Some of the patches referred to below may follow DEP-3 format (https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/). -* The Debian copy of the upstream source contains no .elc files. - - The .elc files have been removed because we always regenerate them - and because Emacs modifies them in the source tree during the build - process, even when using a VPATH build. This means that a "make - clean" can't easily return the tree to the upstream state, resulting - in a giant Debian binary diff. There are other solutions if this - turns out to be a problem. If nothing else, we can keep the current - infrastructure and just add the .elc files to protected_files in - debian/rules. Removing the .elc files doesn't affect whether or not - our source archive would match the upstream md5sum because we have - to repackage it anyway to add leim support. - * Those who prefer the old-style scrollbars can edit debian/rules If you prefer the old-style, non-toolkit scrollbars, just edit -- 2.30.2
