Hi, finally I found time to take a closer look at how to keep the xemacs package of VM up to date with upstream. Upstream has a different directory layout than the current vm package which seems to have the one of VM 7.19, i.e. all sources in the base directory of the package except for the pixmaps which are in "etc/". But taking a look at the package of gnus I started to modify it to match the layout of upstream which simplifies syncing a lot. Are such changes o.k.? Also I have added a line to "package-compile.el" in order to make pre-loading of vm-macros.el etc. work. The Makefile introduces a lot of new dependencies, which are not required by the core of vm but by addons, I hope this is o.k. The list of provides in "package-info.in" has to be updated by hand if I am correct? Also I bundle a newer version of vcard.el with vm, than the one provided by the gnus package. How are such duplicates handled? IMHO it would be better to have vcard.el in another package required by the packages which need it. A incomplete diff is below ... Bye, Robert.
