BTW, the configure file in the pretest seems to have the broken mktime
test.  I've commited "configure" regenerated with a non-broken version
of autoconf, but you probably want to check that before making the
actual release...

[Seems to be broken in autoconf 2.61, and fixed in 2.63; don't know
about 2.62]

I think the 15 line patch for this problem:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/configure?root=emacs&r1=1.308&r2=1.309

is a safer bet at this stage than the 5000 line one involved in using
autoconf 2.63.

I've no idea whether 2.61 is particularly any safer than 2.63 -- the
version used in the dev tree seems kinda random...

Presumably it's whatever the most recent committer had installed.

AFAIK it's always been 2.61, with or without the Debian patch that
fixes this mktime issue, as discussed last July.

Is there a test procedure?

Thanks. Apparently there is an undersea cable having faults between me 
and gnu.org, so I'm still at 72kB of 41.0MB of the download I kicked off 
half an hour ago (reportedly it won't be fixed until March 5).

We need librsvg >= 2.11 (released Aug 2005).  I've changed configure to
check for this.

I'll be sure to reapply this patch the next time I roll a tarball.

This pretest compiles with --without-x and works on the following
system:

  Linux fencepost 2.6.16.29-xen #1 SMP Wed Dec 6 07:32:36 EST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

However, the problem with gratuitous compilation of Lisp files, which
was reported in Bug #2151, is still there.  I will send a separate
message as a followup to the bug report, suggesting some new ideas on
how to resolve that.

Indeed, nothing has changed in this regard.  E.g. I haven't yet
installed my patch for it.

I'd like to tell what features were detected, but I don't know how.  IIRC 
xemacs had 'describe-installation' that did this.

Thanks :)

I've updated the FreeBSD ports/editors/emacs-devel package to use this
tarball as the source:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132347

Once it passes review from the Ports team it will be committed to our
CVS tree too.
