What if I'm just Joe User installing packages in ~/.xemacs/packages and *can't* write to /usr/local/...../lisp/package-get-custom.el? Also, that code is really irritating because it causes my cvs updates to always fail on that file. So I'm for taking it out of the distribution, like package-get-base.el. Maybe then it never actually needs to get written out, just eval the right forms which you generate as package-get-base is read in? Another issue is keeping in sync with package-get-base, which is more dynamic now. It isn't loaded until you call a package-get function, and can be updated from mail/news/update files during a session. Guess package-get-custom should just be updated at the same time. In the function package-get-update-base-entry should work. I'll think about it a little more. greg
