Re: PSGML's syntax table for HTML error in XEmacs 21.1

SY> That's not a snippet, it's the *entire* file! Yep, that's an SY> actively maintained package. :-) About as I expected. The rest is IMHO: SY> Does the sgml package have any useful code in it? I don't know, and I'd give long odds there isn't. Sufficiently so that I will refuse the assignment to check. ;-) SY> If it does, could it be incorporated into the psgml package? Maybe, but remember PSGML is an externally maintained package. It would be much better if we could get Lennart to take care of it entirely, including XEmacs-specific code, and avoid doing any synching ourselves, right? Not just for PSGML, but for all externally maintained packages, I'd really like to rename stuff like psgml-html (if as JJ says it's not part of upstream PSGML) and in general move xemacs-specific changes out of upstream files and into files that are identifiably XEmacs-specific. I also don't like packages where we delete files (apparently our APEL distribution is not complete). I have this dream that someday the upstream packagers will all use the same packaging system as XEmacs. But this isn't going to happen if they think of XEmacs as a bunch of hackers who make gratuitous changes to their code that they have to synch, and deal with bug reports about. SY> Then we could just delete sgml completely, couldn't we? Why? It doesn't hurt for it to be there, except that you have to roll a new package everytime Martin scratches his typo-fixing itch. Maybe we could created a deprecated category for packages or something. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
