Thanks. JM> emacs-snapshot is now maintained in a Arch archive, by the means of JM> the bazaar implementation, available in Debian (personal note: I would JM> have prefered a less painful SCM but Rob and I decided to use it a JM> long time ago. I hope to switch to a better one --like Bazaar-NG--in JM> the long run, or use Darcs in the short run which works fine despite JM> its well-known flaws). The archive is located at: JM> http://people.debian.org/~jerome/arch/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a branch of your archive at http://people.debian.org/~salve/arch/[EMAIL PROTECTED] where I made some patches to allow the package to build with latest (as of yesterday) CVS checkouts. The problem I had with your archive is (primary) that the misc-unseparated.dpatch was not up-to-date, causing dpatch to fail. I started by disabling dpatch, just to see if things would have been right otherwise, then I fixed that patch and enabled it back. You might want to take a look at it, and see if you would want to merge it back. (There is also a small fix in the rules file (use [:space:] instead of an explicit list of [<SPACE><TAB>], if nothing else it will help emacs not to mess up whenever whitespace-cleanup is used), along with some insignificant white space differences.) I'm not sure if I understood correctly how to make use of your package, though. This is what I do: - cvs checkout of emacs - tla get of your debian directory in emacs/debian - fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage What would be the advantages of make-dist, along with build-emacs-snapshot and your make-dist patch? JM> An open discussion is whether/how to make it available in Debian JM> (unstable, experimental, stagging area, ...). Please comment :-) Please do. I think experimental would be the right place, at least for a while. JM> Enjoy.
