Please let's not do that: updating autoloads can take _much_more_ than a few seconds on slower machines. When was the last time you did that on a 400-MHz or 600-MHz box? This issue is only relevant for people who use the CVS code. Those people should be knowledgeable enough to run "make autoloads" when necessary. Even if you yourself bump into this once in a while, it's not a reason to make this change. Let's not modify the build system except when we find _real_ bugs, preferably not at all in targets that are only relevant to building out of CVS. Let's postpone that until after the release. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
