I understand that it could be useful, but please don't forget that each separate package requires some work to be done to release it.

Perhaps vendors who prepare the RPMs could be requested to provide such packages? _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs
