Re: [Failure] The Package Smoketest

As I understand it the reason for doing it in a branch was that we thought a patch to XEmacs.rules was needed. So by having it in a branch would make it easier to show the problem and test solutions to it. But I think we have found a way to make the build work without that patch. So this is a plain package upgrade and I don't think they need to be done in a branch. Maybe big updates are vice to handle in a branch but the release procedure of the distribution does allow for some problems to exist for a while doesn't it? And since CVS, branching and new folders is a chapter of its own it might be good to stay away from it. So as can happen with major upgrades not all things have been checked in. A few files and folders are missing for the build to work properly. I believe that Uwe is away for a few days or so so I suggest we wait for him to come back and check the rest in.
