CHECKLIST FOR ADDING A NEW FILE TO EMACS -*- outline -*- ** Make sure the author(s) have a copyright assignment/disclaimer. ** Make sure the file matches the standard Emacs template (header format, copyright and license notice, etc). ** Make sure the filename does not cause the DOS port any problems (8+3). Run the `doschk' program like this: find /path/to/emacs -print | doschk and examine the output for DOS-related problems. The sections of output under the headings "The following files are not valid DOS file names:" and "The following resolve to the same DOS file names:" should not include any files that end up in the release tarball. ** Make the ChangeLog entry in the name of the author(s), not your own name. ** If appropriate, check that the file compiles OK and that Emacs builds fine with it. Address any compilation warnings. ** If a major contribution, consider adding an entry to the Acknowledgments in doc/emacs/emacs.texi and ack.texi. ** If appropriate, add a short NEWS entry. ** If appropriate, update make-dist (not needed with "standard" file names, eg *.el).
