Unlike the one provided by Steve this one is made using sumo.el using package-get-base.el-1998-09-19 (please Steve why don't you use it? It makes proper the dir structure, a readme and double checks package-get base and the MD5 checksums, see the errors below) http://www.math.ethz.ch/~vroonhof/emacs/xemacs-sumo-19980922.README http://www.math.ethz.ch/~vroonhof/emacs/xemacs-sumo-19980922.tar.gz Here is the readme This is the README file describing the XEmacs SUMO package tarball. You can generally find it under the name xemacs-sumo-<date>.tar.gz. Where <date> is the ISO style date of creation. The current tarball is named: xemacs-sumo-19980922.tar.gz The SUMO package tarball is intended for those who have more bandwidth and disk space than time to figure out which packages they need. It includes almost all XEmacs packages in their version at time of creation. The packages have been put in the directory structure recommend for XEmacs packages. For convenience of use with XEmacs binary distributions the SUMO tarball contains these with a 'lib/xemacs' prefix. In particular it contains lib/xemacs/site-packages Put packages that are not official XEmacs packages here. (Empty). lib/xemacs/mule-packages All packages related to the operation of a MULE enabled XEmacs. Non MULE XEmacsen do not use them. lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages (Almost) all current official XEmacs packages that are not MULE related. lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/sumo/README This README.
