| 172 | |
| 173 If you are not subscribed to the XEmacs beta list you should be. | |
| 174 Currently all discussion of development issues, including bug reports | |
| 175 and coding discussion, takes place on the XEmacs Beta mailing list. | |
| 176 Only patches and administrative actions regarding patches are sent | |
| 177 elsewhere (to the XEmacs Patches list). | |

| 182 | |
| 183 XEmacs Patches records proposed changes to XEmacs, and their | |
| 184 disposition. It is open subscription, and all patches that are | |
| 185 seriously proposed for inclusion in XEmacs should be posted here. You | |
| 186 can follow progress of your patch by subscribing to the mailing list | |
| 187 or in the archives. | |
| 188 | |
| 189 Besides patches, only actions by members of the XEmacs Review Board | |
| 190 should be posted to this list. All discussion should be redirected to | |
| 191 XEmacs Beta or XEmacs Design. | |

| 195 @subsection XEmacs Design Mailing List | |
| 196 | |
| 197 XEmacs Design is for design discussions such as adding major features | |
| 198 or whole modules, or reimplementation of existing functions, to XEmacs. | |

| 202 | |
| 203 In the descriptions below, the word LIST (all uppercase) is a | |
| 204 variable. Substitute "beta", "design", or "patches" as appropriate | |
| 205 (to get "xemacs-beta" as the mailbox for the XEmacs Beta mailing list, | |
| 206 or @uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Lists/#xemacs-beta} for its URL). | |
| 207 | |
| 208 The XEmacs mailing lists are managed by the Mailman mailing list package, | |
| 209 and the usual Mailman commands work. Do not send mailing list requests to | |
| 210 the main address (@uref{mailto:xemacs-LIST@@xemacs.org}), always send them | |
| 211 to @uref{mailto:xemacs-LIST-request@@xemacs.org}. If you have problems with | |
| 212 the list itself, they should be brought to the attention of the XEmacs | |
| 213 Mailing List manager @uref{mailto:list-manager@@xemacs.org} (the same | |
| 214 mailbox, "list-manager", for all lists). All public mailing lists have | |
| 215 searchable archives. The URL is | |
| 216 | |
| 217 @uref{http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-LIST} | |
| 218 | |

| 2537 | 246 @section Beta Release Schedule |
| 247 | |
| 248 We would like to achieve a weekly or fortnightly release cycle (you | |
| 249 know the Open Source model: release early, release often), and in a | |
| 250 perfect world that would indeed be the case. There are at least three | |
| 251 things that often get in the way of that goal: 1) The Release Manager | |
| 252 has a life outside of XEmacs (hard to believe, I know, but true), | |
| 253 2) we like to make releases that will build (at least on the Release | |
| 254 Manager's box), and 3) Murphy likes to throw a spanner in the works | |
| 255 right when you least expect it (Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong, | |
| 256 will go wrong). | |
| 257 | |
| 258 If you'd like to keep right up to date and ride the bleeding edge, use | |
| 259 CVS (see @uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html}). If you | |
| 260 can't use CVS for some reason and must use FTP, please let us know. | |
| 261 it will make it more likely that we release betas more often. | |

| 2537 | 294 @section Building an XEmacs from patches |
| 295 | |
| 3388 | 296 All beta releases of XEmacs provide patches from the previous version as |
| 297 an alternative to keep bandwidth requirements down. These patches are | |
| 298 actually scripts generated by the @file{makepatch} program, and can be | |
| 299 run if you have the @file{applypatch} program. Patches may also be | |
| 300 applied with the GNU patch program in something like the following. | |
| 301 Let's say you're upgrading XEmacs 21.5-beta9 to XEmacs 21.5-beta10 and | |
| 302 you have a full unmodified XEmacs 21.5-beta9 source tree to work with. | |
| 303 Change to the top level directory and issue the shell command: | |
| 2537 | 304 |
| 305 @example | |
| 306 $ gunzip -c /tmp/xemacs-21.5.9-21.5.10.patch.gz | patch -p1 | |
| 307 @end example | |
| 308 | |
| 309 After patching, check to see that no patches were missed by doing | |
| 310 | |
| 311 @example | |
| 312 $ find . -name \*.rej -print | |
| 313 @end example | |
| 314 | |
| 315 Any rejections should be treated as serious problems to be resolved | |
| 316 before building XEmacs. | |
| 317 | |
| 318 After seeing that there were no rejections, issue the commands | |
| 319 | |
| 320 @example | |
| 321 $ ./config.status --recheck | |
| 322 $ make beta > ./beta.err 2>&1 | |
| 323 $ make check > ./xemacs-make-check.err 2>&1 | |
| 324 @end example | |
| 325 | |
| 326 Redirect the output from make to those files because you'll use them | |
| 327 later when you send off a build report with @kbd{M-x build-report RET} | |

