Michael, we face some temporary complications with CVS access at the moment. Our repository is in flux. At the same time our XEmacs packages manager, youngs(a)xemacs.org, is computer-less for a while. Stephen, could you please check with Steve whether a packages\xemacs-packages\clearcase directory would be the right place for this new package. I think we should avoid confusing names with vc-cc. I can bootstrap the new package next week. Michael, after that you could send any patches to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org and I would commit them for now. You could however start immediately to make patches against Kevin's latest clearcase.el and mark XEmacs changes clearly as such with: ;; XEmacs change: ... Kevin might be able to accept such patches as long as they don't break anything and look right. It should make many people happy to have clearcase.el available as an XEmacs package. Let's wait for Kevin's and Stephen's input now. Best regards, Adrian Michael> (I'm copying Adrian and Rod on this, since they are Michael> mentioned as clearcase.el contributors wrt.
