Hi, I'd bring this issue up here. right now all elisp packages has been bytecompilied at the build time. that worked fine until now. However xemacs has been moved to Extras and we have had the possiblity of having the multiple version of [x]emacs against the existance of Extras. consequently it takes the problem rise. say, the elisp packages in Core can't provides the bytecompiled elisp for xemacs, because Core packages can't depends on Extras packages. people needs to have their own (duplicated) elisp packages to be bytecompiled or needs any extra work for that. etc. and you may wants to try the emacs CVS snapshot package. but it may not work properly due to the incompatibility of the bytecompiled code. For such problems, Debian has the good thing to solve them. emacsen-common package provides the facilities to install the elisp files. although each elisp packages needs to have a script to bytecompile them, it will be brought up with every favor of [x]emacs from emacsen-common and the elisp packages can provides the bytecompiled elisp without installing each elisp packages like -el and -el-xemacs for [x]emacs installed on your system. The description may be insufficient. please comment on this, if you have any objections. the discussion is always welcome :) Thanks, -- Akira TAGOH -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
