Re: Gnus package

Reiner> I suppose this is this patch? Reiner> 2004-01-27 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org&gt; (tiny change) Reiner> * gnus-spec.el (gnus-parse-simple-format): Fix setq value Reiner> omission. Right (sorry for not providing a more precise reference). Reiner> Hm, (setq dontinsert) is the same as (setq dontinsert nil) in Reiner> Emacs. OTOH, setting dontinsert to nil is a no-op here. Hmm. I didn't try to verify correctness, so I can't comment on what the right value should be. MikeK> I don't see this one, either. I don't know if Aidan has approached MikeK> someone on the Gnus team about it yet. Reiner> No. In the form discussed in Reiner> <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.patches/8878> it's Reiner> not suitable for inclusion since it would break on Emacs. Okay. I don't have time to pursue this right now, but I've added a note to myself about it. Or maybe Aidan will get to it first. MikeK> I didn't look in CVS, but Katsumi Yamaoka said the third patch (or MikeK> something equivalent) is in the v5-10 branch (see MikeK> http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-patches/2008-March/001531.html). Reiner> I don't know how you solved the problem in XEmacs, but I'd Reiner> suggest to check if you can use Katsumi Yamaoka's approach Reiner> instead of a different one. Yes, I'm planning to look into that when I do update to 5.10.10. (My goal for all the packages I maintain is zero local patches.) MikeK> Though I keep forgetting about that pesky issue of compatible GPL MikeK> versions. That could delay things. :-( Reiner> Didn't you (XEmacs) decide to switch to GPLv3 as well? I seem Reiner> to recall Steven wrote something like this recently. I've seen discussion of it, but I'll have to let Stephen explain what the current status is. Reiner> On a second thought, if you only sync with upstream releases, we Reiner> don't really need xemacs-pkg-* tags because it would be the same Reiner> as the v5-10-* release tag. Okay. If for some reason I need to sync with a non-release snapshot, I'll mail ding to work out getting it tagged appropriately. cheers, mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
