Like emacs, bash-completion, perl, python, java,= =20 etc. support in subversion. I don't really know some of these languages wel= l,=20 let alone how to best support them in gentoo. I don't mind help from those= =20 teams to get that stuff integrated and running well. Paul -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
