SL Baur <steve(a)xemacs.org&gt; writes: I'm lost. Are the packages dumped or not ? Here's what I thought I understood, tell me if I'm wrong or right: - When you build xemacs from the tarballs, all packages that are found in the packages directory (say /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages) are dumped. - When you add a new package in the packages directory, after xemacs is built, the package is seen normally, appart from the fact that it's not dumped. THe package's autoloads are loaded at run-time. - Now if the preceding assumptions are correct, what happens when you have dumped a package with xemacs, and you install a new version without building xemacs again ?
