That sounds like a backwards dependency. Volker, shouldn't it be that xemacs depends on xemacs-emacs-common, and that xemacs-emacs-common is standalone? If you agree, I can change the setup.hints. > > 2) > XEmacs comes with AUCTEX, so if one should use xemacs-emacs-common, > WHY not adding auctex to it? I didn't think this was a showstopper for uploading -3, but hope that Steffen can look into it and release a -4 someday. > 3) > Installing Emacs22 via setup has some strange behaviour. > Selecting emacs-X11 package does not select those packages from which it > depend (emacs,...). That's because of a setup.exe limitation - it does not pick up dependencies that are not on the same server as the package you are picking up. Now that I have uploaded emacs to cygwin.com, that should no longer be an issue (but in the meantime, Steffen could have worked around that by copying a few more packages to his site). > > Beside this clicking on emacs-X11 first selects the old 21 packages then > 22. Again due to setup.exe weirdness when pulling to setup.ini from different servers with different ideas about what version should be experimental. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
