Re: 21.5 maybe not finding package roots? [was: Byte-compiler tests fail]

Note that no actual packages are being found (except in Mule). Do you have any Mule packages in cvs?

No, "make install" does not run "make check". Shouldn't, anyway. So this doesn't prevent installation. These checks _definitely_ will not run without packages available, because the libraries that define those functions are not in core. I don't know how to deal with this. I think probably the tests/automated stuff should condition-case the requires, and if they fail run a limited subset or tests, and warn. I don't think that's a bad thing; if packages exercise some part of xemacs well, I don't see why we shouldn't use them in testing (if the alternative is that we don't write any tests). But that's not my job at the moment. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
