I haven't commited it to cvs (sorry Peter) because I haven't got ssh and cvs in the same place yet. It would be nice to have the zsh-development-guide updated to reflect the new guidelines now that we have CVS. Also, I'm not entirely clear myself on what these new guidelines are: 1. Has there been a final solution on how we are supposed to create the ChangeLog entries. It'd be nice to have a solution that doesn't depend on using emacs (I'm more than happy to learn cvs but don't have the time, inclination or disc space to learn emacs). Is the ChangeLog modified just like any other file on the cvs server? If people can only send a patch should they still include a patch for ChangeLog? 2. Should we still post patches for everything in addition to commiting to cvs? For some things (like these AIX dependencies) it is hardly worth it. With many changes the patches are useful, particularly when they are just to functions and a recompile isn't necessary. It is also useful that patches from people such as me can get sanity checked. 3. The .distfiles thing should be mentioned. I take it that we just add and remove files from the list in it if we add and remove files?
