I would send you what is needed for emacs.app*.deb packages. Do
you think we can do this?

Well, I'm still not sure I want to tie myself to the gnustep
libraries in this way; updating the snapshot on a weekly basis is in
itself a significant undertaking and the number of users interested
in a gnustep build is probably very low.

As I'm sure you realize, emacs-snapshot is not in Debian and its
packaging is different from the one used by the emacs22 maintainer
(who will probably also maintain emacs23 in Debian once it's
released).  Having an emacs.app package in emacs-snapshot will not
help you much on the way to having it in Debian.  (It would,
however, help in Ubuntu since Debian's emacs packages are not used
there.)

that's fine for me. i guess it's fine to build a separate emacs.app package,
as mentioned in #299324. i don't want a gnustep emacs build called -snapshot
it'll just be emacs.app version 23.0.x (source being taken from cvs).
i don't care about ubuntu if i'm honest.

yours,
guerkan
