SL Baur <steve(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: Actually, it seems that *all* packages are rebytecompiled, regardless of whether they appear in Local.rules. This causes problems for me since there are packages I don't want to install and I don't want to compile at all (they are checked out, however, since it's simpler to call `cvs co' only once, at the toplevel directory). Actually, since I never could checkout skk properly, the make process bombs out on this one and I have to modify the SUBDIRS variable of its Makefile by hand to remove it from the make process. Maybe it would be better if you compiled only the packages you want to install ? Unless you consider that Local.rules is there only for specifying different installations, not packages requirements. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19
