1. Are there any descriptions, tools, examples etc. how to build a

tar file?
Not really, there is just the mail to this list I sent a while ago on
how to build a stand-alone package. If you missed it I can forward it.
Furthermore I am building a package myself which can be used as an
example (

However in your case it is more complicated as your package is
currently one of the "standard packages". That should make it easier
but unfortunately it currently isn't as Steve is busy with other
things and the buld process checked into the cvs is really geared
towards steve. However it will work if you can spare diskspace to
checkout the whole tree.
- build a XEmacs package file and put it on
ftp.xemacs.org ?
- put it in the CVS tree and check it in (no idea, if I've the
permissions to do that)?
If you want to be the official maintainer of the XEmacs package that
is the best thing. You are supposed to be able to get write access to
the tree.
- send patches[1] (diffs against the CVS tree)?
That would be best if you want Steve/"XEmacs team" to remain as
maintainer of the package. (Send them to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org).
[1] Note: There will be additional files and directories in the
package and the files lib/xemacs-21.2-b3/etc/idd/* should be
deleted, because I'd moved them to a package specific etc
directory.
Hmm they should have been in the package all along.
