… and part of the slang package. The tool to extract tmexpand code from
the slang files is in the slang source. But it's an one‐liner for sed.
Because this tool is missing, the makefile wouldn't work.

I use a script to build the package for the SVN. After build I do some
checks (lintian, changed files in the source tree, new/deleted files in
the new package) and run the script ../check_package. There I do
package specific tests.

No. It's not part of the source.

Wahh. =8-O What a big list. I thought this list is short. I file a bug
report against lintian. We must register jed, jed-script and xjed.

Bye, Jörg.
