Being on melpa is not a prerequisite for being in Debian, as long as the upstream seems maintained. I don't use apache so I can't really comment on the merits of the two modes. I do notice that the emacs-php one has tags, and is more recently active (2017 vs 2016). So I guess go for that one if you don't find a better way to break the tie. d

Hi! Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated :-) On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 08:21:41AM +0100, Sean Whitton wrote: > Hello, > > On Mon, Jun 25 2018, Nicholas D. Steeves wrote: > > > P.S.

Eg: goodies' apache-mode is the original, by Jonathan Marten. https://github.com/martenjj/apachemode is also by Jonathan Marten - Notes that it merges the features of three forks back into the original. https://github.com/emacs-php/apache-mode/ is a fork by Karl Chen, and I wonder if it would be as smooth of a transition. The fork would be new to Debian... At any rate, the RFC: Do we want the version by the original author, which merges the features from three forks, or do we want the version on MELPA. If necessary, I'd be happy to contact Jonathan Marten to ask him if he would be willing to push his package to MELPA. > I would suggest a joint RFS containing all of them. Ok, I'll do this for all the legacy subpackages we decide to maintain. Cheers, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature
