Re: Two silly XEmacs questions

Amir J Katz <amir(a)ndsoft.com&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: No one is expected to follow both trees. The new changes in 21.2 are relatively few at the moment. The only major-ish change is the mass elimination of obsolete symbols. If you're interested in coding up new features, that's the one you should follow. Changes in 21.0 are being tracked, but the releases will be coming out much slower than 21.0 and 21.1 in a few weeks will be. Speaking of 21.0, there's a new release -- 21.0-pre8 "Corsican" on the FTP site that I put out this morning. I'm anticipating one or two more interim releases before we put out the version for binary kit building. No. We're moving away from having packages requiring redumping. There are only three left: efs (Michael has promised an update prior to 21.0 release) and egg-its, skk. I'll fix them prior to release also. To install by hand, cd to the top level directory of your xemacs-packages directory. $ /bin/rm -rf lisp/<package> $ gunzip -c /path/to/package-X.YY-pkg.tar.gz | tar xf - The `rm -rf' is important to clean out files that may have disappeared. A restart of the editor is all it takes to have the new package picked up.
