Could you please be more specific? Do you mean to create a new module at the same level as the `auctex' module or do you meant to put RefTeX into its own folder below `auctex'? > Not > about creating a different repository on Savannah where things would > be maintained independently. > > You are now proposing something different. Assuming we give RefTeX its own module in CVS I don't see much of a difference between that and giving RefTeX its own Arch repository. With the CVS approach you'll need a separate check-out as well. It's not like a `cvs up' in the `auctex' folder will spew out RefTeX. >> Can be used with Emacs 21. > > I don't want to reply on version control systems for AUCTeX that don't > work out of the box with Emacs versions that can be reasonably > expected to be used by testers/developers.

No, I'm not! I think I made it clear that I first want to look more closely at Arch in order to make an informed decision. I just want to prevent a premature decision towards CVS. The stuff I've already learned about Arch just gave me a bit of cannon fodder I could use in the discussion. That's all. > This discussion is not going anywhere at this point of time. Right. I'm glad you articulated this because I've come to the same conclusion. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
