Re: Hyperbole should compile and install cleanly now.

Jake> Have you taken over as maintainer of Hyperbole from the, unfortunately, Jake> defunct BeOpen (formerly AltraSoft)? Not quite. I am the maintainer of Hyperbole in the XEmacs packages. Jake> If so, that would be great! My first goal is met by bringing Hyperbole back into the packages. There are a few minor things that need adjustment considering that Hyperbole 4.18 was release sometime 1999. Since then there has been some development of XEmacs and other external systems that Hyperbole should adjust to. All of this I believe will be in the spirit of Hyperbole as intended by the author. I plan to complete this stage after the summer. There has also been a lot of development out there and even inside XEmacs that provides similar functionality to Hyperbole. I have no plans at the moment to refactor Hyperbole to use or support this new functionality better or in any new way than already is available in the package. Jake> Any chances you might move on to OO-Browser and that OO-Browser Jake> would become, along with Hyperbole, formally supported and Jake> distributed XEmacs packages? If the maintenance of Hyperbole goes well I might do that. Just bringing it in would be possible. I estimate though that OO-Browser would require quite some more time if it should be brought up to support all features in the current supported language set. Which is quite likely what you want if you are going to use it. Things like C++ namespaces isn't supported at all and will probably requires some work. There might be similar things for the other languages. The fact that there is an active code browser project for Emacs does also make the project questionable. Yours -- %% Mats
