If they're just downloading prebuilt packages, they wouldn't be affected by the requirement to upgrade XEmacs.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about typical XEmacs users. I think I knew what an auto-autoloads file was before signing up to be a package maintainer, but I certainly never built one.

Thanks for adding these clarifying remarks, by the way. I remember trying to follow the discussions when this issue first came up and getting totally lost. mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