| 330 @node Building XEmacs from a full distribution, , Building an XEmacs from patches, Building Beta XEmacs | |
| 2537 | 331 @section Building XEmacs from a full distribution |
| 332 | |
| 333 @enumerate | |
| 334 @item | |
| 3388 | 335 Locate a convenient place where you have at least 200MB of free space |
| 336 (approximately 100MB for sources and compiled Lisp, and 100MB for | |
| 337 objects and other generated files) and issue the command | |
| 2537 | 338 |
| 339 @example | |
| 340 $ gunzip -c /tmp/xemacs-21.5.10.tar.gz | tar xvf - | |
| 341 @end example | |
| 342 | |
| 343 (or simply @code{tar zxvf /tmp/xemacs-21.5.10.tar.gz} if you use GNU tar). | |
| 344 | |
| 345 @item | |
| 346 cd to the top level directory and issue an appropriate configure | |
| 347 command. | |
| 348 | |
| 349 @item | |
| 350 Run @code{configure}. If you are new, just consider running it with no | |
| 4312 | 351 options, to see if you can get a successful build. When you are more |
| 2537 | 352 experienced, you should put various flags in. Here is what we suggest: |
| 353 | |
| 354 @enumerate | |
| 355 @item | |
| 356 It's a good idea to use | |
| 357 | |
| 358 @example | |
| 2647 | 359 --enable-debug |
| 360 --enable-memory-usage-stats | |
| 361 --enable-error-checking=all | |
| 2537 | 362 @end example |
| 363 | |
| 364 These turn on extra debugging info and checks. The last one in particular | |
| 365 will add a great deal of extra error-checking -- which will slow your XEmacs | |
| 366 down somewhat but is likely to catch bugs much sooner and make your bug | |
| 367 reports much more useful. | |
| 368 | |
| 369 @item | |
| 370 You should also strongly consider | |
| 371 | |
| 372 @example | |
| 2647 | 373 --enable-mule |
| 374 --enable-kkcc | |
| 375 --enable-pdump | |
| 376 --enable-clash-detection | |
| 2537 | 377 --with-wmcommand |
| 378 --with-xfs | |
| 379 @end example | |
| 380 | |
| 381 These turn on optional features, which can always use testing. | |
| 382 | |
| 383 @item | |
| 384 If you have gcc, consider using | |
| 385 | |
| 386 @example | |
| 2647 | 387 --with-compiler=gcc |
| 388 --with-xemacs-compiler=g++ | |
| 2537 | 389 @end example |
| 390 | |
| 3388 | 391 This will compile XEmacs using g++, which is generally much stricter |
| 392 about type-checking than C compilers like gcc. | |
| 2537 | 393 |
| 394 @item | |
| 395 If your packages are not installed under /usr/local, you should add a | |
| 396 line like | |
| 397 | |
| 398 @example | |
| 2647 | 399 --with-package-path=~/.xemacs::/xemacs/site-packages:/xemacs/xemacs-packages:/xemacs/mule-packages |
| 2537 | 400 @end example |
| 401 | |
| 402 @item | |
| 403 If you want to build multiple configurations from the same source | |
| 404 tree, make separate build directories for each configuration, run | |
| 405 @code{configure} from the top level of these (currently empty) | |
| 406 directories and use an option like | |
| 407 | |
| 408 @example | |
| 409 --srcdir=/xemacs/source-tree | |
| 410 @end example | |
| 411 | |
| 412 (or wherever your source tree is). This will magically create symlinks and | |
| 413 populate your build directory. | |
| 414 | |
| 415 @item | |
| 2647 | 416 Use --with-site-prefixes (or --with-site-includes and |
| 417 ---with-site-libraries) if you have some packages that XEmacs can | |
| 418 compile with that are located in an unusual place. For example: | |
| 2537 | 419 |
| 420 @example | |
| 2647 | 421 --with-site-prefixes=/usr/local/pgsql:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1 |
| 2537 | 422 @end example |
| 423 | |
| 424 @item | |
| 4312 | 425 Depending on your build environment, consider setting or not setting |
| 2537 | 426 options for menubars, scrollbars, window systems, native sound, etc. If |
| 427 you're not sure, leave them out and let configure do the auto-detection. | |
| 428 (If you get bugs compiling GTK, use @code{--with-gtk=no --with-gnome=no}.) | |
| 429 | |
| 430 Part of the configure output is a summary that looks something | |
| 431 like the following. (this summary is also available as the file | |
| 432 'Installation' in the top directory of your build tree, and via | |
| 433 the command @kbd{M-x describe-installation RET}). | |
| 434 | |

