Re: [Bug: 21.5-b32] Hyper Apropos confused about user variables, sometimes eats first letter of docstring

Uwe Brauer writes: No, that's not his complaint. He made it clear that he didn't want help, except when he was completely stymied. He was uncomfortable with any loss of control of AUCTeX code. And he didn't provide any XEmacs infrastructure at all; he provided a *package* built with self-contained AUCTeX infrastructure. His main issue was he wanted us to change our policy that packages we distribute must build in our infrastructure, and distribute packages built externally that we can't build ourselves. He's not the only person to make such a request, but it's not one I will implement. Third parties can and do distribute such packages (VM is a prominent example), and we have no problem with that. I'd be happy to document their existence and where to find them (and offered to do so at the time, I don't recall if it ever made it into the distribution). But we need to build SUMOs, and we are responsible for bugs in packages we distribute, in particular installation and integration issues -- we're not going to rely on 3rd parties any more than any distro does. In that sense our experiences are similar: we both wanted to make it easier for third parties to contribute code, and were refused. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
