Oddity with package directories
Robert Pluim writes:
The root cause of this is that passing -no-autoloads causes XEmacs
not to pick up my package hierarchy in ~/.xemacs. If I move stuff
to /usr/local/share/xemacs, it all works.
Is this expected behaviour?
Not finding stuff in .xemacs is expected. The initialization options
are not orthogonal; -no-autoloads implies -no-early-packages, and
.xemacs is where early packages are found by default. This is
documented in the output of "xemacs --help" (among other places).
This non-orthogonality is dubious, IMO, but all of that stuff was
in practice added as a convenience for XEmacs developers (or for the
build process), not for developers of packages. Sorry for the
confusion.
