Still, I think this would need to be solved to be a serious contender for replacing the Debian-inherited Emacs package for Ubuntu. One important rea= son is that many sites do not allow downloading and installing packages except from the OS vendor repositories, so cutting that out would mean that some users would not have access to 3rd party elisp. (Python has a similar problem with regards to PyPI, as I'm sure is the case with other such frameworks.) -Barry --Sig_/slsW+Y+IZnRdIW6lhPS1Cxp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRkqchAAoJEBJutWOnSwa/lTEQAIOdV9w5mvuDY6XBosG2BkjT i3cZ1rVuMTEWH+o59A7yWDra71kvYuu6ya1L/CbLfsVu/fwEEbSpE/N2k0XRmJT2 sj04+J9DpHqxOZOtWcy5HsiBKEn00bmbfhXV8lDNhcJU3UZaqftE9476iE9hF1ww VF3m01ZWiNFGiRpX0NF1iOvu5yvEgIR4bInemzvvr+mCgl1JNPybLGYxcNfWe+MW ckramEFiOUoruJuBMD8A+aspviCQ4O4jXl7fbg62p3AKEPc+e/7PAx80e1tGLlWL nZPWh5EBIIwbszcU12Rtt7A/S5QeT5t1KjaVeJzRtYcOYSlgeo54Nwo9U3RwNWL0 ecjAQqCS8vEC7wayelsC+cRuu1VJ0ETDV/T84CwhkfcxvGtDiQTxmUJ+/DspekoC rxAou/zbYfZy1/OozlV83BlOMD2eZ7uoG1WX2yghN8U5TT76tN8oF/p4zrp82A7H McSXcoeemJ5HEXE57zq6qbncGFwc5u4eeLj4+v8ePp0YbL3O232m8UHtlVYKXMTB M6UuPyOYd+LQ4dKiiEar02gCV7zNnq6EJFSGWFBxlfVwmw8+SujR1Fc6krUG2Bar 8BcxBPiHyh21Am0kb8+2L1V5Y3OjKZY5pqaFaETkvrDb14Y12n7QCZruJlfRRJAB 1WY5q0v1zCfd3Z8LvwB7 =lOvg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/slsW+Y+IZnRdIW6lhPS1Cxp--
