1/ I like it, in particular the fact that I can install a symlink tree in /usr/local/lib/xemacs/*-packages 2/ Mew is always recompiled by each consecutive `make' command. I don't know if it's related, but all compilation gives this: While compiling toplevel forms in file /usr/local/src/xemacs-packages/comm/mew/mew/mew-cache.el: !! Symbol's value as variable is void ((mew-use-overlay-keymap)) 3/ I don't like the fact that *all* packages are compiled, even the ones I don't want to install. I understand that the primary goal of the Makefiles are to generate distributions for all packages, but I still think there should be a way to make a partial bytecompilation. 4/ I can't install the mule "locale" package. I get this: ls -1 pkginfo/MANIFEST.locale > pkginfo/MANIFEST.locale) ls: lisp/locale/ChangeLog: No such file or directory ls: lisp/locale/auto-autoloads.elc: No such file or directory ls: lisp/locale/auto-autoloads.el: No such file or directory ls: lisp/locale/_pkg.el: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [binkit-common] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xemacs-packages/mule/locale' make: *** [install] Error 2 The following patch fixes it, although it's totally blind. Since the fix is actually just to uncomment conditionals, I guess somebody commented those lines in order see if this was going to trigger an error somewhere.
