I agree. > when I noticed an > interesting fact: none of my emacs packages actually ships with a > file in in /etc, and I have checked: gnus, vm, and psgml. But they ship the empty directories. ;-) So you don't setup autoloads or auto-mode-alist entries? I guess the load-path add-on of subdirectories is done by modern emacsen anyway, but are they at the right place? If so, perhaps we should discontinue the habit of adding anything to the load-path. > However, if files are shipped in /etc, they _have_ to be > marked as conffiles, I think. Do we need another non-conffile directory to put startup files? I don't. Does anyone else? Peter
