[xemacs-hg @ 2003-02-14 12:05:06 by ben] speedups to build process autoload.el: Factor out common code in generate-{c-,}file-autoloads-1 into new function generate-autoload-ish-1. \(I was originally going to use this for custom as well but ended up thinking better of it.) cus-dep.el: Cache the old computed values in custom-load.el and reuse them as necessary, to speed up running cus-dep (which would take 25-30 seconds to do all files in lisp/*, lisp/*/* on my Pentium III 700). Use `message' not `princ' to get correct newline behavior. Output messages showing each file we do actually process. update-elc-2.el: Rewrite algorithm to be much faster -- cache calls to directory-files and don't make needless calls to file-exists-p, file-directory-p because they're way way slow. Autoload early and only when update-elc has told us to. update-elc.el: If no files need byte compilation, signal to update-elc-2 to do any necessary autoload updating (using the file REBUILD_AUTOLOADS) rather than doing it ourselves, which would be way slow. Ignore updates to custom-load.el and auto-autoloads.el when checking to see whether autoloads need updating. Optimize out many unnecessary calls to file-exists-p to speed it up somewhat. (#### The remaining time is 50% or more in locate-file; this is presumably because, even though it has a cache, it's still statting each file to determine it's actually there. By calling directory-files ourselves, building a tree, and then looking in that tree, we could drastically shorten the time needed to do the locate operation.)

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.
