Re: Updated Packages in Pre-Releases

Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: I answered `no' to the do-you-want-to-move-your-.emacs-into-.xemacs question, so I still use ~/.emacs and have no init.el at all. user-init-directory points to (non-existing) ~/.xemacs. If I create ~/.xemacs/ and copy the file there, "Update index" now works. Thanks. But "Update installed packages" still breaks. In a different way now, though. Do you want me to eval-buffer some files to get a better backtrace? The warnings seem to be caused by me having experimental versions of some modules installed -- have the modules versions on the ftp.xemacs.org server gone backwards? I'm pointing XEmacs at the "experimental modules" download choice.
