And nobody but you claims that XEmacs packages are missing any source.
I'll second David's claim, then. There is no released and versioned
source for XEmacs packages and we notice this in Gentoo.
What I would like to do in an ideal world for Gentoo is to compile the
elisp on the user's machine so that he'll get the byte-code optimized for
the local installation (e.g. using 21.5 byte-code if desired). Right now
that is not possible because I don't have the source to properly install
the package. I guess I could work around this by identifying my own cvs
snapshots and work from there, but that seems like a very brittle
approach to get this working.
In practice we currently just install the pre-compiled lisp files and be
done with it, and this works fine for 21.4 and 21.5.
Kind regards,
Hans
