\r
94 emacslispdir is supposed to be PREFIX/share/emacs/site-lisp
\r
96 In case emacsetcdir is not set to anything else this is to be
\r
99 But what is the value for emacsetcdir used in Gentoo ?
\r
100 ------------------------------------------------------
\r
102 The above "/usr/share/emacs/24.0.90/etc/" is analogous to=20
\r
104 PREFIX/share/emacs/<version>/etc;=20
\r
106 In PREFIX/share/emacs/<version> there is also (23.a in question):
\r
107 drwxr-xr-x. 11 root root 4096 May 31 13:49 etc/
\r
108 drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 May 31 13:49 leim/
\r
109 drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 12288 May 31 13:49 lisp/
\r
110 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 31 13:49 site-lisp/
\r
112 (this site-lisp is different than the emacslispdir in question, so
\r
113 the 'etc' here doesn't match emacsetcdir... but hey! maybe the answer
\r
114 to the above question is: PREFIX/share/emacs/etc ? )
\r
116 Anyway, I'm for inclusion of this patch, provided that there is good
\r
117 explanation of it -- It doesn't seem to break things.
