EMacs and GCC projects simply does not lend it self to people WANTING to work on those projects. Its that simple. Just look at the activity on the EGCS list versus the GCC list ... look at the difference in activity on the XEMacs list versus activity on the (very private) Emacs beta lists. The model of keeping development releases "hidden" or "private" from the general public doesnt work. The model of forcing developers into YOUR way of thinking and having to defend their every patch doesnt work. Thats the issue at hand. But I will state, for the record, that if asked for an opinion by, say a random developer, which project he should contribute to (EGCS versus GCC, XEmacs versus GNU Emacs), I have to admit that I would recommend that they stay as far away from GCC and GNU Emacs as they can, and that is very sad. The work you have done, and the goals you are striving for are very worthwhile and I support the GOALS and CONCEPTS ... I just dont support the projects that try to achieve those goals. Its all free software after all ... who cares if its for XEmacs or GNU Emacs, EGCS or GCC. The users are the ones who can make up their own minds in the end ... the whole concept of free software and freedom of source is to spark improvement. I see both EGCS and XEmacs improving in ways that matter more to me and in a quicker manner than I see their GNU counterparts doing, and thats the bottom line. Dare I say it, but you seem to be reaping the rewards of your goals. You wanted people to have free access to source code, so that they could learn and help improve software.
