Re: mega-package rather than sumo tarball

 I was thinking that when 21.0 is released, it might be better to have
a
 mega-package (union of all common binary packages) rather than a sumo
 tarball. 
?

...
 Also, updates to core XEmacs and mega-package could be made
 separately.  It might make sense to update the mega-package once a
 month, regardless of new XEmacs release.  It might even be possible to
 write a script that combines the list of common packages into a
 mega-package on the first of every month. 
sumo generation is scripted on cvs.xemacs.org now.  There's only a
small amount of tweaking, mostly in terms of cron and procmail, to
finish it off.

...
 Just a thought.
