1 ;;; site-load.el --- Template file for site-wide XEmacs customization
2 ;; Copyright (C) 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
4 ;; Author: Steven L. Baur <steve@xemacs.org>
7 ;; This file is part of XEmacs.
11 ;; This is a prototype site-load.el file.
12 ;; The site-load.el mechanism is provided so XEmacs installers can easily
13 ;; dump lisp packages with XEmacs that do not get dumped standardly.
15 ;; The file `site-packages' if it exists should look something like:
16 ;; (setq site-load-packages '(
17 ;; "../lisp/modes/cc-mode.elc"
18 ;; "../lisp/utils/redo.elc"
19 ;; "../lisp/packages/scroll-in-place.elc"
23 ;; The first line and the last line must be exact. Each of the packages
24 ;; listed must be double quoted, have either an absolute path, or a relative
25 ;; to the build src directory path *and* be bytecompiled prior to the attempt
26 ;; to dump. They also must explicitly have the .elc extension.
28 ;; Because this is a trial implementation and the file is shared with
29 ;; make-docfiles, syntax is strict and unforgiving. So sue me. It
30 ;; is still better than the way it used to be.
32 ;; Also note that site-packages belongs in the top level directory not the
33 ;; lisp directory for use with --srcdir configurations.

37 "File name containing the list of extra packages to dump with XEmacs.")

58 ;; This file is intended for end user additions.
59 ;; Put other initialization here, like setting of language-environment, etc.
