So I wouldn't have used "make" with the packages until then. ST> This is the real problem with the "fix 21.4" solution, in any case.

ST> As package-future.el shows, there's no need to suffer through that. I don't see it as suffering, though that might reflect my background as a Solaris developer, where build hosts are expected to be running recent bits (no more than a month old). Still, it's not something I have a strong opinion on. The only thing I really care about is that we fix the package build and move forward. To borrow a line from the California budget mess, neither approach is ideal, but they're both better than doing nothing. cheers, mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