| 580 | |
| 581 Starting with XEmacs 21.1, much of the functionality of XEmacs has | |
| 582 been unbundled into "the packages." For more information about the | |
| 583 package system, see the Info nodes on Packages (in the XEmacs User | |
| 584 Manual) and on Packaging (in the Lisp Reference). | |
| 585 | |
| 586 When bootstrapping XEmacs, you may need to manually install some | |
| 587 packages (at least xemacs-base and efs). These packages are available | |
| 588 by FTP at @uref{ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/}. | |

| 599 | |
| 600 Prerequisite: XEmacs 21.0-b1. | |
| 601 | |
| 602 Binary packages are complete entities that can be untarred at the top | |
| 603 level of an XEmacs package hierarchy and work at runtime. To install files | |
| 604 in this directory, run the command @kbd{M-x package-admin-add-binary-package} | |
| 605 and fill in appropriate values to the prompts. | |

| 612 | |
| 613 When adding and deleting files from a lisp directory the | |
| 614 auto-autoloads.el (global symbols) and custom-load.el (Customization | |
| 615 groups) must be kept in synch. Assuming one is manipulating a | |
| 616 directory called `lisp-utils', the command to rebuild the | |
| 617 auto-autoloads.el file is: | |
| 618 | |
| 619 @example | |
| 620 xemacs -vanilla -batch \ | |
| 621 -eval \("setq autoload-package-name \"lisp-utils\""\) \ | |
| 622 -f batch-update-directory lisp-utils | |
| 623 @end example | |
| 624 | |
| 625 The command to rebuild the custom-load.el file is: | |
| 626 | |
| 627 @example | |
| 628 xemacs -vanilla -batch -f Custom-make-dependencies lisp-utils | |
| 629 @end example | |
| 630 | |
| 631 To byte-compile both of these files the command is: | |
| 632 | |
| 633 @example | |
| 634 xemacs -vanilla -batch -f batch-byte-compile \ | |
| 635 lisp-utils/auto-autoloads.el lisp-utils/custom-load.el | |
| 636 @end example | |
| 637 | |
| 638 Of course, being a beta tester, you'd be aware that it is much easier | |
| 639 to manage your XEmacs packages with PUI. | |

| 692 @node Reporting Problems, Improving XEmacs, Packages, Top | |
| 693 @section Reporting Problems | |
| 694 | |
| 695 The best way to get problems fixed in XEmacs is to submit good problem | |
| 696 reports, @kbd{M-x report-xemacs-bug RET} will help you do this (assuming | |
| 697 you have a usable XEmacs). Since this is beta software, problems are | |
| 698 certain to exist. Please read through all of part II of the XEmacs | |
| 699 FAQ for an overview of problem reporting. | |
| 700 @xref{Installation, Installation and Troubleshooting, , xemacs-faq}. | |
| 701 The most relevant parts are in section 2.4, General Troubleshooting. | |
| 702 @c #### Why doesn't this link work? | |
| 703 @c @ref{Q2.4.1, General Troubleshooting, , xemacs-faq}. | |
| 704 Other items which are most important are: | |
| 705 | |
| 706 @enumerate | |
| 707 @item | |
| 708 Do not submit C stack backtraces without line numbers. Since it | |
| 709 is possible to compile optimized with debug information with GCC | |
| 710 it is never a good idea to compile XEmacs without the -g flag. | |
| 711 XEmacs runs on a variety of platforms, and often it is not | |
| 712 possible to recreate problems which afflict a specific platform. | |
| 713 The line numbers in the C stack backtrace help isolate where the | |
| 714 problem is actually occurring. | |
| 715 | |
| 716 @item | |
| 717 Attempt to recreate the problem starting with an invocation of | |
| 718 XEmacs with @code{xemacs -no-autoloads}. Quite often, problems are | |
| 719 due to package interdependencies, and the like. An actual bug | |
| 720 in XEmacs should be reproducible in a default configuration | |
| 721 without loading any special packages (or the one or two specific | |
| 722 packages that cause the bug to appear). If you have trouble | |
| 723 getting anything to work at all with the above invocation, use | |
| 724 @code{xemacs -vanilla} instead. If you need to load your user init | |
| 725 file or the site file to get the problem to occur, then it has | |
| 726 something to do with them, and you should try to isolate the | |
| 727 issue in those files. | |
| 728 | |
| 729 @item | |
| 730 A picture can be worth a thousand words. When reporting an | |
| 731 unusual display, it is generally best to capture the problem in a | |
| 732 screen dump and include that with the problem report. The easiest | |
| 733 way to get a screen dump is to use the xv program and its grab | |

