I would like to work against a checkout of the current CVS, and expect it'll be easy to find instructions for doing that checkout. Should i just send the diff (along with a ChangeLog entry) for the converged (and fixed) version to the list of addresses in this conversation? Yes, that is the best way. Also please send text for etc/NEWS describing any user-visible changes that are worth mentioning. In the long run, i would like to become more active maintaining allout, Thank you, that will be useful. and wonder what the common practice is for applying changes to code that's part of the main distribution. I welcome pointers to guidelines, etc. If you do it only occasionally, you can mail your diffs, change logs, and etc/NEWS text to emacs-devel@gnu.org and ask someone to install them. If you do it often, we could give you write access to the repository.
