Ok, but do you suggest that people continue working on url.el in its original repository, or that they move their work to emacs CVS? If work continues in the URL repository, I think we should refrain from modifying it (at all) in the emacs repository to avoid import/merge conflicts later on. However, I would prefer if development continued in CVS emacs, so we would avoid a "split". What does the URL developers think about this? -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
