Re: Coordinating patches [was Re: Change in compile.el]

[Richard Stallman]

    What about this simple procedure:

    Before applying a 3rd party patch, a message is sent to emacs-devel
    with the subject:

In an ideal world, this might be a good idea, but I doubt it is
feasible here and now.

I asked Eli to install the patches because he said he was willing to
do that.  However, his available time has been just barely enough time
to do that.  If I were to ask him to do this extra work for each
change, the most likely result is that he'd have to say no.
