Re: The future of XEmacs

Mike Kupfer writes: That's not a "shadow" warning, that's a real error. XEmacs attempted to load an auto-autoloads library for that package twice. If that succeeded it would be a very bad thing, because it might stomp all over changes made to the data of that package (including code, such as advice) in the time since the first load. On the other hand, it shouldn't happen without your intervention, because the package initialization code should refuse to add a shadowed directory to `load-path'. So the auto-autoloads library itself has to error, because we can't be sure what you had in mind. (N.B. It is not an error to explicitly reload a regular library.) Bottom line, this isn't just an annoyance, something needs to be fixed. I suspect your installation ;-), but it could be XEmacs. Do you manipulate load-path in site-start, defaults.el, init.el, custom.el, or any library loaded from one of those? Do you manipulate load-path in any private package's auto-autoloads? Does this happen with -vanilla? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
