Re: Package system improvements!?

Mats Lidell writes: Sure, but there's no point to that since you need to find existing packages anyway, and this would require two paths through the installation code, one which looks for extra Lisp somewhere and uses that to install more packages, and one which looks for a tarball and installs it. What we really want to do here is install any packages that come with the source code in the right place and go from there. Most of the time that should be possible, and the rest of the time we'd need the user's help anyway. The complexity is entirely due to the fact that for historical reasons packages might be anywhere in the user's system, and that XEmacs has changed its default location for package installation, but the users are going to expect that previously installed packages will be found and used. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
