Now that Xemacs/Cygwin is installable from "cygwin-setup", what is the
difference between installing it from this, as opposed to using the
"xemacs-setup" that we get from xemacs.org? If I've been updating my
installation over time from "xemacs-setup", what will happen the next
time I update it from "cygwin-setup"?

Hi
A new version of 'xemacs' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION:
============
A powerful, highly customizable open source text editor and application
development system
CYGWIN NEWS:
============
* Build with cygwin-1.5.7
* Removed --with-dragndrop from configure line
This option prevented some W32 processes (notibly Opera/IE/Netscape)
from exiting
when XEmacs was still running
* Workaround for the warning message
"Couldn't find an obvious default for the root of the
XEmacs hierarchy."
at Xemacs startup. Obviously it *finds* all of its files
* Added a copy of sample.init.el,a sample XEmacs initialization script,
to
/usr/share/doc/xemacs-21.4.14
See the comments at the start of the file for more information
* Removed empty /etc/postinstall directory from binary distribution
* Added crypt and minires as dependencies in setup.hint
* Removed cygipc from build dependencies in xemacs.README
INSTALLATION:
=============
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up the
above mentioned package from the 'Editors' category.
DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update.
These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have
the latest version of this package fairly soon:
In the US
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/
has reliable high bandwidth connections.
QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
