Thanks! Just trying to absorb all of this! It looks like a very elegant solution. I have a few questions. First, are you making the built-in /usr/bin/emacs part of this system? Will add-ons automatically get byte-compiled for it? Second, do you anticipate that all of fink's emacs packages will be part of this system in the near future? Right now it is tricky, with the emacs packages in stable NOT being part of this system. It would be great if xemacs could be made part of the same system. Also, I'm not sure what the role of emacs-alpha is. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
