Since no one objected to my proposal for promoting emacs-23 to "current"
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-06/msg00090.html), I've prepared new emacs packages for cygwin 1.7. I've bumped the package version to -10, following Chuck's model for distinguishing 1.7 packages from 1.5 packages.

One question: I've removed from the "requires" lines all packages that are needed only for the emacs 21.2-13 packages, which will become "previous". Is this the right thing to do? It means that anyone who chooses the previous version (without having ever had it before) might be missing some prerequisites. If I shouldn't have done that, please hold off on uploading, and I'll fix the setup.hint files.

cd release-2
D=http://www.math.cornell.edu/~kbrown/cygwin-1.7
wget -x -nH --cut-dirs=2 \
  ${D}/emacs/setup.hint \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-23.0.92-10-src.tar.bz2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-23.0.92-10.tar.bz2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-X11/setup.hint \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-X11/emacs-X11-23.0.92-10.tar.bz2 \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-el/setup.hint \
  ${D}/emacs/emacs-el/emacs-el-23.0.92-10.tar.bz2

Please delete the 23.0.92-1 (test) packages, leaving 21.2-13 as previous.

Ken
