(1) There doesn't seem to be a keyboard-oriented way to manage packages. In particular, how do you set package-get-remote? I've been using (setq package-get-remote (list (cdar package-get-download-sites))) but this is not user-friendly. (2) Trying to use efs to update packages on NetBSD 1.5 with XEmacs 21.1.12, the NetBSD ftp client by default tries to use EPSV. At ftp.xemacs.org, this results in an error which is not caught by EFS, and so terminates the FTP transaction. If EPSV fails, the client automatically toggles that feature off, so simply retrying the operation normally succeeds, and future operations will succeed. I've reported the bug to EFS separately, but I thought I'd mention it here since the workaround is so simple. -- 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?
