Thanks for the heads-up -- when is this code freeze currently scheduled? The things I'm aware of standing in the way of merge are: 1) Status of changes to Objective-C handling in cc-mode (fontify message sends, etc.). A patch has been sent to Alan Mackenzie (cc- mode maintainer) and he seemed initially favorable to accepting it, but has since gotten caught up in other stuff. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/91352 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/80776 2) GNUstep operation. Chris Hall posted here some patches, which I incorporated, however emacs dev Stephan Monnier was unable to run on his Debian machine with them. The GNUstep build has always been finicky but it would be nice to get it a bit more robust if possible. The first step to this IMHO is to get it working in dumped form. CANNOT_DUMP support in emacs is unreliable, and anyway startup is quite slow w/o dumping. 3) Configure/build improvements. Dan Christiansen posted some improvements here, however I'm unable to incorporate them without copyright assignment. This isn't my requirement, it's required by GNU to contribute code there. 4) General bug fixing. People have continued to post bugs, and I haven't had much time for squashing them. The up-to-the-minute code is now available under a bzr branch at GNU savannah as posted here earlier. Is there anything else I could do to make it easier for others to contribute? thanks, Adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
