I have no problem with that -- I'm already enjoying the advantages I wanted from writing that code, anyway. Just out of curiosity: do you have already any schedule or estimation of when the FSF will consider adding Vimpulse to the official Emacs distribution?
I don't know. IMO it's still too buggy, so they shouldn't include it.
... I realized that in Emacs 22 the function activate-mark does not exist, so we'll have to take care of that difference. Besides that one detail, my modifications seem to be working fine there too.
Thanks for retesting. It would be appreciated if you would try XEmacs too. It's a small download if you have broadband Internet access; only about 5-10 MB.
I do use SVN on a regular basis, at work as well as for keeping my own stuff, just let me know the repository URL (the only version of Vimpulse I know is the one I got from the Emacs Wiki) and I can patch that. I've never used Gentoo though, so I have no idea how to use emerge, nor how does it relate to SVN besides installing it in the local box (or were you talking about something different?)
There's a link to our repo and bugtracker at http://www.assembla.com/spaces/vimpulse -- in fact, I think it would be best if you would send your patch to the bugtracker instead of to the mailing list. That way, it is guaranteed not to get lost. But if you do submit the next version of your patch to the mailing list, please send a mail to the mailing list telling us it is now there. The emerge I was talking about is not the Gentoo package installation script. The emerge I meant is part of ediff. I believe it might let you more easily apply your patch to the SVN version of Vimpulse. Check the Emacs manual for more info.
