Re: [comp.emacs.xemacs] AUCTeX 11.84 released

"Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: Straw man. It would result in binary packages where you had to use customize on some platforms to get the right result, not in "undistributable" binary packages. In fact, the AUCTeX team _did_ distribute those "undistributable" packages, to the satisfaction of the users. It is not "proof of concept". The generated packages work and are indistinguishable from those built by the XEmacs team (hypothetically assuming that the XEmacs team would build proper AUCTeX packages, that is). Which you do by calling ./configure make FTPDIR=/tmp/auctex TAG=11.84 tarball make FTPDIR=/tmp/auctex TAG=11.84 xemacs-package Then you have a completely built XEmacs package in /tmp/auctex, and an unpacked clean tarball in ./auctex-11.84. And that's just when pretending that we don't provide this XEmacs package already. Which is terribly hard, given that we distribute both tarball and XEmacs package. Let's see, that would be something like cd /tmp wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex-11.84{,-pkg}.tar.gz rm -rf auctex-11.84 tar xzf auctex-11.84.tar.gz cd auctex-11.84 git-init-db git add . git commit -m tarball rm -rf * tar xzf ../auctex-11.84-pkg.tar.gz git add . git-diff --find-copies-harder --cached --stat -B -M -C HEAD defaulting to local storage area Committing initial tree

changed, 1571 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) Nonsense. It requires the AUCTeX distribution, the XEmacs package file, and a comparison tool. And actually, it does not really require even that. It suffices to take the finished XEmacs package distributed by AUCTeX, since that contains everything that is to end up in the XEmacs package from Sumo, in the right places. The rest is fluff. It is an illusion to imagine that taking the identical files from the source tarball instead of AUCTeX's binary XEmacs package is somehow going to make a legal difference: the copyrightable content is the same. In either case, XEmacs central decides that it needs not distribute the build infrastructure (whether from AUCTeX or from XEmacs) along with the binary package in order to comply with the GPL. The only part in the above file list that is harder than moving stuff around and using the normal XEmacs mechanisms (or taking a pregenerated file created by AUCTeX upstream mechanically without copyrightable content, with scripts that XEmacs central does not consider "source code" anyway and would not distribute), is to generate the unpacked files and documentation from preview.dtx (you need a basic LaTeX distro for that). And you need to do that only if you insist on ignoring the XEmacs package provided upstream. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
