Just a moment, Maybe we are talking about different things, Xemacs comes with a package styem comprable to the debian system, that is only core lisp packages are shipped, addtionally pkg have to be installed with a utility called PUI. So the Xemacs user does not have to download the lisp files, unpack them, and byte compile it. Now like a debian user he just grab install and then upgrade the package he wishes. As a debian user you *should* love this. Now you mean an unwanted feature for the Emacs people? well sometimes the additional lisp packages shipped with Emacs are quite old, in one case gnus more that 1 1/2 years old. Or you mean for the debian people? In both case I disagree. For debian you can see that some package are just not up to date, and besides this is just doubled work and not necessary. Uwe
