Re: auctex 11.88 numeration scheme

I did some testing: I just modified in the Makefile of the auctex (still not upgraded to 11.88) directory the relevant string VERSION = 11.84 I even tried VERSION = 11.84-b And make bindist did generate auctex-11.84-pkg.tar.gz auctex-11.84-b-pkg.tar.gz Respectively. Will that cause any problem for Norbert? Two comments: - the version I want to release is not strictly 11.88, but with a little patch, thanks to Mosè which made a variable backward compatible. According to the Auctex folks, that is also true for elpa, the current version is not *exactly* 11.88. - if we found a functionality in auctex which would need some modifications wrapped with a (with (featurep 'xemacs) I am pretty sure the auctex team would accept it. Now I had a look the Changelog[1] since 11.84 the changes done, would not affect functionality provided by auctex so I doubt it would go in their package. However if I change now the scheme to 11.88 and we would make some (internal) changes I would not like to call the new release 11.89, if 11.88-a is not possible I would even propose not to change the release number at all. As I said above I just changed the string and make bindist worked in the auctex directory and also in the main directory. I am puzzled. Uwe Footnotes: [1] there is something odd, it seems some information got lost when moving from CVS to mercury, because I remember the problems with 11.84 and the contribution of Mats, and this was around 2008/2009 but it is not reflected in the Changelog, it seems that the upgrade to 11.84 is from 2014 which is wrong _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
