That's a bug in a different package which I didn't ITP (or look at) yet, it's just GFDL docs so the simple fix would obviously be to remove the offending files. There's only one RC bug in xemacs21 itself which I've been able to see (a build fail with texinfo5) which is just a matter of typing to fix. > so, again, how will you fix the open bugs before you upload to > NEW? Which bugs are you planning to fix? > I'm looking for a hard commitment here, Mark. My general approach to these things is to fix bugs as I go. I don't have any particular plan for how I'm going to fix things I've not even looked at or looked for yet but given the lack of either development or massive changes in the underlying platform I would be astonished if there were anything insurmountable - the thing that was causing issues before was that Ohura-san wasn't spending time on the package. It's going to be quicker and simpler to actually fix the problems than to go through and make an exhaustive list and analyse them, as Lars suggested please do assume I'm going to make some reasonable effort to not upload obviously broken stuff.
