* package-admin.el:
* startup.el: Reflect the changes made in packages.el.
* packages.el:
* loadup.el:
* make-docfile.el:
* package-admin.el:
* startup.el:
* update-elc.el (early-package-hierarchies)
(late-package-hierarchies)
(last-package-hierarchies): Renamed these from `early-packages',
`late-packages' and `last-packages'.
* packages.el: Rewrote package-finding logic to separate the
concepts of "package directories" and "package hierarchies".
Added explanation of these concepts.
* setup-paths.el:
* find-paths.el: Added parameter descriptions to some of the
docstrings.
* packages.el, setup-paths.el: Make terminology more explicit
about "package hierarchies"
* startup.el (emacs-roots, emacs-data-roots)
(user-init-directory-base, user-init-directory)
(user-init-file-base, user-init-file-base-list)
(user-home-init-file-base-list)
(load-home-init-file, load-user-init-file-p)
(startup-find-load-path, startup-setup-paths)
(startup-find-load-path-for-packages): Moved these back from
setup-paths.el where they belong---setup-paths.el now again, as
documented, contains no code that sets global variables. (They
were moved from startup.el to setup-paths.el on 2003-02-28.)
Clarify that in the comment at the top.
* setup-paths.el (paths-find-emacs-roots): Restored
`invocation-directory' 'invocation-name' parameters removed on
2003-02-28; they're useful for debugging.

More Neat Stuff for your Emacs -*-Outline-*- This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the Emacs distribution in the future. * The LCD archive There is a large collection of Emacs Lisp code available for FTP at archive.cis.ohio-state.edu; it is actively maintained by Dave Brennan <brennan@hal.com> and Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>. To get started using this archive, do: ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu Once you're in FTP, do cd pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive bin get lispdir.el.Z get LCD-datafile.Z and exit. Then do: compress -d *.Z The lispdir.el package will help you search for useful packages in the LCD-datafile, which is a list of the archive constants. It will even fetch them for you on command. * Eric Ludlam's etalk system Eric Ludlam has written a C program and Emacs Lisp code to do Internet talk through an Emacs window. The package also includes Emacs Lisp code which assists you in using talk to play a number of different interactive games. This system seems to be quite nicely put together and is well documented with a texinfo file that you can integrate into Emacs's own on-line help. It's too large and specialized to include in the Emacs distribution, though. Sources of this system are available for FTP at nic.umass.edu 128.119.166.14 Look under pub/contrib. As of March 23 1993, there are two relevant files: pub/contrib/etalk0.6B.tar.Z --- sources of the talk system pub/contrib/egames0.6B.tar.Z --- more game-support files We don't know whether this can use the additional features in GNU talk.
