Yes, i do know of all the present Emacs LISP packages, but are these
really *supposed* to work for XEmacs21 as well? I've downloaded the
auctex package from potato but it didn't install because no emacs19/20
was present and neither XEmacs20 nor XEmacs21 were good enough
obviously.
So is XEmacs21 expected to work with the already present single LISP
packages (would probably be best) or does it depend on the XEmacs
LISP-packages as distributed via ftp.xemacs.org? Do the latter need
to be debianized for our XEmacs21 package or are the already present
versions sufficient enough? You see, i'm a bit confused... :-/
Thank you, P. *8^)
