Re: Wanting to upload 2 new packages
Ar an triochadú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh steven Mitchell:
Byrel and I finished getting a new xpm-mode uploaded to text-modes.
It
was obvious where that went because it was an update to an existing
package by the same name in text modes.
Now there are 2 more packages to upload, new ones that are not an update
to an existing package. Where do we put them?
One is buffer-colors.el, a package that involves an easy method for
changing buffer colors on the fly, both with a menu interface and with a
customize interface. [...] We were thinking it might go in edit-utils
package--what do you think?
That sounds reasonable; either there or xemacs-base.
The second file is icon-themes.el, a package to change icons as a
"set"
in the XEmacs menu bar. [...] We have on the menu under Options-->Icon
Themes, though that can be changed. Where do you think this package
should be put?
Will the other themes be in separate files? If so, a new icon-themes package
would seem to be the way to go.
The second question is, once we figure out where to upload them, who
do
we ask for permission to upload them at that place (or places)?
Well, first of all, upload them in (a) personal repositor(y|ies) there
(ideally following the XEmacs package structure), and then come back to the
list; that will make integrating them into the XEmacs packages easiest.
