But the last version that diff-mode.el Ville> is synched from is nowadays GNU Emacs 21.2 (which is also noted in the Ville> commentary). That should be enough for now---hopefully GNU Emacs 21.2 will be available for long enough. I accept Steve's ruling on the matter. The main reason for my complaint was that *I* did the original port of diff-mode which pcl-cvs and dired (which I also did) depend on, and I was expecting to some day to do further work on those. So I was only being selfish---I didn't expect you to create .upstream versions of other files. When there are local changes, .upstream files help a great deal. I had a bitch of a time porting a newer version of pcl-cvs due to the absence of them. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
