[Comments] Package installation

Hi, XEmacs-21.0 is really nice! I had some problems with the installation of packages. I must say: if I wouldn't have ticked the thread "Packages-Info ..." by Holger Schauer and Andy Piper, I would have been completely lost... (1) It should be mentioned in the INSTALL file which a. packages are necessary before dumping (some Mule stuff?) b. packages are necessary for using the "update packages" mechanism from the menubar (efs + xemacs-base?) (2) After having installed packages efs + xemacs-base, using Options -> Customize -> Update Packages installs dired, mail-lib and vm!??? Why is that? (3) Using Options -> Customize -> Emacs -> Packages and toggling the various settings is a bit slow. It would be excellent to have something like toggle all / set all. (4) If you do not want that all people update their package from the xemacs ftp site, i.e., not using mirrors, you should advice to add addresses to `package-get-remote'. (5) I don't know whether this *Finder* stuff (C-h p) is still useful. At least it is very confusing to call the corresponding menu entry "Packages" (in Help -> Basics). (6) My menu item Help -> Samples -> Samples enriched is not selectable for the following reason (enriched.el and enriched.doc) are present: `data-directory-list' has value ("/home/clstaff/wedler/xemacs/xemacs-21.0-b51/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/" "/home/clstaff/wedler/xemacs/xemacs-21.0-b51/etc/") i.e., not containing the etc dir for enriched.doc, and `locate-data-file', which is used in the menu entry, only uses those dirs. - Christoph
