But that's the easy part...the slightly harder part is getting it
extracted and built (e.g. using scripts as posted by Jan Vroonhof). And,
from what I know, there even harder part is getting it done online so that
you can hit an "update gnus" button in a message online (e.g. Lars'
announcements) that will fire it all of, then "exit" your current gnus
version and fire up the new gnus version while you wait (with bonus points
for getting you back in where you left off - reading the announcement
message :-)).
Speaking of all that...does anyone else use both Emacs & XEmacs (depending
on mood, system, etc)? For gnus builds I usually do something like this:
mv lisp lisp-src
rslink lisp-src lisp-e19 # rslink makes a shadow symlink tree
rslink lisp-src lisp-xemacs
ln -s lisp-e19 lisp
GNU make
rm lisp
ln -s lisp-xemacs lisp
GNU make EMACS=xemacs lick
then I put the appropriate lisp-e19 or lisp-xemacs directory in my
load-path. Some questions...
1) Do I really need to byte compile them separately? I've had problems
using .elc from one emacs in the other in the past. Currently we're
using Emacs 19.31-34 (depending on platform) and XEmacs 19.13-14.
2) I don't suppose there's any easy (and unobtrusive) ways to incorporate
something in the standard distribution to allow for this kind of setup,
is there?
