Re: Big Nasty Problem w/self-insert-command

Hi Bob, I'm assuming you accidentally dropped the xemacs-beta mailing list from your reply (please keep it Cc'd so that people know what's going on), so I'm quoting your message in full to the list below as well as adding some comments.

> Ah! Some one who works near CentOS! CentOS has nothing to do with this. > It is not in their official web site nor in the site I got it from. centos.karan.org is a site maintained by one of the active (AFAIK) CentOS developers, so I don't think "CentOS folks/maintainers" is entirely incorrect. The sources they use seem to be available at http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/SRPMS/

As I mentioned, I haven't paid much attention at all to keeping the package out of the box rebuildable on CentOS/RHEL. But if you want to look into it, I suggest taking a look at the latest package revision instead of the Fedora 9 one; the source rpm is available for example at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/

Yes, I know these things very well, I use CentOS actively myself but not XEmacs on it at the moment. But anyway, unless you take a look into it yourself, you could ask the above from the centos.karan.org maintainer - his address seems to be on the centos.karan.org front page.
