Request for developer access.

Hi! I’d like CVS write access. There are a few small patches I have in the queue that aren’t being committed, and they’re small enough that it seems not to be a quality of the code issue, more that people aren’t getting to them. I’d like to commit Jamie Zawinski’s X selection fixes from the middle of last year, and am prepared to back them out if they give people problems. (I’m pretty sure they won’t; I haven’t seen any in six months running them.) I can update the mhonarc configuration to work properly with the various MIME character sets, in contrast to what it does at the moment. I can co-ordinate with the authors of the package and import a more recent version of crypt.el than is currently there, adding, for example, gpg support to it out of the box. There are also a few simple, relatively subjective changes I’d like to make; - Move to vm-user-agent as our default email user agent, when available, because it handles MIME properly, and there’s no excuse for our shipping a default mail command that doesn’t. - Move the default gc-cons-threshold from its current 500k to something bigger. (We inherited 400k from the FSF; it’s been at 500k since at least 1996. I’ve been running with ten MB for a year or so now, to good effect, and would suggest four as a good default for XEmacs. For one example of what it does, it can make bigger VM folders much more usable.) - Set the default X11 application class to “XEmacs”. Yes, this will break old X11 resource files, but it’s nothing a search and replace can’t fix, and it _is_ a branding issue :-) - Set the default frame name to “XEmacs”. Same applies. - Add a default binding for manual-entry under Unix. (For a few years there, it was the one entry in my init.el I could least forego, and I would most have liked to be able to take out.) - Make cperl-perldoc an autoloaded function, and give it a default binding under cperl mode. I won’t commit anything huge and Mule-ish without discussion beforehand, as would be expected. If this suits people, I have an SSH public key available at http://www.parhasard.net/aidan.id_dsa.pub , and I’d prefer to use “aidan” my CVS user name. Comments? Bye, best regards, - Aidan -- “Ah come on now Ted, a Volkswagen with a mind of its own, driving all over the place and going mad, if that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”
