Relevant lines form my .private.sync:
copy usr/athena/share -f -p
copy usr/athena/share/* -p -f
speaker-for-the-dead:~: more /srvd/usr/athena/share/emacs/19.34/lisp/.rconf
copy *;rdl
ignore *RCS;l
Hmmm, it looks like maybe the .rconf on the srvd is causing the
lossage. Maybe mkserv needs to add "-nosrcrules" to the synctree
invocation. Maybe the .rconf files for emace shouldn't get installed
on the packs. Thoughts?
