Re: mega-package rather than sumo tarball
Richard Coleman <coleman(a)math.gatech.edu> writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org:
I was thinking that when 21.0 is released, it might be better to have
a
mega-package (union of all common binary packages) rather than a sumo
tarball.
?
...
Also, updates to core XEmacs and mega-package could be made
separately. It might make sense to update the mega-package once a
month, regardless of new XEmacs release. It might even be possible to
write a script that combines the list of common packages into a
mega-package on the first of every month.
sumo generation is scripted on cvs.xemacs.org now. There's only a
small amount of tweaking, mostly in terms of cron and procmail, to
finish it off.
Just a thought.
