What do people think about making it an official package? It
contains, among other things, a SASL elisp library, which I'm trying
to make Gnus use. The Sieve package can take advantage of it
immediately though.
Unfortunately it also contains a hacked version of mail-lib's
smtpmail.el, splitted into two new files; smtp.el and smtpmail.el. I
haven't tested it, and perhaps those files should be removed? Or is
it possible to make sure mail-lib is always earlier in load-path?
Eek. At least this needs considerable testing before we make it
official.
To make it an official package, moving the directory into
../../../xemacs-packages/ on the CVS server should work (this is how I
compile it, I haven't gotten the build system in unsupported/ to
work).
Please don't do that. Build problems in the unsupported area are
usually due to missing entries of *official* required packages from
unsupported/package-compile.el (package-directory-map). Or buggy
Makefiles. For example, flim requires apel, which wasn't in that list
(I've added it a couple of minutes ago).
Of course, I have barely tried the package so it needs reviewing.
Yep. And the dependency of APEL worries me too, given the recent
troubles and the somewhat uncertain future of it as a xemacs package.
