It looks like Marcus Harnisch updated the XEmacs version to upstream revision 463 back in January. He would probably have a better chance than I would of not botching a move to revision 502. Plus, I'd have no idea how to test the result since I am entirely ignorant of Verilog. Ugh, it looks like we have some GPLv2 versus GPLv3 issues with that file. Let me talk to the other developers about what we can do. > However it is a bit confusing of shipping verilog-mode twice (now > thrice with my emacs-verilog-mode package). Can't there be only one > common verilog-mode or other .el files for both emacs and xemacs ? No. The .el files are the source code. Both editors byte compile that source code into a .elc file, but their byte codes diverged some years back. Some distributions have tried to share code between the two, with invariably disastrous results for one editor or the other. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
