I'm tired, and it's late, and I haven't given this a lot of thought, but what would happen if we just switched things around so that the real directory is /usr/share/<flavor>/site-lisp, and /usr/share/emacs/<version> is the symlink. Then add-on packages could safely place their files in /usr/share/<flavor>/site-lisp, and across minor version upgrades, the symlink would just change. If that would work, and wouldn't be too dangerous to implement, then I think I like it better than adding an additional directory, though I'm not decided either way yet... Either way, I'd like to fix the problem if we can come up with a good solution. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
