Both builds went just fine, and Emacs installs and (so far) runs fine as well. A couple observations, neither of which seems critical to address for the release: 1) The installer adds files to /Applications/Emacs.app if it already exists, rather than replacing that tree completely. On one of my machines, /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin now contains both emacs-22.0.91 and emacs-22.0.99. If I move Emacs.app to the trash before installing, the result is cleaner, with just emacs-22.0.99. (Similarly for other files: the old DOC file, some elisp and image files, etc., were left over from the old version.) Is this intentional or expected, or a bug? 2) Out of curiosity, I compared the Intel and PPC trees with diff. Not only were the executables different, which was expected of course, but also leim/quail had differences in the .el.gz and .elc files. Picking a .el.gz file at random, the only difference I found was in the date stamp. Are these files in fact going to be identical aside from the date stamp in all builds? If so, perhaps like the .elc files in the lisp tree they should be pre-generated for the release and pretest distributions. Ken
