So close and yet so far. 25 years, 5 months

Jan Vroonhof

Is there anywhere a list of patches that have been approved by xemacs-review? I'm hoping these could then be checked into the CVS by somebody else than Steve. This would a. reduce the burden on Steve when he has time for XEmacs again. b. make it possible to have these patches tested during the current de facto "true freeze." To my knowledge the outstanding stuff is now only - Fix package-get-remote-filename to add "anonymous＠" - Add documentation for package system. - Make sure easymenu.el is FSF 20.3 is compatible. - Wait for EFS maintainers to find time to do a review of outstanding patches. That is assuming most patches I have seen posted to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org are applied. In particular the package jumbo patch and "reset-face" quick fix. Jan

Update Package Command 25 years, 5 months

Rebecca Ore

Could someone tell me if this works in Poitou? What do I have to do to get it to work? I have been updating the package by hand and would like to be able to get them automatically. I haven't tried this as root but it seems logical that I'd have to be root to do it as I can't write to the /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages/ directory as user rebecca. Sorry I haven't been following things closely, but new job and finishing a novel and being seduced by Gnome for a while took me off track (I've dropped Gnome). -- Rebecca Ore
