Package: emacs-goodies-el Version: 29.3-2 Severity: wishlist For a long time, Emacs' own -el package has used gzip to compress the source files, since they're mainly for reference and Emacs can automatically decompress them (jka-compr).
It occurs to me that all the third-party -el packages that distribute .el files and byte-compile them during postinst, could do the same. After all, jka-compr should also work during byte compilation. Is this something that's been tried (and failed) before? If not, I might do some testing this weekend to try to get the emacsen-install code to handle .el.gz's. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
