458

428

458
+ − 56 intended use. Binary Packages are for installers and end-users that can
428
+ − 57 be installed directly into an XEmacs package directory. Source Packages
+ − 58 are for developers and include all files necessary for rebuilding
+ − 59 bytecompiled lisp and creating tarballs for distribution.
+ − 60
+ − 61 @subsection Binary Packages
+ − 62 @cindex binary packages
+ − 63 Binary packages may be installed directly into an XEmacs package
+ − 64 hierarchy.
+ − 65
+ − 66 @subsection Source Packages
+ − 67 @cindex source packages
+ − 68 Source packages contain all of the Package author's (where appropriate
+ − 69 in regular packages) source code plus all of the files necessary to
+ − 70 build distribution tarballs (Unix Tar format files, gzipped for space
+ − 71 savings).
+ − 72
458
+ − 73 Currently, source packages are only available via CVS. See
+ − 74 @url{http://cvs.xemacs.org/} for details.

+ − 80 @heading Installing Packages:
428
+ − 81 @subsection Getting Started
+ − 82
+ − 83 When you first download XEmacs 21, you will usually first grab the
+ − 84 @dfn{core distribution},
+ − 85 @cindex core distribution
+ − 86 a file called
458
+ − 87 @file{xemacs-21.x.x.tar.gz}. (Replace the @t{21.x.x} by the current version
428
+ − 88 number.) The core distribution contains the sources of XEmacs and a
+ − 89 minimal set of Emacs Lisp files, which are in the subdirectory named
+ − 90 @file{lisp}. This subdirectory used to contain all Emacs Lisp files
+ − 91 distributed with XEmacs. Now, to conserve disk space, most
+ − 92 non-essential packages were made optional.
+ − 93
+ − 94 @subsection Choosing the Packages You Need
458
+ − 95 @cindex choosing packages
+ − 96 The @ref{Available Packages} can currently be found in the same ftp directory
428
+ − 97 where you grabbed the core distribution from, and are located in the
458
+ − 98 subdirectory @file{packages}. Package file names follow
428
+ − 99 the naming convention @file{<package-name>-<version>-pkg.tar.gz}.
+ − 100
966
+ − 101 If you have EFS @ref{(EFS)}, packages can be installed over the network.
+ − 102 Alternatively, if you have copies of the packages locally, you can
+ − 103 install packages from a local disk or CDROM.
428
+ − 104
+ − 105 The file @file{etc/PACKAGES} in the core distribution contains a list of
824
+ − 106 the @ref{Available Packages} at the time of the XEmacs release.
428
+ − 107
+ − 108 You can also get a list of available packages, and whether or not they
+ − 109 are installed, using the visual package browser and installer. You can
+ − 110 access it via the menus:
+ − 111
+ − 112 @example
1648
+ − 113 Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
428
+ − 114 @end example
+ − 115
+ − 116 Or, you can get to it via the keyboard:
+ − 117
+ − 118 @example
1648
+ − 119 @code{M-x pui-list-packages}
428
+ − 120 @end example
+ − 121
+ − 122 Hint to system administrators of multi-user systems: it might be a good
+ − 123 idea to install all packages and not interfere with the wishes of your
+ − 124 users.
+ − 125
+ − 126 If you can't find which package provides the feature you require, try
+ − 127 using the @code{package-get-package-provider} function. Eg., if you know
+ − 128 that you need @code{thingatpt}, type:
+ − 129
+ − 130 @example
1648
+ − 131 @code{M-x package-get-package-provider RET thingatpt}
428
+ − 132 @end example
+ − 133
1648
+ − 134 which will return something like @samp{(fsf-compat "1.08")}. You can the use
428
+ − 135 one of the methods above for installing the package you want.
+ − 136
+ − 137 @subsection XEmacs and Installing Packages
+ − 138
458
+ − 139 There are three main ways to install packages:
+ − 140
+ − 141 @menu
1648
+ − 142 * Automatically:: Using the package tools from XEmacs.
458
+ − 143 * Manually:: Using individual package tarballs.
1648
+ − 144 * Sumo:: All at once, using the 'Sumo Tarball'.
458
+ − 145 * Which Packages:: Which packages to install.
+ − 146 * Removing Packages:: Removing packages.
+ − 147 @end menu
+ − 148
+ − 149 But regardless of the method you use to install packages, they can only
1648
+ − 150 be used by XEmacs after a restart unless the package in question has not
+ − 151 been previously installed.

+ − 157 @heading Automatic Package Installation:
+ − 158 XEmacs comes with some tools to make the periodic updating and
+ − 159 installing easier. It will notice if new packages or versions are
+ − 160 available and will fetch them from the FTP site.
428
+ − 161
458
+ − 162 Unfortunately this requires that a few packages are already in place.
+ − 163 You will have to install them by hand as above or use a SUMO tarball.
+ − 164 This requirement will hopefully go away in the future. The packages
+ − 165 you need are:
428
+ − 166
+ − 167 @example
458
+ − 168 efs - To fetch the files from the FTP site or mirrors.
+ − 169 xemacs-base - Needed by efs.
+ − 170
+ − 171 and optionally:
+ − 172
1648
+ − 173 mailcrypt - To do PGP verification of the @file{package-index}
+ − 174 file.
428
+ − 175 @end example
+ − 176
458

428

458
+ − 194 keyb: @code{M-x pui-list-packages RET}

1366

428
+ − 198
+ − 199 The visual package browser will then display a list of all packages.
+ − 200 Help information will be displayed at the very bottom of the buffer; you
+ − 201 may have to scroll down to see it. You can also press @kbd{?} to get
+ − 202 the same help. From this buffer, you can tell the package status by the
+ − 203 character in the first column:
+ − 204
+ − 205 @table @kbd
+ − 206 @item -
+ − 207 The package has not been installed.
+ − 208 @item *
+ − 209 The package has been installed, but a newer version is available. The

+ − 211 @item +
+ − 212 The package has been marked for installation/update.
+ − 213 @end table
+ − 214
+ − 215 If there is no character in the first column, the package has been
1030
+ − 216 installed and is up to date.
428
+ − 217
+ − 218 From here, you can select or unselect packages for installation using
+ − 219 the @key{RET} key, the @kbd{Mouse-2} button or selecting "Select" from
1366
+ − 220 the Popup @kbd{Mouse-3} Menu.
428
+ − 221 Once you've finished selecting the packages, you can
+ − 222 press the @kbd{x} key (or use the menu) to actually install the
+ − 223 packages. Note that you will have to restart XEmacs for XEmacs to

428

+ − 280 M-x package-get-all <return>
+ − 281 @end example
+ − 282
+ − 283 Enter the name of the package (e.g., @code{prog-modes}), and XEmacs
458
+ − 284 will search for the latest version and install it and any packages that

1366
+ − 287 @heading Keeping Packages Up To Date:
+ − 288 Once you have the packages you want installed (using any of the above

1648
