These aren't XEmacs problems. They are issues with Debian packaging,
specifically their Emacs policy. With a standard XEmacs "make
install", these all go in the xemacs-$VERSION directories, not into
system directories. This kind of conflict is why we don't try to have
a "smarter" more LSB-conformant installation policy. These install
targets are all configurable, of course.

Known problem. XEmacs 21.4 is end-of-life and I'm pretty sure we
won't fix this.

Thanks for the report. Again, probably a won't-fix for 21.4.

Paths in ftp repo
7 years

Hi,
Thanks for all the hard work with getting ftp.xemacs.org archive up and running. That is great!
But, turning to a Swedish proverb: Even the sun has its spots! The paths in the archive are not completely as before. I think there were a bunch of softlinks before that are now missing. I'm not sure that is entirely bad since the links would cause some confusion when traversing the tree. So lets accept the new paths and live with it.
This means that the path to the packages now are (if I'm not mistaken)
Stable: ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages
Experimental: ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5/experimental/packages
If I don't hear a BIG NO, NO this must be changed, I will use these paths in Gentoo ebuilds.
This also means that the links on the xemacs.org web page ought to be updated to these values (and possibly other links into the ftp archives from the web pages.)
Yours
