Sounds like a total mess for XEmacs developers any which way. Unless some XEmacs developer volunteers maintaining for the XEmacs parts, it is not likely to be much of a help keeping them. How about tagging the current state with something like url_with_xemacs, then moving XEmacs support out? In that way, if some XEmacs developer ever volunteers to take it up at some time, he can just work on remerging the branches. I think that seems like a saner approach than letting the support remain in head with an unknown and rotting state of functionality for XEmacs. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
