Hello,
Hi
I've installed xemacs (w/variants listed in subject line)
successfully on my G5 running OS X 10.4.8.
I'm wondering what the recommended method for upgrading packages
(and in particular, python-mode packages) is.
[...]
I've temporarily downloaded this to a junk directory, so I could
diff the macports-provided python-mode.el, which lives in:
Applications/MacPorts/XEmacs.app/Contents/Resources/lib/xemacs/
xemacs-packages/lisp/python-modes/
with the sourceforge python-mode.el. They're definitely different.
Sourceforge's version is 4.75, whereas the one distributed thru
macports is 4.52.
Is the macports xemacs install out of date (I used a fresh install
of macports, followed by a selfupdate, about 1-1/2 weeks ago)? Or,
are we expected to use XEmacs packages tools to upgrade specific
packages (and if so, has anyone successfully been able to do that)?
Or should I clobber the macports python-modes directory and create
a new one that holds the files provided in the sourceforge download?
Very confused. Advice appreciated.
I don't use xemacs but emacs-devel +carbon. I have an ~/elisp
directory that contains elisp resources for emacs that I manage
myself (e.g. python-mode.el) and my ~/.emacs starts with
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp")
( (add-to-list x y) is like (cons x y) but returns y if x is in y )
It's simple and it works for me.
