Hello Steven, hello All, while trying to help out somebody who wants to benchmark XEmacs, I realized there is no way to find 'bench with: (require 'package-get-base) (require 'package-get) (package-get-package-provider 'bench) nil Digging just a little deeper reveals the following: cd /export/home/tmp/packages-21.0/lisp/xemacs-devel/ egrep -ni '\(provide[ ]|^;; Copyright' *.el /dev/null Compilation started at Thu Jun 25 10:36:43 1998 auto-autoloads.el:314:(provide 'xemacs-devel-autoloads) bench.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1987,88,89,90,93,94,95,96 Free Software Foundation, Inc. docref.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc. docref.el:285:(provide 'docref) eldoc.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1996, 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. eldoc.el:608:(provide 'eldoc) elp.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc. elp.el:607:(provide 'elp) find-func.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. find-func.el:384:(provide 'find-func) find-gc.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc. hide-copyleft.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1997 Sun Microsystems. hide-copyleft.el:167:(provide 'hide-copyleft) ielm.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ielm.el:489:(provide 'ielm) pretty-print.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1992,1993 Guido Bosch <Guido.Bosch(a)loria.fr&gt; pretty-print.el:569:(provide 'pp) profile.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1996 Ben Wing, (C) 1997 Free Software Foundation. regexp-opt.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. regexp-opt.el:267:(provide 'regexp-opt) reposition.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1991, 1994 Free Software Foundation, Inc. trace.el:3:;; Copyright (C) 1993 Free Software Foundation, Inc. trace.el:317:(provide 'trace) grep finished (24 matches found) at Thu Jun 25 10:36:43 At least the following files don't provide themselves: bench.el find-gc.el profile.el reposition.el I have decided not to send patches since I am not sure every of these should (provide ...) itself. bench.el however should surely (provide ...) itself.
