XEmacs 21 Packages CVS Repository

Starting with XEmacs 21.1, a lot of the major functionality of XEmacs has been moved into separately downloadable and installable packages. The upshot of this is that you only need to grab what you want to use. And the best part is that packages can be updated without having to redump XEmacs!

For package installation instructions, refer to the Quickstart Package Guide.

Please consult the Packages section in the XEmacs Release Notice Archive.

The packages are currently divided into 2 categories, Standard, and MULE (MUlti Lingual Emacs).

Here is a list of the packages available as of this writing, and their corresponding Mercurial name (for those of you who will grab them that way) and their position in the tree for those who wish to browse from this web interface. You can also just jump here to the top of the package tree.

Please see the XEmacs Mercurial Repository page if you would like to contribute to package development via direct CVS commits. See MAINTAINERS in the packages directory for the current list of package maintainers.
