This patch bombs on XEmacs 19.1[45] :-(.  There is no vm.el ...

Lars, please remove this patch (it's very ugly hack IMHO anyway, you
are braking very basic Emacs semantics here). Please Please.

I have my mail-utils.el gzipped so that the .el version of that doesn't exist
either. There are probably other people who have thrown out the .el
files altogether.

Why is it necessary anyway? Local .el/.elc dependencies should be
handled on the Makefile level (or at least in a simular manner). At
least XEmacs finds the .el files before .elc deeper in the load-path.

Jan

Please please

P.S. In case you are wondering I think just reversing the .elc/.el
load order is very ugly too.

No, but there is a vm.elc, which happens to contain nothing but 4
(require)s.  Linking vm.elc to vm.el made it progress without problem.

Nope, nope.  It's quite nice, actually, since the only other solution
is to delete all the .elc files first.

Fix in Red Gnus v0.62.

Just trust me.  It's the right thing to do.  :-)

It's ugly. It's ugly. It's ugly. :-P . What Gnus does with its own
files is its problem but it should never EVER load other .el files
before .elc files. That just isn't right. What you want is to not load
the Gnus .elc if you have never .el files. Just get rid of them:

What If I am hacking mail-utils.el at the moment?

Trust me, just apply this patch :-)

I think we should just go back to that "delete-all-elc-files".  Or
somebody could write some elisp functions to track dependencies and Do
The Right Thing.

I've reinstated the old Makefiles in 0.63.
