  1. This file details the Debian specific changes to Emacs.
  2. The following tags may be used in the sections below: Patch, Status,
  3. Author, Added-by, Provided-by, and Date. When known, Author is used
  4. to indicate the person believed to have written the relevant code.
  5. Provided-by may be used to indicate the person who submitted the code
  6. to Debian, and Added-by indicates the person who actually added the
  7. code to the Debian package.
  8. * The Debian copy of the upstream source contains no .elc files.
  9. The .elc files have been removed because we always regenerate them
  10. and because Emacs modifies them in the source tree during the build
  11. process, even when using a VPATH build. This means that a "make
  12. clean" can't easily return the tree to the upstream state, resulting
  13. in a giant Debian binary diff. There are other solutions if this
  14. turns out to be a problem. If nothing else, we can keep the current
  15. infrastructure and just add the .elc files to protected_files in
  16. debian/rules. Removing the .elc files doesn't affect whether or not
  17. our source archive would match the upstream md5sum because we have
  18. to repackage it anyway to add leim support.
  19. * Those who prefer the old-style scrollbars can edit debian/rules
  20. If you prefer the old-style, non-toolkit scrollbars, just edit
  21. debian/rules to add --without-toolkit-scrollbars where indicated and
  22. rebuild.
