Hi all The current CVS version from CEDET throws an error when loaded. Reason is the library `inversion'[1] which comes with CEDET and aims at providing a standard interface for dealing with version numbers and strings. It parses `emacs-version' using a list of regular expressions (`inversion-decoders') and tries to figure whether this is a full release, alpha, beta, etc. None of the regexps matches our format: "21.5 (beta28) \"fuki\" 4cb7c59b5201 XEmacs Lucid" I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to add XEmacs regexps to these. But looking at version.el I found some confusing information: ,---- | (defconst emacs-version | (format "%d.%d %s%s%s%s%s" | emacs-major-version | emacs-minor-version | (if emacs-patch-level | (format "(patch %d)" emacs-patch-level) | "") | (if xemacs-betaname | (concat " " xemacs-betaname) | "") | (if xemacs-codename | (concat " \"" xemacs-codename "\"") | "") | (if xemacs-extra-name | (concat " " xemacs-extra-name) | "") | " XEmacs Lucid") | "Version numbers of this version of XEmacs.") `---- Conditionals evaluating `emacs-patch-level' and `xemacs-betaname' are not mutually exclusive. What does it tell me if both variables are non-nil? Does that indicate a patch for a beta-XEmacs, or a beta version of the next patch-level? IOW, would "21.5 (patch 37) (beta93)" be more like 21.5.37.93 or 21.5.93.37?
