So where ever that information comes from (I Jarl> guess Makefile and/or package-info.in) I see that my earlier Jarl> posting was to the right place, but not correctly formatted, Jarl> it should be MIME attached and include some words for the Jarl> ChangeLog There are two instances of the patch in your previous mail. Once verbatim and once as attachment. Why is that? Jarl> I will repost it and hope Steve won't get too confused. Please send a followup to the patch your are replacing and use the SUPERSEDES keyword in the header on on the first line in the body. Examples exist in the xemacs-patches archive. Please do. Patcher may be for you. See item 6 of http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/index.html Jarl> I take the late reaction to my first posting is due to Steve Jarl> absence. Well, you mentioned that more work needs to be done. I read this that you will probably follow up with a patch. Jarl> Jarl -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/

Still in awe about the possibility of anon CVS access to GNU Emacs sources I have taken a look at pcvs*.el last weekend. AFAICT it hasn't diverged too much from pcl-cvs as we know it. All variables and functions are still starting with pcl-cvs. Only requires have changed, obviously. It now has a (require 'ewok). ewok stands for Ewoc Was Once Cookie and lives in emacs\lisp\emacs-lisp\ewoc.el Hope this helps, Adrian SY> I'll take it up with Stefan myself to find out exactly what he SY> wants done with patches to pcl-cvs. SY> In the meantime, Jarl, just send all your patches to SY> xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org and if anything needs to be fed SY> upstream, I'll take care of it.
