Re: Building packages with 21.4
* "Vin Shelton" <acs(a)alumni.princeton.edu>:
Hello Vin,
I have been trying to update 21.4 so that it can build the packages.
Here is the minimalist patch I have been trying:

I'm not sure whether I like this approach. By this we make the package
build dependent of a certain patch level of the stable branch, not the
stable branch itself. Up to now it's been possible to build the
packages using any stable XEmacs (or later). With this change this is no
longer possible.
E.g. I haven't distributed Michael's changes up to now, because I use a
21.4 XEmacs to build them which currently still fails. So, I could wait
until you bring in this patch and try my luck, but any person out there
will have to do the same.
Could this change go into the xemacs-base package?
Thanks,
norbert.
