Thanks for your reply, Things like (add-to-list 'local-load-path path t) should append each new element to the end of the list (note that the optional APPEND (t) argument is not present in emacs20, where there is no optional argument and so, new elements are always added to the beginning of the list). There are some other things this function does not care about, like putting parent directories before the packages ones, I intended it more as a joy about making things differently. > Overall it strikes me as a little aggressive, but I suppose it ensures > the desired ordering.

I currently did that only after startup files are loaded, so load-path remains as expected. Doing as you propose may have an additional advantage, may allow to keep (debian-pkg-add-load-path-item) as a simple (add-to list ..), since the result will become sanitized after (run-parts) is run on each file. Thanks a lot for the sugestions, but note that I do not maintain emacsen-common. Best wishes, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
