Personally I do not use xemacs and have not tested auctex with xemacs. Since you told me that auctex is already part of the standard xemacs lisp packages collection, I agree to terminate support for xemacs in auctex. : 2.0 Use bsd.emacs.mk. : 2.1 Depend on emacs21 by default. I agree. : 2.2 Install to emacs' version specific directory : 2.3 Add suffix for packages. : 2.4 Add stub port for emacs20 as print/auctex-emacs20. : (simply set EMACS_PORT_NAME=3Demacs20 in its Makefile) I do not see any benefits for the users. Afaik auctex (the lisp files themselves) do not depend in any way on emacsen-version. If one package fits all, why should the force users to install/upgrade different package= s for different emacsen? : 3 Remove 2-byte chars from Makefile. :=20 I do not understand what you mean by '2-byte chars'. If you are suggesting to replace the broken-bars (=A6) with an ascii character like semicolon (;) - well, I do not have any objections. : No.2 in above is to arrange auctec port like other emacs lisp : ports e.g. speedbar,ecb,tramp, etc. : I think uniformity of ports is not as important as ease of use. As I pointed out above, the possibility of sharing one installed auctex packag= e among different emacs version is convenient for users. =20 : Would you give me some comment or approval for my proposal, please? :=20 Finally thank you for pointing out, that ".if exists(${LOCALBASE}/bin/xemacs)" is ineffective, because of wrong placement inside the Makefile. If we drop xemacs support we do not need this code fragment any more.
