Re: [lisp/packages.el:locate-data-file] Allow gzipped files in data-directory-list

Stephen> No, AFAIK no XEmacs automagically handles compressed files _until Stephen> jka-compr is enabled_. That means that code that does something like Stephen> (load (locate-data-file "library.el")) Stephen> will be badly hosed. (And don't tell me that no one in their right Stephen> mind would load Lisp code that way; there will be similar examples Stephen> that make more sense in practice if you put your mind to it.) The files I had in mind are the ones in the XEmacs "etc/" directory - the tutorials and the documentation. If I ever get a round tuit and finish the new and improved Debianization of XEmacs, I will put that stuff into the /usr/share/doc/xemacs tree, and Debian policy says that stuff must be compressed. Thus, I was dumping jka-compr into the XEmacs for the package. <wishlist>I sure would be nice if XEmacs had direct support for gzip compression via libz.</wishlist>
