[xemacs-hg @ 2002-03-18 10:13:39 by ben] stragglers: config.inc.samp, xemacs.mak: Deal with never-ending perl quoting problems. README: Include a long, long description of the suggested directory layout for developing XEmacs. This should probably go as part of a larger document, a "Getting Started with Developing XEmacs". #### Does such a document exist? etc\unicode\mule-ucs\*: New directory, containing translation files for the remaining charsets that are not in unicode\unicode-consortium but are in mule-ucs. etc\unicode\other\*: New directory, containing translation files made up on an ad-hoc basis. etc\unicode\README: Update. * Some ChangeLog entries from stuff that got applied long ago never got checked in, due to the nasty SCCS "oops, i forgot again ..." bug. mule\lao.el: Convert stuff to XEmacs-style. mule\thai-xtis.el: Move thai-xtis-chars.el stuff to here, since we can now handle encountering characters of a charset before the charset is defined. mule\thai-xtis-chars.el: Removed, moved into thai-xtis.el. mule\mule-msw-init.el: Move some stuff into mule-msw-init-late.el, which references charsets and thus needs to be delayed until after all charsets have been created. mule\mule-msw-init-late.el: New file, some stuff from mule-msw-init.el. dumped-lisp.el: Load the remaining languages -- lao, indian, devanagari, tibetan. Load new file mule-msw-init-late. unicode.el: Load the new tables for Ethiopic, Vietnamese, and other languages extracted from mule-ucs. mule\lao.el: Convert stuff to XEmacs-style. mule\thai-xtis.el: Move thai-xtis-chars.el stuff to here, since we can now handle encountering characters of a charset before the charset is defined. mule\thai-xtis-chars.el: Removed, moved into thai-xtis.el. mule\mule-msw-init.el: Move some stuff into mule-msw-init-late.el, which references charsets and thus needs to be delayed until after all charsets have been created. mule\mule-msw-init-late.el: New file, some stuff from mule-msw-init.el. mule\lao.el: Convert stuff to XEmacs-style. mule\thai-xtis.el: Move thai-xtis-chars.el stuff to here, since we can now handle encountering characters of a charset before the charset is defined. mule\thai-xtis-chars.el: Removed, moved into thai-xtis.el. mule\mule-msw-init.el: Move some stuff into mule-msw-init-late.el, which references charsets and thus needs to be delayed until after all charsets have been created. mule\mule-msw-init-late.el: New file, some stuff from mule-msw-init.el. dumped-lisp.el: Load the remaining languages -- lao, indian, devanagari, tibetan. Load new file mule-msw-init-late. unicode.el: Load the new tables for Ethiopic, Vietnamese, and other languages extracted from mule-ucs. mule\lao.el: Convert stuff to XEmacs-style. mule\thai-xtis.el: Move thai-xtis-chars.el stuff to here, since we can now handle encountering characters of a charset before the charset is defined. mule\thai-xtis-chars.el: Removed, moved into thai-xtis.el. mule\mule-msw-init.el: Move some stuff into mule-msw-init-late.el, which references charsets and thus needs to be delayed until after all charsets have been created. mule\mule-msw-init-late.el: New file, some stuff from mule-msw-init.el. fns.c, lread.c: Add variable require-prints-loading-message to cause loading messages to get printed when a file is loading during a "require", which normally doesnt happen. This can be set using env var XEMACSDEBUG to debug problems with non-interactive compilation. Modify load-internal so it prints "Requiring: ..." instead of "Loading: ..." when appropriate.

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.
