CVS packages

I wanted to see why the PSGML package is messing up unless it is re-bytecompiled, so I checked the current packages out of CVS as indicated on cvs.xemacs.org. I may just be suffering from some mental defect, but I didn't get a Local.rules.mk or Local.rules.template when I asked for xemacs-packages. Any compile immediately bombs out without Local.rules.mk, and creating an empty one causes bizarre things to happen, so I'm stuck. What am I missing? Also, while trying to find some documentation that might tell me where I am going wrong, I saw that <URL:http://cvs.xemacs.org/packages.html> refers to XEmacs 20.5. As far as I know, that version never existed, right? Thanks, -- Jerry James
