Re: Package Smoketest and the building of mew-ja.info

Ben> Mats, does the package smoketest do an absolute build from the Ben> very beginning? If not, you really should. Every time you Ben> build, do a `make extraclean' Each build, for the different version of XEmacs, starts with a "make distclean" to bring things back to a clean state. All package builds are performed in the same package tree so the make distclean is essential that it does its work well. I can try "extra-clean" but all it seems to add is the removal of backup files and that doesn't seem to be really what this problem is all about. Ben> (or even better, a fresh checkout). This will make it take Ben> longer but you'll get more consistent results. Yes but I'm trying to be smart here as well. The results from the "cvs update" is used to find out if anything has changed since last build. If not, the build is not performed. You can also view it as a build problem if there isn't a target that brings the package tree back into a clean state. :-) Ben> If you aren't currently doing this, nuke _pkg.el and Ben> auto-autoloads.* from xemacs-packages/xemacs-base and rebuild. Ben> If you still get the problem, send me the contents of _pkg.el and Ben> auto-autoloads.el. If you still think extra-clean will do it I'll try it. (In fact I will go ahead and try it immediately.) I'll remove _pkg.el and auto-autoloads.* while I'm at it as well. Yours -- %% Mats
