Nope; there won't be any mailing list administrative action to do so, although some tweaking of the cvs 'bot may be helpful. A CVS log of the form Subject: [AC21.5] Lisp is self-hosting; blow away src/ APPROVE COMMIT 21.5 (commit and review) This patch does rm -rf on the src subtree, now that the Lisp engine is Scheme48 and all of XEmacs is written in Scheme. will probably DTRT, making a post to XEmacs Patches unnecessary. The Subject: in the CVS log is already recognized by the 'bot. Until the kinks are worked out and all the reviewers are on board with the new process, however, many users may wish to filter. Since only the reviewers will be involved, the discussion that already occurred on xemacs-review seems to cover these points sufficiently; I'll add it to the BCP I'm going to write. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
