258 * XEmacs 21 packages
259
260 XEmacs 21 has added the concept of installable packages searched prior
261 to dump time when building.
262
263 Packages are searched by default under /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages/.
264 The summary message in configure will tell you where XEmacs is looking
265 for them. The packages hierarchy differs from site-lisp in that you
266 do not have to install XEmacs to use it. Indeed, the package path is
267 searched prior to dump time so that installed packages have the same
268 status as lisp distributed in the xemacs core tarball.
269
270 The structure of each directory in the package search path should look
271 like the base installed directory (ie. have etc/, info/, and lisp/,).
272 Lisp is searched recursively. It and all subdirectories are added to
273 the `load-path'. Each etc directory is added to `data-directory-list',
274 and each info directory is added to `Info-default-directory-list'.
275
276 A `find . -type d -print' in my top-level package directory reveals:
277 ./etc
278 ./etc/auctex
279 ./etc/auctex/style
280 ./etc/gnus
281 ./etc/skk
282 ./etc/gnusrefcard
283 ./etc/smilies
284 ./etc/message
285 ./info
286 ./lisp
287 ./lisp/gnus
288 ./lisp/auctex
289 ./lisp/auctex/man
290 ./lisp/footnote

294 AUCTeX and Gnus have package tarballs in
295 ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/
296 that you can simply untar in a package directory to install.
