Michael Harnois <mharnois(a)sbtek.net&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: I'm not sure I understand the question, but I think the answer is no. The sources that will become XEmacs 21.2 have been created as a branch in the CVS tree. The last command I used to check them out was: $ cvs checkout -r release-21-2 -d xemacs-21.2 xemacs-20.0 The command to get the 21.2 sources out of cvs.xemacs.org will be slightly different. Jareth is going to create a link to get 21.2 sources on the web page. I've never done a CVS branch before, so please bear with me.
