New format of AUTHORS file; list each
author name once followed by contributed and changed files.
Improve selection of entries to include in list, and generate list
of unrecognized entries indicating syntax errors in ChangeLog files.
(authors-coding-system): New variable.
(authors-many-files): Update doc string.
(authors-aliases): Change format. Now one entry with multiple
aliases per author.
(authors-valid-file-names, authors-renamed-files-alist)
(authors-renamed-files-regexps): New variables.
(authors-canonical-file-name): New function. Validates that file
exists or occurs in one of the above lists. Record unrecognized
file names in global authors-invalid-file-names list.
(authors-add): Change to record per-change counts.
(authors-canonical-author-name): Handle new format of
authors-aliases list.
(authors-scan-change-log): Rename FILE arg to LOG-FILE.
Change doc string to describe new entry format.
Only add author entries for valid file names.
(authors-print): Replace by authors-add-to-author-list.
(authors-add-to-author-list): New function which reorders
per-file entries and adds them to global authors-author-list.
(authors): Instead of authors-print to insert in *Authors* buffer,
use authors-add-to-author-list to reorder the list and then
insert result in *Authors* buffer with new format.
Generate *Authors Errors* compilation-mode buffer listing
unrecognized ChangeLog entries.

45852 | 1 Building and Installing Emacs from CVS |
2 | |
3 Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as | |
4 byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository. | |
5 Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap" | |
6 instead of just "make": | |
7 | |
8 $ ./configure | |
9 $ make bootstrap | |
10 | |
11 The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt | |
12 before it builds the final Emacs binary. | |
13 | |
14 Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS | |
15 update. Unless there are problems, we suggest the following | |
16 procedure: | |
17 | |
18 $ ./configure | |
19 $ make | |
20 $ cd lisp | |
21 $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs | |
22 $ cd .. | |
23 $ make | |
24 | |
25 (If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead | |
26 of "make" in the last command.) | |
27 | |
28 If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap". | |
29 | |
30 Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the | |
31 platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat, | |
32 etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is | |
33 applicable to those systems as well. | |
34 | |
35 Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS | |
36 control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el. This could produce CVS conflicts | |
37 next time that you resync with the CVS. If you see such conflicts, | |
38 overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the | |
39 CVS repository. For example: | |
40 | |
41 cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el | |
42 | |
43 Please report any bugs in the CVS versions to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org. |
