* Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: * Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org&gt;: The problem is that the package-index file in pre-releases lists non-existent files. Why not, simply symlink the missing ones into the pre-release directory? In the pre-release directory... for pkg in ../../../*-pkg.tar.gz; do ln -sv $pkg . done Do that once every "Official" packages release, and clean up the broken links. Then as pre-release packages come into the pre-release directory, remove the link to the package file it is updating. Seems like the easiest solution to me. Perhaps a little more work and care for Norbert, but nothing that couldn't easily be scripted. And the bleeding edge junkies like me who are too lazy to build our own packages can permanently set `package-get-remote' and get our packages updated via cron each night. :-) -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | SXEmacs - The only _______ you'll ever need. | | Fill in the blank, yes, it's THAT good! | |------------------------------------&lt;steve(a)sxemacs.org&gt;---| _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
