I mentioned this once before, months ago, then let it drop. We need a port
of button.el from Emacs if we are ever going to move up to the latest
version of CEDET. Now I have discovered that references to button.el
ALREADY show up in our packages, namely:
- xemacs-packages/calendar/cal-compat.el: has competing make-button and
insert-button functions (these will have to go once we introduce the
"real"
button.el).
- xemacs-packages/calendar/diary-lib.el: use of define-button-type, inside a
comment about how we don't have button.el
- xemacs-packages/viper/viper-cmd.el: checks for existence of button-at and
push-button functions
- xemacs-packages/xemacs-base/debug.el: uses of button-buffer-map and
push-button, both commented out, in the debugger-mode-map setup
The last time we discussed this, we talked about adding button.el to the
fsf-compat package. In light of the above (and the fact that I converted
it to use extents instead of overlays), is fsf-compat still the best place
for button.el? I admit that I don't see a package for which it is well
suited, but I wonder if it might not fit better somewhere else.
