Hello, I would like to work on the new upstream version of AUCTeX, there are several things I wish to discuss first
- there are two version, 1. the main AUCTeX site give me 11.89[1] 2. GNU elpa has 11.89.7[2] It seem more logical to use the latter, but it will change the source of the .orig - speaking about elpa, it would be neat to convert the packaging to dh-elpa[3][4] (even more if our upstream is GNU elpa). That said, AUCTeX look like a relatively complex package, so the conversion might not be simple, so I might pass on this if it appear it is too complex (but dh-elpa is simple) - Also I didn't yet look at why eperl was needed, could you give me any lead before I dive into history? - speaking about tooling, what tool are you using for maintaining AUCTeX, so I could coordinate with it? - I would also like to add myself to the uploader field, to make such a big change not a NMU - For now, I will continue to use my anonscm.debian.org git repo[5], but it might be simpler to use collab-maint as git repository, if you agree on it. If you have any comment, veto on part (or all) of this, work in progress, anything I look forward to collaborate with you. 1: https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-unix.html 2: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex.html 3: https://packages.debian.org/sid/dh-elpa 4: https://pkg-emacsen.alioth.debian.org/elpa-hello/ 5: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/vanicat/auctex.git/ -- Rémi Vanicat
