[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-20 13:19:56 by youngs] 2003-03-20 Steve Youngs <youngs@xemacs.org> * menubar-items.el (default-menubar): Add a "Pre-Release Download Sites" submenu to "Tools -> Packages" menu. Filter the package download sites menus through `menu-split-long-menu'. * obsolete.el (pui-add-install-directory): New. (package-get-download-menu): New. * package-admin.el: (package-admin-add-single-file-package): Removed. (package-admin-get-install-dir): Don't rely on an installed xemacs-base package to guess where a package needs to be installed to. (package-admin-get-manifest-file): Whitespace clean up. (package-admin-check-manifest): Use `directory-sep-char' to compute regexp. Only search 'lisp' and 'man' directories to determine package name. Don't error is xemacs-base package isn't installed, just don't sort the MANIFEST file and issue a warning. (package-admin-add-binary-package): Whitespace clean up. (package-admin-get-lispdir): Ditto. (package-admin-delete-binary-package): Use `with-temp-buffer' instead of creating a temporary buffer manually. * package-get.el: (package-get-remote): Change custom type so that only either a single directory or remote host:directory can be selected. (package-get-download-sites): Put the sites into alphabetical order of country. Make the description element be "Country (site)" instead of the other way around. (package-get-pre-release-download-sites): New. (package-get-require-signed-base-updates): Default to t. (package-get-download-menu): Removed. (package-get-locate-file): Change to reflect new format of 'package-get-remote'. (package-get-update-base-from-buffer): Whitespace clean up and remove an unneccessary 'when'.

(package-get): Bring into line with new format of 'package-get-remote'. Error if non-Mule XEmacsen try to install Mule packages. Don't rely on a Mule package having 'mule-base' in its "REQUIRES" to determine if it is a Mule package or not, instead we test "CATEGORY". Better handling of the situation where a partial package tarball exists on the local hard drive from a previous interupted download. Clean up after a failed package install. (package-get-set-version-prop): Removed. (package-get-installedp): Whitespace clean up. * package-ui.el: Whitespace clean up. (pui-info-buffer): Make it a defcustom. (pui-directory-exists): Removed.

-*- Text -*-

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.


File: dir	Node: Top	This is the top of the INFO tree

  This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
  This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.

  button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
  button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
  ? lists additional keyboard commands.
  h invokes the Info tutorial.
