converting files to installable package format?
I started experimenting with XEmacs packaging system and before I
convert my modules to this I'd like to know If I'm on right tracks:
_pkg Seems pretty straightforward
auto-autoloads.el Seesm to contain generate-file-autoloads
cust-load.el Seems to be generated by ??
Are these the only files that are needed to put in PACKAGE-VER.tar.gz?
When PACKAGE-VER.tar.gz is ready where should it be put available?
Q. How do I classify the the "type" (I'm using the footnote-el as an
example)
;;;###autoload
(package-provide 'footnote
:version 1.09
:type 'regular)
Q. Where do I send the package-get-base entry, like the one in footnote.el
(footnote
(standards-version 1.0
version "1.06"
author-version "0.18x"
date "1998-08-27"
build-date "1998-09-19"
maintainer "SL Baur <steve(a)xemacs.org>"
distribution stable
priority low
category "comm"
dump nil
description "Footnoting in mail message editing modes."
filename "footnote-1.06-pkg.tar.gz"
md5sum "796323a84d97bade70a5d78fd9076a2e"
size 13551
provides (footnote)
requires (mail-lib xemacs-base)
type regular
))
What's priority? How to choose Category value?
Q. What if a MODULE consists of several files, say xxx-file1.el xxx-file2.el?