| 750 | |
| 751 All patches to XEmacs that are seriously proposed for inclusion (eg, | |
| 752 bug fixes) should be mailed to @uref{mailto:xemacs-patches@@xemacs.org}. Each | |
| 753 patch will be reviewed by the patches review board, and will be | |
| 754 acknowledged and added to the distribution, or rejected with an | |
| 755 explanation. Progress of the patch is tracked on the XEmacs Patches | |
| 756 mailing list, which is open subscription. (If a patch is simply | |
| 757 intended to facilitate discussion, "I mean something that works like | |
| 758 this but this is really rough", a Cc to XEmacs Patches is optional, | |
| 759 but doesn't hurt.) | |
| 760 | |
| 761 Patches to XEmacs Lisp packages should be sent to the maintainer of | |
| 762 the package. If the maintainer is listed as `XEmacs Development Team' | |
| 763 patches should be sent to @uref{mailto:xemacs-patches@@xemacs.org}. | |
| 764 | |
| 765 Emailed patches should preferably be sent in MIME format and quoted | |
| 766 printable encoding (if necessary). | |
| 767 | |
| 768 The simplest way to create well-formed patches is to use CVS and | |
| 769 Didier Verna's Patcher library (available as patcher.el in the | |
| 770 xemacs-devel package). Patcher is new and requires some setup, but | |
| 771 most of the core developers are now using it for their own patches. | |
| 772 Patcher also can be configured to create patches for several projects, | |
| 773 and recognize the project from the directory it is invoked in. This | |
| 774 makes it a useful general tool (as long as XEmacs-style patches are | |
| 775 accepted at your other projects, which is likely since they conform to | |
| 776 the GNU standards). | |
| 777 | |
| 778 When making patches by hand, please use the `-u' option, or if your | |
| 779 diff doesn't support it, `-c'. Using ordinary (context-free) diffs | |
| 780 are notoriously prone to error, since line numbers tend to change when | |
| 781 others make changes to the same source file. | |
| 782 | |
| 783 An example of the `diff' usage: | |
| 784 | |
| 785 @example | |
| 786 $ diff -u OLDFILE NEWFILE | |
| 787 @end example | |
| 788 | |
| 789 -or- | |
| 790 | |
| 791 @example | |
| 792 $ diff -c OLDFILE NEWFILE | |
| 793 @end example | |
| 794 | |
| 795 Also, it is helpful if you create the patch in the top level of the | |
| 796 XEmacs source directory: | |
| 797 | |
| 798 @example | |
| 799 $ cp -p lwlib/xlwmenu.c lwlib/xlwmenu.c.orig | |
| 800 hack, hack, hack.... | |
| 801 $ diff -u lwlib/xlwmenu.c.orig lwlib/xlwmenu.c | |
| 802 @end example | |
| 803 | |
| 804 Also note that if you cut & paste from an xterm to an XEmacs mail | |
| 805 buffer you will probably lose due to tab expansion. The best thing to | |
| 806 do is to use an XEmacs shell buffer to run the diff commands, or ... | |
| 807 @kbd{M-x cd} to the appropriate directory, and issue the command | |
| 808 @kbd{C-u M-!} from within XEmacs. | |
| 809 | |
| 810 Patches should be as single-minded as possible. Mammoth patches can | |
| 811 be very difficult to place into the right slot. They are much easier | |
| 812 to deal with when broken down into functional or conceptual chunks. | |
| 813 The patches submitted by Kyle Jones and Hrvoje Niksic are stellar | |
| 814 examples of how to "Do The Right Thing". | |
| 815 | |
| 816 Each patch should be accompanied by an update to the appropriate | |
| 817 ChangeLog file. Guidelines for writing ChangeLog entries is governed | |
| 818 by the GNU coding standards. Please see | |
| 819 @uref{http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html} [Change Logs section] | |
| 820 for details. | |
| 821 | |
| 822 Do not submit context diffs (either -c or -u) of ChangeLogs. Because | |
| 823 of the "stack" nature of ChangeLogs (new entries are always pushed on | |
| 824 the top), context diffs will fail to apply more often than they | |
| 825 succeed. Simply cutting and pasting the entry from an Emacs buffer to | |
| 826 the mail buffer (beware of tab expansion!) is probably easiest. The | |
| 827 Patcher library also will set up your ChangeLogs for you, and copy | |
| 828 them to the mail. Context-less unified diffs (-U 0) are also | |
| 829 acceptable. | |

