How to Help

More detailed information is forthcoming, but in the short term, if you'd like to help with the XEmacs development effort, do the following:

  1. Download the latest beta release, or (better) go to ../Develop/cvsaccess.html and follow the instructions to get an up-to-date CVS tree of the XEmacs source.

  2. Install it.

  3. Join the xemacs-beta mailing list.

  4. Find bugs.

  5. Fix them.

  6. Submit patches to the xemacs-patches mailing list.

    The rules for creating and submitting patches are set forth in etc/BETA (look for Creating patches for submission in documentation accessed via M-x describe-beta)

    You may find the cvs-mods perl script useful to create your patches.

    If you only leave XEmacs to go to bed, then patcher is for you. Please install the xemacs-devel package which it is part of. Please see the patcher.el sources for usage instructions until it is properly documented in XEmacs info.
