10 The XEmacs 21 distribution comes only with a very basic set of
|
|
|
11 built-in modes and packages. Most of the packages that were part of
|
|
|
12 the distribution of earlier versions of XEmacs are now available
|
|
|
13 separately. The installer as well as the user can choose which
|
|
|
14 packages to install; the actual installation process is easy.
|
|
|
15 This gives an installer the ability to tailor an XEmacs installation for
|
|
|
16 local needs with safe removal of unnecessary code.

|
42 @cindex single-file packages
|
|
|
43 A single-file package is an aggregate collection of thematically
|
|
|
44 related but otherwise independent lisp files. These files are bundled
|
|
|
45 together for download convenience and individual files may be deleted at
|
|
458
|
46 will without any loss of functionality. However, we would recommend
|
|
|
47 that you follow this rule of thumb: "When in doubt, don't delete".

|
51 @cindex package distributions
|
|
428
|
52 XEmacs Lisp packages are distributed in two ways, depending on the
|
|
458
|
53 intended use. Binary Packages are for installers and end-users that can
|
|
428
|
54 be installed directly into an XEmacs package directory. Source Packages
|
|
|
55 are for developers and include all files necessary for rebuilding
|
|
|
56 bytecompiled lisp and creating tarballs for distribution.
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 @subsection Binary Packages
|
|
|
59 @cindex binary packages
|
|
|
60 Binary packages may be installed directly into an XEmacs package
|
|
|
61 hierarchy.
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 @subsection Source Packages
|
|
|
64 @cindex source packages
|
|
|
65 Source packages contain all of the Package author's (where appropriate
|
|
|
66 in regular packages) source code plus all of the files necessary to
|
|
|
67 build distribution tarballs (Unix Tar format files, gzipped for space
|
|
|
68 savings).
|
|
|
69
|
|
458
|
70 Currently, source packages are only available via CVS. See
|
|
|
71 @url{http://cvs.xemacs.org/} for details.

78 @subsection Getting Started
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
80 When you first download XEmacs 21, you will usually first grab the
|
|
|
81 @dfn{core distribution},
|
|
|
82 @cindex core distribution
|
|
|
83 a file called
|
|
458
|
84 @file{xemacs-21.x.x.tar.gz}. (Replace the @t{21.x.x} by the current version
|
|
428
|
85 number.) The core distribution contains the sources of XEmacs and a
|
|
|
86 minimal set of Emacs Lisp files, which are in the subdirectory named
|
|
|
87 @file{lisp}. This subdirectory used to contain all Emacs Lisp files
|
|
|
88 distributed with XEmacs. Now, to conserve disk space, most
|
|
|
89 non-essential packages were made optional.
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 @subsection Choosing the Packages You Need
|
|
458
|
92 @cindex choosing packages
|
|
|
93 The @ref{Available Packages} can currently be found in the same ftp directory
|
|
428
|
94 where you grabbed the core distribution from, and are located in the
|
|
458
|
95 subdirectory @file{packages}. Package file names follow
|
|
428
|
96 the naming convention @file{<package-name>-<version>-pkg.tar.gz}.
|
|
|
97
|
|
966
|
98 If you have EFS @ref{(EFS)}, packages can be installed over the network.
|
|
|
99 Alternatively, if you have copies of the packages locally, you can
|
|
|
100 install packages from a local disk or CDROM.
|
|
428
|
101
|
|
|
102 The file @file{etc/PACKAGES} in the core distribution contains a list of
|
|
824
|
103 the @ref{Available Packages} at the time of the XEmacs release.
|
|
428
|
104
|
|
|
105 You can also get a list of available packages, and whether or not they
|
|
|
106 are installed, using the visual package browser and installer. You can
|
|
|
107 access it via the menus:
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
109 @example
|
|
1648
|
110 Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
|
|
428
|
111 @end example
|
|
|
112
|
|
|
113 Or, you can get to it via the keyboard:
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
115 @example
|
|
1648
|
116 @code{M-x pui-list-packages}
|
|
428
|
117 @end example
|
|
|
118
|
|
|
119 Hint to system administrators of multi-user systems: it might be a good
|
|
|
120 idea to install all packages and not interfere with the wishes of your
|
|
|
121 users.
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
123 If you can't find which package provides the feature you require, try
|
|
|
124 using the @code{package-get-package-provider} function. Eg., if you know
|
|
|
125 that you need @code{thingatpt}, type:
|
|
|
126
|
|
|
127 @example
|
|
1648
|
128 @code{M-x package-get-package-provider RET thingatpt}
|
|
428
|
129 @end example
|
|
|
130
|
|
1648
|
131 which will return something like @samp{(fsf-compat "1.08")}. You can the use
|
|
428
|
132 one of the methods above for installing the package you want.
|
|
|
133
|
|
|
134 @subsection XEmacs and Installing Packages
|
|
|
135
|
|
458
|
136 There are three main ways to install packages:
|
|
|
137
|
|
|
138 @menu
|
|
1648
|
139 * Automatically:: Using the package tools from XEmacs.
|
|
458
|
140 * Manually:: Using individual package tarballs.
|
|
1648
|
141 * Sumo:: All at once, using the 'Sumo Tarball'.
|
|
458
|
142 * Which Packages:: Which packages to install.
|
|
|
143 * Removing Packages:: Removing packages.
|
|
|
144 @end menu
|
|
|
145
|
|
|
146 But regardless of the method you use to install packages, they can only
|
|
1648
|
147 be used by XEmacs after a restart unless the package in question has not
|
|
|
148 been previously installed.
|
|