| 836 @subsection Patch discussion etiquette | |
| 837 | |
| 838 If you intend a patch for _application_ to the sources as is, _always_ | |
| 839 post it to xemacs-patches, even if there are minor points you would | |
| 840 like to have discussed by others. Not doing so will resulting in | |
| 841 patches getting "lost". If you expect that the patch will not be | |
| 842 acceptable, but are using it to stimulate discussion, then don't post | |
| 843 to xemacs-patches. Intermediate cases are up to your judgment; | |
| 844 unless you're sure you'll follow up with a "real" patch, better to err | |
| 845 on the side of posting to xemacs-patches. | |
| 846 | |
| 847 Discussion of the _content_ of the patch (ie responses to reviewer | |
| 848 comments beyond "that's right, ok, I'll do it your way") should _always_ | |
| 849 be posted to xemacs-beta or to xemacs-design. If you're not sure | |
| 850 which is more appropriate, send it to xemacs-beta. That is the most | |
| 851 widely read channel. | |
| 852 | |
| 853 If discussion results in a bright idea and you come up with a new | |
| 854 patch, normally you should post it to both mailing lists. The people | |
| 855 discussing on XEmacs Beta will want to know the outcome of the thread, | |
| 856 and you need to submit to XEmacs Patches as the "list of record." | |
| 857 | |
| 858 If the old patch has been applied to CVS, then just submit the new one | |
| 859 as usual. If it has not been applied, then it is best to submit a new | |
| 860 patch against CVS. If possible do this as a reply to the original | |
| 861 patch post, or something following it in the thread. (The point is to | |
| 862 get the original patch post's Message-ID in your References header.) | |
| 863 In this case, also use the keyword SUPERSEDES in the Subject header to | |
| 864 indicate that the old patch is no longer valid, and that this one | |
| 865 replaces it. | |
| 866 | |
| 867 These rules will result in a fair number of cross posts, but we don't | |
| 868 yet have a better way to handle that. | |
| 869 | |
| 870 Note: Developers should never post to xemacs-patches unless there is a | |
| 871 patch in the post. We plan to enforce this with an automatic filter. | |

| 881 Perhaps you have a whole new mode, or a major synchronization with | |
| 882 upstream for a neglected package, or a synchronization with GNU Emacs | |
| 883 you would like to contribute. We welcome such contributions, but they | |
| 884 are likely to be relatively controversial, generate more comments and | |
| 885 requests for revision, and take longer to integrate. Please be | |
| 886 patient with the process. | |

| 896 | |
| 897 If a package has gotten a bit out of date, or even started to bitrot, | |
| 898 we welcome patches to synchronize it with upstream/GNU Emacs versions. | |
| 899 Most packages end up varying somewhat from their GNU origins. See | |
| 900 "Syncing with GNU Emacs" for hints. Note that if you do a reasonably | |
| 901 large amount of syncing with GNU Emacs, you should log this in the | |
| 902 file itself as well as in the ChangeLog. | |
| 903 | |
| 904 If the package is important to you, please consider becoming the | |
| 905 maintainer. (See "New packages", below.) | |

