Anwyay I cannot really share your fealings towards debian. It really depends on the individual maintainers. Their XEmacs maintainer is proabbly too busy as sometimes the Debian XEmacs runs behind quite a lot. In this case their maintainer probably should escalate the bug reports to the main authors more oftenm, as unlike a lot of other packages both Emacsen have clear and active maintenance teams. On the other side Debian comes with XEmacs whereas Redhat does not all. You choose. Jan P.S. Maybe one should prod the debian people into changin their bug tracking system so that any bug against filed against their XEmacs packages automatically gets forwarded to ours when we finally have one.
