Do I need to be properly eric> anointed or something... Step 1: Wait for CVS to reopen. :-( Within a few days, I think. Step 2: Check out ps-print-nomule package. You also need all the parent directories. There will be instructions at http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html shortly. (These used to be at the old repository host, so they're moving too.) Step 3: If maintainer of record (see comments in file prologues) is not XEmacs Devel Team, contact the maintainer to see how they feel about sharing/passing on responsibility. Step 4: Drop new upstream version in instead of old version. If files have changed, you need to play with the Makefile, if not, probably no problem. Step 5: Build and test, make a binary package, test install, etc. Step 6: If you really want to do this, and maintainer of record is OK with it, send me <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; an SSH public key and I'll enable commits for you to that package. If not, do a cvs diff against the old package and mail it to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org. If the diff is really large, gzip it. Somebody here will take care of it. The above is more or less accurate, but (a) procedures will likely change as we are moving the CVS repository and (b) I'm only filling in for Steve Youngs, the regular Package Czar, who is temporarily out of touch.
