| 214 * XEmacs 20.3 packages | |
| 215 | |
| 216 XEmacs 20.3 has added the concept of installable packages searched prior | |
| 217 to dump time when building. | |
| 218 | |
| 219 Packages are searched by default under /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages/. | |
| 220 The summary message in configure will tell you where XEmacs is looking | |
| 221 for them. The packages hierarchy differs from site-lisp in that you | |
| 222 do not have install XEmacs to use it, indeed, the package path is | |
| 223 searched prior to dump time so that installed packages have the same | |
| 224 status as lisp distributed in the xemacs base tarball. | |
| 225 | |
| 226 The structure of each directory in the package search path should look | |
| 227 like the base installed directory (ie. have etc/, info/, and lisp/,). | |
| 228 Lisp is searched recursively. It and all subdirectories are added to | |
| 229 the `load-path'. Each etc directory is added to `data-directory-list', | |
| 230 and each info directory is added to `Info-default-directory-list'. | |
| 231 | |
| 232 A `find . -type d -print' in my top-level package directory reveals: | |
| 233 ./etc | |
| 234 ./etc/auctex | |
| 235 ./etc/auctex/style | |
| 236 ./etc/gnus | |
| 237 ./etc/skk | |
| 238 ./etc/gnusrefcard | |
| 239 ./etc/smilies | |
| 240 ./etc/message | |
| 241 ./info | |
| 242 ./lisp | |
| 243 ./lisp/gnus | |
| 244 ./lisp/auctex | |
| 245 ./lisp/auctex/man | |
| 246 ./lisp/footnote | |
| 247 ./lisp/skk | |

| 250 AUCTeX and Gnus have package tarballs in | |
| 251 ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/beta/packages-20.3/ | |
| 252 that you can simply untar in a package directory to install. | |

| 254 Karl Hegbloom has a set of packages in | |
| 255 [I lost the reference] | |
| 256 that work the same way. | |

| 258 This is not how package installation will work in released 20.3. |
