*xemacs-gamma-21.4.7 (7 May 2002)

xemacs-gamma-21.4.7.ebuild, files/Xemacs.desktop-gentoo.patch,
files/digest-xemacs-gamma-21.4.7, files/emodules.info-gentoo.patch :
XEmacs "gamma" ebuild. New ebuild.
From http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/index.html#Gamma:
"The gamma series of releases is satisfactorily stable for most
sophisticated users. Most Linux or *BSD users should get the best
results from the gamma series, and we strongly recommend it to the
``tester'' distributions like NetBSD current, Debian sid, Mandrake
Cooker, Red Hat Rawhide, and so on. XEmacs will be ready when they
are!"
"The gamma series of releases is the candidate for promotion to a
stable series. Although we do not promote the code base to gamma
while there are known critical bugs in the code base, to attempt to
meet schedules we also do promote fairly quickly once we've fixed
the last known critical bug. Everybody does this, and everybody
knows that despite the best efforts of the developers, ``point oh''
releases typically still have bugs in them. The gamma concept simply
acknowledges this."
"The gamma concept allows us to expand our tester base substantially
beyond our dedicated beta testers, while warning the administrators
or users that we still acknowledge some risk of more or less serious
bugs we don't yet know about. It also offers the kinds of users who
use ``tester'' Linux distributions a much more featureful
application with low, but not absolutely minimal, risk."
"The gamma series receives active attention on a daily basis from
the core developers. Important bugs that do not imply data loss,
including problems with font-locking in C and Lisp modes will be
addressed in the gamma series. Low-risk fixes that provide most of
the missing functionality are the priority. The primary goal is
strictly increasing stability. Improved functionality consistent
with improving stability is secondary, and basically limited to the
as-yet immature MS Windows port. All changes must be approved by the
21.4 Release Manager, Stephen Turnbull."
"Users of the gamma series should read the release announcement, and
the NEWS and PROBLEMS files carefully, as many of the known issues
will not yet be reflected in the FAQ or Info documentation."
