We _can't_ _support_ source packages unless we distribute all dependencies with each source package. It ends up being equivalent to "get everything from CVS". Right now, the best we can do is say "unpack the binary kit somewhere, run byte-recompile-directory in the lisp directory, and pray." I recommend removing the srckit targets completely until we've done serious thinking about managing the dependency graph properly. It's not that hard in principle, but there's the devil to pay in the details, and in the current system far too much work to do by hand, since we have no dependency database except for the REQUIRES variable in the Makefiles. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
