(dired-use-ls-dired): New variable. (dired-directory): Document the rules better. (dired-insert-headerline): Function deleted. (dired-revert): Pass no args to dired-readin. (dired-move-to-filename): First try using dired-filename property. (dired-move-to-end-of-filename): Likewise. (dired-why): Try to show the start of this page of warnings. (dired-log): Insert the buffer name at start of page, not end. (dired-log-summary): If just one failure, explain it in echo area. (dired-internal-noselect): Always set dired-directory, when buffer is not new. Pass dir-or-list, not dirname, to dired-mode. Call dired-readin with no args. Don't call dired-after-readin-hook here. (dired-find-buffer-nocreate): Expand dirname. Expand the dir from dired-directory to compare with dirname. (dired-readin): Take no args. Get the directory from dired-directory. Run dired-before-reading hook inside save-excursion. Run dired-after-readin-hook here. Don't make undo entries at all. Call dired-readin-insert with no args. Don't change indentation here. Don't insert headerline here. (dired-readin-insert): Take no args. Get dir and file-list from dired-directory. Call dired-insert-directory the new way. Don't insert "wildcard" info here. (dired-insert-directory): New arg FILE-LIST. First arg now DIR, always just the directory. This function fully handles setting up the buffer text: update indentation, insert headerline and "wildcard" info. Pass --dired arg if appropriate; put info in dired-filename props. Don't expand file names here.

	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS

Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
instead of just "make":

  $ ./configure
  $ make bootstrap

The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
before it builds the final Emacs binary.

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
update.  Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
procedure:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ cd lisp
  $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
  $ cd ..
  $ make

(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)

If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".

Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
applicable to those systems as well.

Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS
control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el.  This could produce CVS conflicts
next time that you resync with the CVS.  If you see such conflicts,
overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the
CVS repository.  For example:

    cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el

Please report any bugs in the CVS versions to [e-mail].
