I am also not sure why there are two site-lisp directories. > By the way, what kind of procedure would you recommend when trying out a new > vm version when the version of emacs you are using is packaged with an old > vm? Normally, you should put your own installations of emacs packages in your home directory, say ~/emacs, and add these directories at the front of the load-path. However, site-init files can defeat everything. I don't trust site-init files. > I suggest that from now on vm-8.1.0 be bundled with the emacs23 > debian/ubuntu packages. If Ubuntu is sharing its packaging with Debian, then you need to report this to Debian folks. Actually, Manoj Srivastava who handles VM at present, wants to give it up, but there have been no takers. So, the Debian support for VM is going to be bad for a while, I expect. > Thanks a lot for your help and thanks for your leading of the VM community. You are welcome. Please keep the flag flying!
