[gentoo-dev] GNU Emacs developer documentation and XEmacs cooperation
Hi all, From a planet post: We compiled a short guide with hints and pitfalls you might want to know about when dealing with Emacs and its packages. As I am wrangling with it for six months now as developer and some more as user I not necessearily remember all problems I faced. So feedback is really welcome, either about mistakes, unclear wording or even left-out information you regard as important. Don't hesitate to write us an email or file a bug, we usually listen (when not drunk or sleeping). We try to deepen the cooperation with the XEmacs team (hi Hans). As several people already mentioned, we are all together in one sub-project of Lisp, and also now sharing the same overlay, though XEmacs hasn't added anything yet. A goal is to provide (to be made) app-xemacs/ebuild-mode from the same codebase as app-emacs/ebuild-mode. V-Li signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I think the most important patch is the side bar, which is also available in mutt (thanks so much ferdy) :-) cheers, Wernfried -- Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne (at) gentoo.org http://forums.gentoo.org || http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/proctors/ forum-mods (at) gentoo.org || proctors (at) gentoo.org #gentoo-forums || #gentoo-proctors (freenode) pgpSrtJB7KsK7.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just FYI the sidebar-patch is going to be taken out of the Gentoo's mutt-patchset. It is going to get a USE flag for itself and it is going to be either sidebar or rest of the patches. This is because of bug #174080. Upstream claims 'it is a configuration problem' and I claim that the sidebar patch is braindamaged and so it is going the way of the dodo. Since people seem to use it anyway, you'll be able to use it with USE=sidebar in the next mutt's release. - ferdy -- Fernando J.

I'm okay with removing muttng from the tree. Some weeks ago I tested the old mutt again, but unfortunately not all patches work the same like in muttng. Especially the sidebar-patch which made my life easier. But it seems the project is really dead. Last mail on their list is months old and the latest commit almost a year ago. It's easy to convert back your config-files to mutt, but avoid the rare pitfalls ;-) Regards, Lars -- Lars Weiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +49-171-1963258 Instant Messaging : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Linux PowerPC : Developer Gentoo Infrastructure : CVS Administrator pgpFzkDSgP5J6.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-dev] Intentions to remove mail-client/muttng from the tree
Hi all, mail-client/muttng currently sits in the tree as some sort of orphan. It used to be a fork of Mutt, having many patches applied, features added and code cleaned up. However, at a certain point the project died, one of the main developers went back to Mutt and applied his patches there. Currently most of these patches are applied in Mutt's sources, or patches have been made to work with Mutt. Some have even improved a lot (e.g. SMTP support is native in Mutt, while it uses libesmtp in muttng). Current state of muttng is a bit vague. It tries to be a collection of patches against the latest development version of Mutt. However, since the latest svn release of muttng, I have never updated the package, as I don't really know what can or should be released from it. The result is IMO bitrot, and bugs/security holes are not fixed. Additionally, Mutt seems to have superceeded muttng by now. For this reason I would like to drop muttng from the tree (in a normal procedure, of course). I know at least one Gentoo (Security) dev seems to use muttng instead of mutt currently. If someone knows how life for muttng should continue, feel free to take over the package. If you are using muttng now, consider moving to the latest Mutt. Please speak up now if there are major reasons to keep muttng in the tree, despite being unmaintained and out of date. -- Fabian Groffen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
