Dear all,

please excuse my ignorance. I am a long time user of AucTeX, and I love it
enough to have written a 300 page book and 120 articles with it. However,
throughout the lifetime of the project and my migration back to Windows, I
have found some minor problems that I do not want to solve using local
hacks of your functions.

These include:

* TeX-error-summary is arbitrarily closed by AucTeX before compilation,
causing a new window to be created. In general the philosophy of how this
buffer is handled deviates from that of other buffers (Help, manuals,
compilations, etc)

* AucTeX fails to parse error messages on MikTeX due to various issues,
including spurious ^M characters sometimes popping up in packages.

I would like to debug and work on both locally and contribute patches for
both issues, but I find it very obscure how to do this. For starters, the
ELPA package of AucTeX does not seem to match the sources that are
available on Git.

My ideal workflow would be:
* Develop on top of my git branch
* Let Emacs do the importing of that branch

It seems that is not feasible. If so, I would be not too extremely unhappy
to
* Develop on top of my git branch
* Use Windows Linux Subsystem (= Ubuntu) to create a standard package out
of the sources
* Install that package in my Windows emacs.

Best

Juanjo


P.S.: As a side question, why does the ELPA package eliminate all
references to xemacs? Is this done automatically?
