Hi, there are a few changes in Emacs-mode that need to be done and stuff that needs to be cleaned/fixed. I don't have what it takes to do this with large amounts of backward-compatibility in mind (and that includes XEmacs which, all-in-all, uses quite older versions and APIs of generic functions).
As one data point, I don't want to cater for Emacs versions not supporting lexical-binding (available as of Emacs 24.1) when writing new code as not being able to use closures is a real nuisance. In the medium range, I want to move LilyPond-mode to ELPA (the official package archive of Emacs) as installing packages via ELPA rather than via our own build procedure is more reliable and I have my doubts that our binary installers have much of a chance to install Emacs modes anyway. That means that without additional care, XEmacs+LilyPond will fall victim to bitrot. However, that's preferable to LilyPond-mode falling victim to bitrot on all platforms. Is that ok with people? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
