It must | be a valid package, ie, a member of `package-get-base'. | | Argument INFORMATION is a symbol that can be any one of: | | standards-version Package system version (not used). | version Version of the XEmacs package. | author-version The upstream version of the package. | date The date the package was last modified. | build-date The date the package was last built. | maintainer The maintainer of the package. | distribution Will always be "xemacs" (not used). | priority "low", "medium", or "high" (not used). | category Either "standard", "mule", or "unsupported".. | dump Is the package dumped (not used). | description A description of the package. | filename The filename of the binary tarball of the package. | md5sum The md5sum of filename. | size The size in bytes of filename. | provides A list of symbols that this package provides. | requires A list of packages that this package requires. | type Can be either "regular" or "single-file". | | If optional argument ARG is non-nil insert INFORMATION into current | buffer at point. This is very useful for doing things like inserting | a maintainer's email address into a mail buffer. | | If optional argument REMOTE is non-nil use a package list from a | remote site. For this to work `package-get-remote' must be non-nil. | | If this function is called interactively it will display INFORMATION | in the minibuffer. `---- -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | I am Dyslexic of Borg. | | Fusistance is retile.
