Re: [Q] mirroring the xemacs CVS archive ?

While we're at it .... sorry to ask those stupid questions, but
I
`cvs checkout' xemacs for the first time today:
- it's called xemacs-20 not 21 ?
It's called `xemacs-20.0' on Altair due to lack of foresightedness on
my part when I first set it up two Decembers ago.
- what's in there seems pretty different from what's in the
tarballs. For
instance, there's much more stuff in the lisp dir that seems to conflict
with the packages.
That's stuff that has been moved into the Lisp packages. The stuff in
the Attic/ is required for consing up old XEmacs versions like say 20.2.
- After `configure'ing and `gmake'ing, I got a full bunch of
messages like:
"error: dumped file nyanya.elc does not exist", and then it failed
completely saying "mule-charset not found".
Use the -P (prune empty directory) option to `cvs checkout'. This is
the classic signature of having an empty obsolete `packages'
directory in the XEmacs core.
For the record I use a .cvsrc of:
diff -ko
rdiff -ko
update -ko
co -ko -P
checkout -ko -P