|
154 @heading Automatic Package Installation:
|
|
|
155 XEmacs comes with some tools to make the periodic updating and
|
|
|
156 installing easier. It will notice if new packages or versions are
|
|
|
157 available and will fetch them from the FTP site.
|
|
428
|
158
|
|
458
|
159 Unfortunately this requires that a few packages are already in place.
|
|
|
160 You will have to install them by hand as above or use a SUMO tarball.
|
|
|
161 This requirement will hopefully go away in the future. The packages
|
|
|
162 you need are:
|
|
428
|
163
|
|
|
164 @example
|
|
458
|
165 efs - To fetch the files from the FTP site or mirrors.
|
|
|
166 xemacs-base - Needed by efs.
|
|
|
167
|
|
|
168 and optionally:
|
|
|
169
|
|
1648
|
170 mailcrypt - To do PGP verification of the @file{package-index}
|
|
|
171 file.
|
|
428
|
172 @end example
|
|
|
173
|
|
458
|
174 After installing these by hand, fire up XEmacs and follow these
|
|
|
175 steps.
|
|

|
|

193 XEmacs will now connect to the remote site and download the
|
|
1366
|
194 latest package-index file.
|
|
428
|
195
|
|
|
196 The visual package browser will then display a list of all packages.
|
|
|
197 Help information will be displayed at the very bottom of the buffer; you
|
|
|
198 may have to scroll down to see it. You can also press @kbd{?} to get
|
|
|
199 the same help. From this buffer, you can tell the package status by the
|
|
|
200 character in the first column:
|
|
|
201
|
|
|
202 @table @kbd
|

203 @item -
|
|
|
204 The package has not been installed.

206 The package has been installed, but a newer version is available. The
|
|
|
207 current version is out-of-date.
|
|
|
208 @item +
|
|
|
209 The package has been marked for installation/update.
|
|
|
210 @end table
|
|
|
211
|
|
|
212 If there is no character in the first column, the package has been
|
|
1030
|
213 installed and is up to date.
|
|
428
|
214
|
|
|
215 From here, you can select or unselect packages for installation using
|
|
|
216 the @key{RET} key, the @kbd{Mouse-2} button or selecting "Select" from
|
|
1366
|
217 the Popup @kbd{Mouse-3} Menu.
|
|
428
|
218 Once you've finished selecting the packages, you can
|
|
|
219 press the @kbd{x} key (or use the menu) to actually install the
|
|
|
220 packages. Note that you will have to restart XEmacs for XEmacs to
|
|

