This will do the job.  It doesn't compile the lisp file, but I
frequently don't bother to do this anyway.  :-)

I changed it to work without symlinks because I sync the files to Windows, and I added make, and it works great. Thanks!

# ORGDIR is a symbolic link. We get rid of it
rm -f $DIR

I'm guessing that should be rm -f $ORGDIR then?

Again, thank you!

Admittetly there are larger packages like gnus that have een split over many files, but still org-mode is PRETTY BIG. I am glad that it still feels lightweight to you, this is one of the goals of its development. I would always recommend doing the compilation step. It speeds up loading of the file, and the general performance is much better. Still most operations are fast enough so that you will not feel the difference. However, producing a large agenda, or in particular recomputing a large spreadsheet will be a lot faster with compiled org.elc. The one case when you should not use a compiled file is when sending be the traceback of an error - that is much more useful when made with uncompiled code. - Carsten From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Pete Phillips Subject: Re: Re: Org update script Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 06:56:46 +0100 Message-ID: <10436.1177567006@lap1.smtl.co.uk> References: <87abww144m.fsf@pdrechsler.de> Return-path: Received: from mailman by lists.gnu.org with tmda-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1Hh01z-0006Cd-BP for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:12:51 -0400 Received: from exim by lists.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.43) id 1Hh01x-0006CP-Nx for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:12:50 -0400 Received: from [199.232.76.173] (helo=monty-python.gnu.org) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1Hh01x-0006CL-Aw for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:12:49 -0400 Received: from mail.smtl.co.uk ([193.131.77.174] helo=mailhost.smtl.co.uk) by monty-python.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.60) (envelope-from ) id 1HgzwE-0005S3-3i for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:06:54 -0400 In-Reply-To: Message from Carsten Dominik of "Thu, 26 Apr 2007 06:41:42 +0200."
