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?
