xemacs-packages: Current state 25 years

Andreas Jaeger

I've applied a number of patches to xemacs-packages and I think we should consider putting out new versions and sumo-tarballs. I've got the following open problems: - Are there any patches that need to be checked in? Steve, what is in your patch queue (btw. feel free to send all patches to me - I'll apply them asap) ? - psgml 1.2.1 is out. I haven't integrated it. Anybody else going to make a tested patch for me? - When and how will the package version numbers be upgraded? - Who is going to put out new package versions - and when? IMO we should have new versions out *before* the next beta release - this means before monday, 6th december. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger SuSE Labs aj(a)suse.de private aj(a)arthur.rhein-neckar.de

The LDAP thing has AFAIK been more or less experimental all this time.
