[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-interactive-package-query): Whitespace clean up. (package-get-update-all): Ditto. (package-get-all): Ditto. (package-get-init-package): Ditto. (package-get-info): New. (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. (pui-package-dir-list): Removed. (pui-add-install-directory): Removed. (package-ui-download-menu): New. (package-ui-pre-release-download-menu): New. (pui-set-local-package-get-directory): New. (pui-package-symbol-char): Whitespace clean up. (pui-update-package-display): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-key): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-delete): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-delete-key): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-event): Ditto. (pui-toggle-verbosity-redisplay): Ditto. (pui-install-selected-packages): Ditto. (pui-help-echo): Ditto. (pui-display-info): Ditto. (pui-list-packages): Ditto. * packages.el: Whitespace clean up.

This directory contains the source for the setup program for the XEmacs
net releases.

For commentary on how to do a release please see `package-net.el'

This code has been adapted from the cygwin net release installer. In
particular note that the cygwin net release installer is actively
maintained and therefore we will want to incorporate improvements from
that. I have therefore tried to use the cygwin way wherever
possible. I have however cleaned up the code somewhat so that there
are not billions of warnings.

This program should get built as part of the standard XEmacs
make. Note however that if you use trhe cygwin build you will need a
NON CYGWIN VERSION OF ZLIB.
