The packages build fails under XEmacs 21.5 non-Mule in the Tramp package. It's because of a coding cookie in tramp.el: '-*- coding: iso-8859-1; -*-' Simply removing it fixes the immediate problem of building Tramp with XEmacs 21.5 non-Mule, but that makes me feel uneasy for two reasons: 1) Why is that cookie there in the first place? (Kai?) 2) Why isn't XEmacs 21.5 non-Mule just ignoring it? (That would be the right thing for it to do, wouldn't it?) Would anyone object to me (Kai, especially) removing the coding cookie from tramp.el so we can get a clean(ish) packages build for non-Mule 21.5? I know that this isn't the "right" thing to do so to appease the Gods, I'll submit a bug report complete with traces about this in a few minutes. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
