Re: Packaging clearcase.el for XEmacs?

Hello Michael, are you still interested in maintaining a clearcase package for XEmacs? http://www.ultranet.com/~esler/ccase-mode/clearcase.el which is currently at (defconst clearcase-version-stamp "ClearCase-version: </main/188>") works fine for me in (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) \"Common Lisp (candidate 1)\" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Thu Nov 29 2001 on D5DC120J" which is a native Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] build. It has my only remaining gripe resolved in that it honors directory-sep-char now. Steve, would xemacs-packages/clearcase/ be the right home for this package? I guess we should steer clear of vc-cc.el since that package is still around and even received patches recently. Steve, I could give it a shot bootstraping this package unless you want to do it? See http://cvs.sunsite.dk/viewcvs.cgi/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/vc-cc/?... Best regards, Adrian APA> You could however start immediately to make patches against Kevin's APA> latest clearcase.el and mark XEmacs changes clearly as such with: APA> ;; XEmacs change: ... APA> Kevin might be able to accept such patches as long as they don't break APA> anything and look right. APA> It should make many people happy to have clearcase.el available as an APA> XEmacs package. APA> Let's wait for Kevin's and Stephen's input now. APA> Best regards, APA> Adrian Michael> (I'm copying Adrian and Rod on this, since they are Michael> mentioned as clearcase.el contributors wrt. XEmacs Michael> integration.)
