Subject: Arch-dependant data should not be installed in the app bundle
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:12:00 +0200

Package: emacs,ns

I see no reason to install arch-dependent data in the app bundle when
--ns-disable-ns-self-contained is passed.  This only causes trouble
for distributors (who typically build several variants -- GTK+, Lucid,
-nox and now the GNUstep port) which share the same common binaries
(in Debian shipped in the emacsXX-bin-common package).

This also doesn't make sense for mortal users who wish to install both
a GTK+ and GNUstep Emacs under the same prefix; a perfectly valid
scenario.

2008-11-12  Yavor Doganov  <yavor <at> gnu.org>  (tiny change)

	* configure.in: Under NS, set `exec_prefix' and `libexecdir'
	relative to `ns_appbindir' only if Emacs is configured for a
	self-contained app.
