>Description:
pkgsrc/editors/xemacs fetches two extra distfiles, which are not
required:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 931709 Sep 11 19:54 xemacs-21.4.17-elc.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1634004 Sep 11 19:56 xemacs-21.4.17-info.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 10626826 Sep 11 19:53 xemacs-21.4.17.tar.gz
The contents of the -elc and -info archives is already contained in the xemacs-21.4.17.tar.gz
and hence they do not need to be fetched separately.
In addition, there's a tar.bz2 file available aswell, which is smaller
than the tar.gz file. It might be worthwile to fetch that one instead
(for people with modem connections or so).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install xemacs from pkgsrc, CVS Id:
