Looks fine to me. But I still have the problem that "--with-contrib" would be an all-or-nothing approach. Example: If somebody needs password.el in contrib (from No Gnus), he would get format-spec.el (from Gnus 5.8) as well. What about this: If configure is finding that a package is missing, it should generate just a link for the missing package lisp/password.el -> contrib/password.el, together with the warning above. > Kai Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
