Right. We should be able to accomodate that case. For VC, your suggestion of a `load VC hooks' or attaching a menu with only a `initialize VC' menuitem (which loads VC hooks and replaces that menuitem with the full menu) might be the best approach.

True, however, buffer space is returned to the O/S by the relocating allocator. It also reportedly works around a problem info.el has with following hyperlinks across split files.

Package-UI and mule-packages NOT good friends 25 years, 6 months

Jan Vroonhof

If you have the packages installed in a proper tree (i.e. with some packages in 'mule-packages') then package-ui is confused. it dumps everything in xemacs-packages and then you have the packages in say mule-packages twice. Probably the package loading code should store info about where it found the package so the package tools can remove and upgrade the right copy. This needs to be fixed. Jan

Can _pkg.el come back? 25 years, 6 months

Jan Vroonhof

I might need to get at the '(provides-package data for a freshly installed package. Moreover it is very convenient if the auto-autoloads.el can be regenerated from the binary package. Jan

bug in edit-utils 25 years, 6 months

Ralf Weidemann

Hello, paren highlighting does not work correct (sometimes it works and sometimes not) in C files, if I also have the below lines in my .emacs. Seems that func-menu.el some- how conflict with paren.el. I use: XEmacs 21.0 "Poitou" + edit-utils 1.30 ;; .emacs (require 'func-menu) (define-key global-map 'f9 'function-menu) (add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'fume-add-menubar-entry) (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'fume-list-functions) (define-key global-map "\C-cg" 'fume-prompt-function-goto) (define-key global-map '(shift button3) 'mouse-function-menu) (define-key global-map '(meta button1) 'fume-mouse-function-goto) PS: I'm not on the list, so please CC me in case..