| 909 | |
| 910 If you have a new mode or other large addition that does not require | |
| 911 changes to the core, please consider submitting it as a package, and | |
| 912 becoming the maintainer. You get direct commit privileges to the | |
| 913 repository for your package, "approval" privileges for your own | |
| 914 patches as well as third party patches to your package, and some | |
| 915 degree of veto power over patches you don't like. In return, you are | |
| 916 expected to maintain friendly liaison with the upstream developer (if | |
| 917 you aren't the upstream developer), keep watch on the XEmacs Patches | |
| 918 list for relevant patches, and be available by email to other | |
| 919 developers for discussion of changes that impact your package. It's | |
| 920 also a pretty standard route to the "core" development group, where we | |
| 921 have plenty of extra work waiting for volunteers. | |
| 922 | |
| 923 You don't have to become the maintainer, but it virtually ensures | |
| 924 rapid acceptance of the package. | |
| 925 | |
| 926 For help in creating new packages, see the (rather sparse) discussions | |
| 2547 | 927 in the XEmacs User's Guide and the Lisp Reference Manual. The |
| 928 participants in the XEmacs Beta mailing list | |
| 929 @uref{mailto:xemacs-beta@@xemacs.org} and the XEmacs Package Release | |
| 930 Engineer are the most likely sources of advice. See | |
| 931 @uref{http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/jobs.html#package,jobs.html} for | |
| 932 current information about package release engineers. | |

| 936 @subsection Syncing with GNU Emacs | |
| 937 | |
| 938 Syncing with GNU Emacs is an important activity. Although each | |
| 939 version has its advantages and areas of concentration, it is very | |
| 940 desirable that common functionality share specifications and APIs. | |
| 941 When porting GNU code to XEmacs, the following points should be given | |
| 942 special attention: | |
| 943 | |
| 944 @itemize @bullet | |
| 945 @item | |
| 946 Recent GNU Emacsen cannot be built without Mule, but XEmacs can. | |
| 2547 | 947 Make sure that changes that depend on the presence of Mule are |
| 948 appropriately conditionalized, with @samp{#ifdef MULE} in C code and | |
| 949 with @samp{(featurep 'mule)} in Lisp. | |
| 2537 | 950 |
| 951 @item | |
| 952 GNU Emacs nomenclature often differs from that of XEmacs. | |
| 953 Sometimes syncing the names is desirable, other times not. | |
| 954 | |
| 955 @item | |
| 956 GNU Emacs functionality often differs from that of XEmacs. | |
| 957 Syncing functionality is often controversial. | |
| 958 @end itemize | |
| 959 | |
| 960 It is important that you let other developers know that | |
| 961 synchronization has taken place, to what degree, and when. For this | |
| 962 purpose, we use comments of the form | |
| 963 | |
| 964 @example | |
| 2547 | 965 /* Synched up with: GNU 21.3 by Stephen Turnbull */ |
| 2537 | 966 @end example |
| 967 | |
| 968 in the source file itself, as the last element of the prefatory | |
| 969 material (copyright notice and commentary). Obviously the comment | |
| 970 marker needs to be changed to leading semicolons for Lisp, but | |
| 2547 | 971 otherwise the format is the same. (Older sync comments may have ``FSF'' |
| 972 in place of ``GNU''. They're equally accurate in our opinion, but | |
| 973 Richard Stallman and other GNU developers consider the term ``FSF | |
| 974 Emacs'' ``insulting''. Please use ``GNU'' in new sync comments.) | |
| 2537 | 975 |
| 976 Of course you should note syncing as the purpose in the ChangeLog, | |
| 977 too. But entries get buried deep in the ChangeLog file, and may even | |
| 978 get moved to a separate ChangeLog.OLD file for rarely synched files. | |
| 979 | |
| 980 Rather than dates we use the version of GNU Emacs to sync to. If the | |
| 981 synchronization is partial, add a new comment describing what has | |
| 982 actually been synched, leaving the description of the last full sync | |
| 983 in place. At each full sync, remove all previous synchronization | |
| 984 comments. | |
| 985 | |
| 986 This applies to Lisp that we have broken out into packages, but | |
| 987 remains in the GNU Emacs core, as well to core Lisp in XEmacs. | |
