(source files are not corrupted, in any case.) there was discussion previously about some script to be run immediately after a "cvs checkout" but before "make bootstrap". i suggest we write that script, include "chmod +w $cannot_be_ro_file_list", and publish the way to build emacs from cvs as: cvs checkout ... cd emacs sh -x prep-bootstrap # ("-x" for entertainment purposes :-) make bootstrap prep-bootstrap need not be distributed. thi
