What I do with Tramp is that I merge the *.el files into the Emacs repository and then, manually, compose ChangeLog entries describing the changes. So usually the ChangeLog in the Tramp repository might have many entries between two releases, whereas the Emacs repository typically just has two entries for each release (one for Michael's changes and one for my own changes). The ChangeLog entries in the Emacs repository summarize the Tramp entries in such a way that, for example, changes made and then reverted are not described (since the intermediate version never showed up in the Emacs repository). What do people think about this? The purpose of this posting is NOT to suggest the Tramp method for everyone! I merely think it would be good if add-on packages maintained outside the Emacs CVS tree would all be handled in a similar fashion, for consistency's sake. Kai
