Richard, shall I? > > I was not following this discussion and I don't know what the issue is. > Eli, could you summarize it? First, this is about the unicode-2 branch, not about CVS HEAD. The problem is that a tarball created with "make-dist --snapshot" out of a freshly checked-out CVS unicode-2 branch tree would not build because the files lisp/international/charprop.el and lisp/international/uni-*.el are generated by "make bootstrap" only if there's the `admin' subdirectory. (I asked why it looks for that directory, but didn't see any answers.) Handa-san tried to fix this by checking the missing files into CVS, but Miles objected, saying that generated files should not be there. I think this is a non-issue, because make-dist is not supposed to produce a workable tarball unless you bootstrap first. See admin/make-tarball.txt, it explicitly says to bootstrap. As I see this, a snapshot should be exactly like a release tarball, i.e. it should include all the *.elc files etc. So one needs to build Emacs before creating a snapshot. So I don't think these files should be in CVS, and I don't think there's any problem in make-dist. Rather, before creating a snapshot, people should say "make bootstrap" in their sandbox.
