thanks


Please find attached a patch that updates mixal-mode.el with latest
changes in GNU MDK.  I should have papers in place for emacs.

Do you think it'd be better if i just dropped that file from MDK's
tarball and maintain it by submitting patches here instead?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks!  The patch looks good to me.

I can only see one previous commit from you (marked
"Copyright-paperwork-exempt") in the git log, so I'll wait for someone
with access to verify the copyright status.  (OTOH, maybe it doesn't
matter since these changes are already assigned to the FSF via GNU MDK?)

I guess it depends on if your users can wait for the changes until the
next major Emacs release, or if you feel that it would be beneficial to
get the changes out there earlier than that.  Orthogonally, one could
perhaps consider if this should be distributed as a GNU ELPA package.

In all cases, it would be very helpful if you could submit patches here
when there are any changes.

> Thanks a lot!

Thanks for handling this very promptly!

I do have access to fencepost and to the copyright file (sorry for being
lazy!).  Just checked, and i'm on file for "GUILE" and for 
"EMACS EMMS"... i am pretty sure that means EMACS /and/ EMMS, so i think
we're fine :)

We release less frequently than Emacs, so i am guessing users (all three
of them!) will be fine either way.  On practical terms, GNU ELPA would
be my less preferred option, since it'd add yet another repo/project to
maintain.

Yes, that's no problem.  I am not the original author of the mode, so
back in the day I didn't pay attention, but my elisp skills have
improved enough in the intervening 20 years and i'm happy to take care
of it now :)

Cheers,
jao

Jose's copyright paperwork is on file.

I'm not sure.  I don't understand the semantics of "EMACS EMMS", I
think it might mean the assignment is limited to EMMS.

I will ask the copyright clerk.

I assumed that that was a list of things that were assigned, not a
subset.  For instance, there's entries like

GDB BINUTILS GLIBC

and

GCC GNULIB

and

AUTOCONF AUTOMAKE BINUTILS COREUTILS DejaGNU EMACS FINDUTILS GCC GMP GZIP GDB GLIBC MAKE MPFR TAR TEXINFO

I prefer to be sure we don't misinterpret what that says.

OK, sounds good to me.

Thanks!  Should you want to make it more official, feel free to send a
patch to update the "Maintainer" field with your name and email address.

BTW, we are trying to push to convert code to use the new lexical scope.
If you find some time, it would be great if you could test the attached
patch that enables it for mixal-mode.el.  (It would be hard for me to
verify that it works since I don't use GNU MDK myself.)

FWIW, i've checked my archives and i do have separate PDFs with
assignments for EMMS and EMACS.  Happy to send them off-list if you need
to.

No, this information is enough for me, thanks.  Your changes can be

I've played with it a bit and there's no obvious problem with the switch
(this is just a mode for an assembly-like language without fancy
stuff).  Please feel free to install the patch.
