Corrected tarballs for Emacs 23.2 and 23.3

GNU Emacs 23.2 and 23.3 were released without some grammar files from
which the parsers used in its CEDET component were generated.  These
grammar files should have been included, as they constitute part of the
real source code.  New versions of the tarballs, marked 23.2a and 23.3a,
were uploaded, but David Engster noticed that two grammar files were
still inadvertently omitted (the grammar for the grammars themselves,
and a grammar used in the Srecode part of CEDET).

I have uploaded corrected 23.2b and 23.3b tarballs, with those grammar
files added, to the GNU FTP server at

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.2b.tar.bz2
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.2b.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.3b.tar.bz2
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.3b.tar.gz

All redistributors are urged to upgrade to these revised releases.
Their md5sums are:

  96a05f185ac32eccff7b06ba67808a80  emacs-23.2b.tar.gz
  f6bec0cdce31a40e879a8b7355d016fd  emacs-23.2b.tar.bz2
  f2bfd8eab7e3b34a0f7f09acc0667e71  emacs-23.3b.tar.gz
  917ce0054ef63773078a6e99b55df1ee  emacs-23.3b.tar.bz2

Note that the FSF has previously granted permission to distribute the
23.1 and 23.2 releases, notwithstanding the absence of the grammar
files, provided those versions comply with GNU GPL version 3 in all
other respects:

Correcting legal consequences of our mistake in Emacs 23.2 and 23.3

The FSF hereby grants permission to distribute the old Emacs 23.2 and
23.3 releases, notwithstanding the absence therein of the real source
files for the CEDET parsers (the grammar files).  This permission
extends to versions with unrelated modifications, provided those
versions comply with GNU GPL version 3 in all other respects.

Thanks to some of the improvements in GPL version 3, we don't need to
explicitly forgive past violations caused by redistributing Emacs 23.2
and 23.3, because those violations would only have consequences for
the redistributors if the FSF were to complain about them to the
redistributors within 60 days of such redistribution.  The FSF commits
not to complain about this problem.

The FSF urges all redistributors to upgrade as soon as possible to the
revised Emacs 23.2 and 23.3 releases, now in ftp.gnu.org, which do not
have this problem.  The corrected files have 23.2a and 23.3a in their
names.

Removal of fakemail


fakemail is a standalone program distributed with Emacs.

It sends mail using the "/bin/mail" program, for systems without a
"sendmail" (or equivalent) program. Emacs offers other ways to send
mail, eg via smtp. Also, the Lisp library feedmail.el offers a
superset of fakemail's functionality (without needing the fakemail
executable).

If you expect to need fakemail in Emacs 24, please send a note to
emacs-devel <at> gnu.org explaining why none of the the other methods of
sending mail work for you.

Thanks.
