I explicitly took out all references to specific packages to force
people to read README.packages. I don't think an XEmacs with just
xemacs-base is all that more useful than a bare XEmacs.
I tried to put it more politely then
AT THIS POINT YOU MUST READ README.packages, %!#＠!!!!!!.
which is what I really meant.
Ah, ok. Your wording is better. In fact, since I'm a rude, direct kind
of fellow, how about the following:
--begin--
For more information and suggestions for which packages to install see
the file README.packages. Go read it before you do anything else. I
mean it. If you haven't read it, don't complain about various
functions being missing from your installation.
--end--
(or is that too rude/strong/arrogant/elitist/whatever ?)
Actually, I've just noticed that my changes to README.packages and
package-get.el haven't been applied to 21.2, only to 21.1. Do I need
to resend the patches?
