(defconst clearcase-version-stamp "ClearCase-version: </main/188>") still uses tq.el, except for clearcase-on-mswindows. ;; NT Emacs - doesn't use tq. ;; (if (not clearcase-on-mswindows) (require 'tq)) What about this? The version of tq.el at http://www.ultranet.com/~esler/ccase-mode/ is slightly different what the XEmacs package vc-cc has. We don't want the clearcase package to (require 'vc-cc), do we? We don't want the clearcase package AND the vc-cc package come with their own versions of tq, right? Hmmh, what sheebeedoo? 2. clearcase.el has these requires: (require 'cl) (require 'comint) (require 'dired) (require 'easymenu) (require 'reporter) (require 'ring) (or clearcase-xemacs-p (require 'timer)) <lines deleted by Adrian> ;; NT Emacs - doesn't use tq. ;; (if (not clearcase-on-mswindows) (require 'tq)) <lines deleted by Adrian> (eval-and-compile (condition-case nil (require 'custom) (error nil)) <lines deleted by Adrian> REQUIRES = dired fsf-compat mail-lib xemacs-base pending a decision on vc-cc. 3. clearcase.el has no documentation to go along with it. Kevin, will you write a clearcase.texi? I just winged one for now. Kevin, feel free to take any bits and pieces if you like. 4. Given this is a brand-new package I would like to send it for review and comments as a tarball. Here it is: Steve, I'll not commit it before I hear from you. Best regards, Adrian APA> Steve, I could give it a shot bootstraping this package unless you APA> want to do it? SY> If you want to have a go at it, Adrian, that's fine by me. Yell if SY> you need any help. SY> Some stuff to remember: SY> ./xemacs-packages/clearcase/package-info.in SY> ./xemacs-packages/clearcase/Makefile SY> ./xemacs-packages/Makefile SY> ./package-compile.el I'll send a patch for the last two to xemacs-patches later.
