--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs20 Version: 20.4-1 Severity: normal Emacs NEWS reads: * Installation Changes in Emacs 20.3 ** The default value of load-path now includes most subdirectories of the site-specific directories /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp and /usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp, in addition to those directories themselves. Both immediate subdirectories and subdirectories multiple levels down are added to load-path. Not all subdirectories are included, though. Subdirectories whose names do not start with a letter or digit are excluded. Subdirectories named RCS or CVS are excluded. Also, a subdirectory which contains a file named `.nosearch' is excluded. You can use these methods to prevent certain subdirectories from being searched. Subdirectories of /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ are not automatically added in the case that that path is a symlink to another directory on another ext2 filesystem. Whether it is the symlink, the other filesystem, or the combination that defeats the automatic adding of subdirectories I don't know. It may be desirable not to cross symlinks/filesystems, but it should be documented if so. Perhaps this automatic subdirectory-adding behavior is documented elsewhere than in the NEWS file, but I could not find where. -- System Information Debian Release: potato Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux aleph 2.2.12 #1 Tue Oct 26 20:07:22 EDT 1999 i586 Versions of packages emacs20 depends on: ii emacsen-common 1.4.9 Common facilities for all emacsen. ii libc6 2.1.2-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii liblockfile1 1.01 Shared library with NFS-safe locki ii libncurses4 4.2-3.4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii xlib6g 3.3.5-1 shared libraries required by X cli
