Bootstrapping Broken

Sunday, November 24, 2002

The CVS seems broken for bootstrapping again. Please try an earlier version (yesterday's) or try doing this after updating to the latest version before running make bootstrap:

  cvs update -r 1.272 lisp/faces.el
  cvs update -r 1.29 lisp/cus-face.el

Steven Tamm has found a solution to the problem. Hopefully dumped Emacs executables will from now on survive system updates. See his post to emacs-devel. The following is his patch.
