This is a problem if these packages need to work with both emacs and xemacs. The two are .elc file incompatible. > Does anybody know of a concrete example where recompiling a set of > installed .el files in some specific (say alphabetic) order will fail? > Gnus in the emacs distribution used to have this problem, I seem to > remember, but it does not seem to be a problem in 19.34 (I maintain > emacs under CVS which by default ignores .elc files and thus want to > recompile lisp/). I think gnus might fit this criterion. It has a full blown makefile, but I haven't checked to see how complicated the actions are. I think at this point I favor Guy's service registration proposal, but there are some details that have to be considered. I won't be doing anything about any of this fancier stuff for a couple of weeks, though. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
