adding new file to CVS at this stage

adding new file to CVS at this stage

[Glenn Morris]

I was hoping to add a new file (lisp/calendar/cal-html.el) to the CVS
before the release. RMS okayed it this week, but that was before the
pretest. Have I missed the boat, or is it still ok to install it now?
I have all the other necessary changes (manual etc) ready.

TIA.

I am in the same boat. In my case it probably will not disturb anything 
(if it is added correctly to the CVS) since it is a new version of the 
tutorial.

I would appreciate if someone could help me adding this to the CVS.

If RMS okayed it, go ahead and check it in.  There aren't any
particular problems with adding new files (beyond ordinary feature
freeze considerations), since the pretest tarballs will be generated
from CVS.

Thanks, installed. I also updated: etc/NEWS, man/ack.texi, and AUTHORS
with the appropriate entries. If I forgot to do anything, please let
me know.

Like others, I am hoping to update a file, in this case the
Introduction to Emacs Lisp.

My updating is taking longer than I expected because more `simple'
functions changed than I had thought.  I hope to finish in a few days.

Could you please check in your changes day by day?
Please don't wait until you have finished the whole job
to check them in.

My earlier changes produced text that is unreadable; but I have
finally produced a clean copy.  I have checked that in.  It needs
checking.  It builds fine for Info and TeX.  Please look at it.  In
theory, the book has now been revised.  However, I made many more
changes than I expected -- as I said, more `simple' functions changed
than I had thought.

I am going to do even more tomorrow.

Spurious info files in CVS

[Chong Yidong]

The compiled Info files eintr eintr-1 eintr-2, and eintr-3 were just
added to CVS.  This can't be right; Info files are automatically
regenerated from the Texinfo sources during `make info', and aren't
included in CVS.

My mistake.  I've removed them.

    ... Info files are automatically regenerated from the Texinfo sources
    during `make info' ...

That is right.  That's what I did but I forgot.