299 Fetch the packages from the FTP site, CD-ROM whatever. The filenames
|
|
|
300 have the form @file{name-<version>-pkg.tar.gz} and are gzipped tar files. For
|
|
|
301 a fresh install it is sufficient to untar the file at the top of the
|
|
|
302 package hierarchy.
|
|
|
303
|
|
|
304 Note: If you are upgrading packages already installed, it's best to
|
|
|
305 remove the old package first @ref{Removing Packages}.
|
|
|
306
|
|
|
307 For example if we are installing the @file{xemacs-base}
|
|

308 package (version 1.48):
|
|
|
309
|
|
|
310 @example
|
|

|
313 gunzip -c /path/to/xemacs-base-1.48-pkg.tar.gz | tar xvf - RET
|
|
|
314
|
|
|
315 Or if you have GNU tar, the last step can be:
|
|
|
316
|
|
|
317 tar zxvf /path/to/xemacs-base-1.48-pkg.tar.gz RET
|
|
|
318 @end example
|
|
|
319
|
|
|
320 For MULE related packages, it is best to untar into the mule-packages
|
|
|
321 hierarchy, i.e. for the @file{mule-base} package, version 1.37:
|
|
|
322
|
|
|
323 @example
|
|
|
324 mkdir $prefix/lib/xemacs/mule-packages RET # if it does not exist yet

337 Those with little time, cheap connections and plenty of disk space can
|
|
|
338 install all the packages at once using the sumo tarballs.
|
|
|
339 Download the file: @file{xemacs-sumo.tar.gz}
|
|
|
340
|
|
|
341 For an XEmacs compiled with Mule you also need: @file{xemacs-mule-sumo.tar.gz}
|
|
|
342
|
|
|
343 N.B. They are called 'Sumo Tarballs' for good reason. They are
|
|
|
344 currently about 19MB and 4.5MB (gzipped) respectively.
|
|
|
345
|
|
|
346 Install them by:
|
|
|
347
|
|
|
348 @code{cd $prefix/lib/xemacs ; gunzip -c <tarballname> | tar xvf - RET}
|
|
|
349
|
|
|
350 Or, if you have GNU tar:
|
|
|
351
|
|
|
352 @code{cd $prefix/lib/xemacs ; tar zxvf /path/to/<tarballname> RET}
|
|
|
353
|
|
|
354 As the Sumo tarballs are not regenerated as often as the individual
|
|
|
355 packages, it is recommended that you use the automatic package tools
|
|
|
356 afterwards to pick up any recent updates.

|
|
|
363 This is difficult to say. When in doubt install a package. If you
|
|
|
364 administrate a big site it might be a good idea to just install
|
|
|
365 everything. A good minimal set of packages for XEmacs-latin1 would be
|
|
428
|
366
|
|
458
|
367 xemacs-base, xemacs-devel, c-support, cc-mode, debug, dired, efs,
|
|
|
368 edit-utils, fsf-compat, mail-lib, net-utils, os-utils, prog-modes,
|
|
1648
|
369 text-modes, time, mailcrypt
|
|
428
|
370
|
|
458
|
371 If you are using the XEmacs package tools, don't forget to do:
|
|
428
|
372
|
|
458
|
373 Packages -> Add Required
|
|
428
|
374
|
|
458
|
375 To make sure you have everything that the packages you have chosen to
|
|
|
376 install need.
|

385 @heading Removing Packages:
|
|
|
386 Because the exact files and their locations contained in a package may
|
|
|
387 change it is recommended to remove a package first before installing a
|
|
|
388 new version. In order to facilitate removal each package contains an
|
|
|
389 @file{pgkinfo/MANIFEST.pkgname} file which list all the files belonging
|
|
|
390 to the package.
|
|
428
|
391
|
|
458
|
392 No need to panic, you don't have to go through the
|
|
|
393 @file{pkinfo/MANIFEST.pkgname} and manually delete the files. Instead, use
|
|
737
|
394 @code{M-x package-get-delete-package RET}.
|
|
428
|
395
|
|
458

|
|
|
397 this for you.
