about obsolete packages

NB: xemacs-design currently doesn't exist---please direct traffic to xemacs-beta. Once the new ML system gets settled, we can revive -design if people think it's needed. Didier Verna writes: AUCTeX is a special case. David has been extremely uncooperative and has been mildly abusive toward Uwe Brauer who volunteered to maintain the XEmacs package. If Uwe wishes to drop the package, that's fine by me. However, I find the XEmacs package very useful for my personal needs, and others do too. The only solution acceptable to David is for us to distribute the pseudo-package produced by the AUCTeX team verbatim. I see no point in that; if we're going to drop support for the package, we should just point users to the AUCTeX site. (We should consider mirroring it in as-is/ or something, which I guess would be up to Norbert's time and effort so he should have final say, but it should not live with the packages that we claim to support.) Other packages with obsolete versions we should fix. IMHO YMMV etc. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
