Hi Sam, you can update package-get-base via XEmacs <= 21.1 Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Options->Manage Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.4 Tools->Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Tools->Packages->List & Install smikes> I am trying to use CVS to keep current in packages in lieu of smikes> regular SUMO updates. Perhaps this is a bad practice? Not necessarily. Up-to-date is up-to-date. If you build and install from latest CVS package sources, then you'll actually be ahead of updates via our ftp sites. It's just a good idea to fetch new released packages regularily since we still fix bugs in them.
