like @[EMAIL PROTECTED] Live}, this method may be generally preferable when
providing packages.
+The following package structure would be adequate for a typical fully
+supported Unix-like installation:
+
[EMAIL PROTECTED] @samp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] preview-tetex
+Style files and documentation for @file{preview.sty}, placed into a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tree where it is accessible from the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
executables usually
+delivered with a system. If there are other commonly used @TeX{} system
+packages, it might be appropriate to provide separate packages for
+those.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] auctex-emacs-tetex
+This package will require the installation of @samp{preview-tetex} and
+will record in @samp{TeX-macro-global} know where to find the @TeX{}
+tree. It is also a good idea to run
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
+emacs -batch -f TeX-auto-generate-global
[EMAIL PROTECTED] example
+when either @AUCTeX{} or [EMAIL PROTECTED] get installed or upgraded.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] auctex-emacs-notex
+This package will be compiled with @samp{--without-texmf-dir} and will
+consequently contain the @samp{preview} style files in its private
+directory. It will probably not be possible to initialize
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to a useful value, so running
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not appear useful. This package
+would neither conflict with nor provide @samp{preview-tetex}.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] auctex-xemacs-tetex
[EMAIL PROTECTED] auctex-xemacs-notex
+Those are the obvious XEmacs equivalents. For XEmacs, there is the
+additional problem that the XEmacs sumo package tree already possibly
+provides its own version of @AUCTeX{}, and the user might even have used
+the XEmacs package manager to updating this package, or even installing
+a private @AUCTeX{} version. So you should make sure that such a
+package will not conflict with existing XEmacs packages and will be
+at an appropriate place in the load order (after site-wide and
+user-specific locations, but before a distribution-specific sumo package
+tree). It might be a reasonable choice to refrain from providing an
+XEmacs package and just rely on the user or system administrator to
+instead use the XEmacs package system.
