load-path in Emacsen

2006-03-09 Thread Sven Joachim

Suggestion to gzip the Elisp source files

2005-09-04 Thread Sven Joachim
In GNU Emacs 22, Auto Compression mode is enabled by default. Therefore and because of the growing number of packages coming with Emacs, it makes sense to compress the Elisp source in the emacs-el package, saving probably some 25-30 Megabytes of disk space. Also, in a way these files are documenta
