I committed one small change to configure by Jan Vroonhof to fix a configure typo. If you haven't broken on an error message about `dash_r' or "-rpath" or "-R" you don't need to bother with it. The major architectural change is that Lisp packages can be built from a top-level make without requiring XEmacs/Mule. Modify XEmacs.rules and comment out the line reading: BUILD_MULE=t As of today, I consider it fair game to start reporting bugs on global builds from CVS[1]. The updated package-get-base file is named: package-get-base.el-21.0-pre8-pre2 Lisp Package Updates nonfunctional, nonuser-visible build only changes: For CVS the files: ChangeLog, Makefile, XEmacs.rules, package-compile.el, and oa/Makefile were updated. calendar-1.05 empty file diary-ins.el removed footnote-1.04 tm-1.11 apel-1.05 edict-1.04 egg-its-1.08 leim-1.08 skk-1.08 auctex-1.10 allow building with XEmacs/no-Mule vm-1.10 vc-1.10 package-info.in fix (remove `dump t' marking) Sun-1.07 tooltalk-1.06 dumped-lisp.el removed Updated Packages with user-visible changes prog-modes-1.08 Postscript syntax fix for '}' edit-utils-1.26 func-menu.el-2.57 mine-1.07 V1.9 (Hrvoje Niksic patches from xemacs-beta merged) gnus-1.23 Gnus-5.6.27 xemacs-devel-1.14 find-func.el update locale-1.08 German Menubar, allowing building with XEmacs/no-Mule tpu-1.05 package-info.in typo fix, Lucid->XEmacs eudc-1.20 Major update, bbdb and LDAP backends now supported calc-1.07 Port to 21.2, Lucid->XEmacs mule-base-1.20 TUTORIAL run-time fix, allow building with XEmacs/no-Mule pc-1.11 Allowing toggling of selection deletion behavior vc-cc-1.06 Fix package-info.in (remove `dump t' marking), menu fix texinfo-1.11 Character quote syntax fix Footnotes: [1] Not that I'll have a whole lot of time to do much about it in the near term.
