Re: Packqage Problem with 21.4.3

I've been working on this code, and the answer so far is "I don't know." It's pretty messy in there... Jake> But why was the index copied locally? Maybe you have `package-get-dir' set? The index is not considered authoritative; it's used only to get the packages available from one site. It's always updated before actually downloading. So there's no particular reason why there should be a single copy system-wide, and in fact it could optionally be deleted after downloading. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
