Re: bug: can't load comint version (matlab)

Uwe Brauer writes: Well, in theory they're only supposed to be sharing source files for third party libraries, which is no different from what happens with stuff you get from emacswiki, etc. Problems generally occur when there are differences of opinion about whether a library is a third-party library. (There have been cases where a library is in GNU Emacs, in an XEmacs package, and also the bleeding edge version is independently developed and distributed in Debian.) AFAICT the Debian maintainers of such packages rarely do "due diligence" to ensure compatibility with all the Emacsen distributed by Debian. Instead they make sure their preferred platform is well supported, and depend on upstream efforts for compatibility. But if upstream were always doing such a great job, there would be no need for Debian. :-) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
