I have found that I am repeatedly wiping out various customizations, usually to emacs or to LaTex whenever I update either Fink (I use the fink installed emacs and tetex packages) or developer tools.
Ages ago Martin Costable emailed gave me a guide (well a note) on how to handle my tetex customizing (for pdfjadetex which really should be included in the package -- at least optionally - but I probably should send thatsuggeston to the maintainer.) > Fink tetex uses the same tree structure as "standard" teTeX, if you > replace /usr/local/teTeX by /sw. In particular, it understands your > private teTeX tree in ~/Library/texmf and the local tree in > /sw/share/texmf.local which is the same as /sw/etc/texmf.local. Both are > not touched by fink updates. In any case I seem to have wiped out pdfjadetex, a .sty file or two. A half working implemantation of some .el files for emac. I also noticed that when I ran dvips and xdvi, I was recreating fonts I had previously built and since a lot of perl started working again - I assume I wiped out my additions there as well. Is there a way to stick my software additions to fink installed packages someplace truly safe e.g ~/sw.truly-local so that I can never wipe them out, but perhaps have the ability to enable and disable my additions so I can tell if I screwed up as opposed to a real bug?. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
