I would like to sync the version of the pcl-cvs package bundled with XEmacs with Stefan Monnier's latest 2.9.7 version. One minor obstacle is that the newer versions of pcl-cvs.el use the function `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' to define the cvs-minor-mode. Now, this function does not exist in XEmacs. The Pcl-CVS FAQ suggests using the version of "easy-mmode.el" which comes with Emacs, but there are several reasons why the XEmacs maintainers would prefer not having to drag this file into the XEmacs "pcl-cvs" package. Attached is a patch which uses the XEmacs `add-minor-mode' function to set up the minor mode when in Emacs, and uses `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' otherwise. Pending some feedback on this patch, I will make pcl-2.9.7 into an XEmacs package, compatible with the new XEmacs package system. pcl-cvs-2.9.7 can be gotten from ftp://rum.cs.yale.edu/pub/monnier/pcl-cvs you also need to get the "diff-mode.el" which has been split out from pcl-cvs. I would like any feedback from anybody who tries using this package with XEmacs version 21. --- pcl-cvs-2.9.7/pcl-cvs.el 1999/09/30 14:39:07 1.1 +++ pcl-cvs-2.9.7/pcl-cvs.el 1999/09/30 16:35:59 ＠＠ -275,15 +275,38 ＠＠ ;;;; -(easy-mmode-define-minor-mode - cvs-minor-mode - " +;;; XEmacs change +(if (null (boundp 'running-xemacs)) + (defvar running-xemacs (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version))) + +(if running-xemacs + (progn + (defvar cvs-minor-mode nil + "Non-nil when cvs mode is active.") + (defun cvs-minor-mode (arg) + "Toggle cvs-minor-mode. +With ARG, turn cvs-minor-mode on if arg is positive, off otherwise.
