Hi, Emacs!
Yet another bootstrap failure:
Friday 2006-06-06, ~15:00 UCT
% cvs update
% ./configure --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
% make bootstrap
.......
.......
Compiling /home/acm/emacs/emacs/lisp/eshell/em-alias.el
In toplevel form:
eshell/em-alias.el:96:1:Error: Required feature `esh-groups' was not provided

Am I doing something wrong?
Unless one has the energy to debug build failures, it's hardly worth the
hassle of cvs-updating Emacs at the moment. It _never_ builds cleanly -
unless the moon is currently blue. It seems it's not just me.
This constant brokenness of the CVS head saps infinite energy from me.
This probably isn't just me, either. I really can't be bothered to debug
the latest commission every time I do a CVS update. And yes, I'm aware
I've broken the CVS build in the past, too.
There was some talk a while ago of commissions triggering an automatic
build. This would be nice.
A makefile with proper dependencies might also be a solution.
Please can we fix this with some urgency?
