package buglettes

By default package-get now goes to the local disk to install packages. This is ok (alhough I'm not convinced that the local disk is any more useful a default than xemacs.org) however to go somewhere else I assume I have to do Manage Packages -> add download site -> some site. If I select xemacs.org, package updated correctly now gets stuff from xemacs.org but this is not reflected in the menu list (i.e. I would expect a tick by xemacs.org on the menu to indicate that I had selected it). Also are the various options one selects (not using PGP, download site) saved somehow? Also IMHO having no default download site would be better than the local disk. Currently if no download site is selected and you don't have a package in /tmp its not obvious what's going wrong. I would have thought an error message along the lines of "please select a download site" with local disk (or /tmp) as one of the options would be more helpful. andy --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " .sigs are like your face - rarely seen by you and uglier than you think" Dr Andy Piper, Technical Architect, Parallax Solutions Ltd mail: andyp(a)parallax.co.uk web: www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp
