They can pull from Brams branch and get the current stable runtime tree. For maintainers two important things would change: 1) In future emails with updates go to <vim-dev AT vim dot org> instead to directly to Bram. 2) Currently each maintainer has the "master branch" of their runtimefiles at home. That led to the unfortunate situation that a maintainer could have overwritten previous fixes made to their files. The important change is in future the "master branch" is the staging repo under control of the team and you as a maintainer need to check prior to sending updates to us, that your changes are based on what is currently in the repo. This is the only way that others can fix your files, too. > > John > -- Regards, Thilo 4096R/0xC70B1A8F 721B 1BA0 095C 1ABA 3FC6 7C18 89A4 A2A0 C70B 1A8F -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
