I've found the package automation to be somewhat temperamental. It works okay from my Solaris box, using the main XEmacs site. But I usually have problems with the Linux box--something about passive FTP not being supported on the servers, IIRC. (Though come to think of it, I don't think I've tried it since I upgraded to openSUSE 11.0.) VGI> "us.xemacs.org" does not resolve. I recall running into problems with us.xemacs.org, too. I reported it, but I don't remember the outcome. There *is* a www.us.xemacs.org FWIW. VGI> It appears that the ibiblio XEmacs sumo packages haven't been VGI> updated since 27 Apr 2007. That's the most recent version at ftp.xemacs.org, too. Last I heard, production of new stable packages is stuck, because some of the packages don't build with 21.4. This issue has been raised a couple times in the past 10 months or so, but AFAIK it hasn't been fixed yet.:-( mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
