Specifically, auctex preview-latex is broken. Researching a bit on the
internet indicates that the released version of auctex is incompatible
with recent version of ghostview. The solution is to upgrade to the CVS
version of auctex.

That's not very specific...

I've no idea, but I imagine the GNU ELPA version will be updated when a
fixed AUCTeX release is made.

Both these things have now happened.

I may have been a little premature. Maybe just the ELPA branch got
updated, not yet the ELPA package. But it should happen soon.

The ELPA archive is auto-rebuilt be a nightly script (for
a north-american definition of night).

I've reverted my changes on the elpa branch so that auctex 11.86 will be
the current, most recent version again soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Actually, I'm sorry for the mess, and I'm partly to blame for it.

With the change I made to the scripts, you could have simply changed the
version number back to 11.86, which would have reverted GNU ELPA to the
11.86 package while letting you hack on the 11.87 code until it's ready
without having to revert it.
But I only realized that you could do this after you had reverted the
code changes.  IOW too late.

Well, no big deal.

I think, I'll wait for a decision about the auctex to elpa move now.
I'm very much attracted by your idea since I'd really love to be able to
make on-time auctex bugfix releases.  The current release procedure is
hairy, especially for XEmacs and Windows builds.  And the elpa update is
manual and error-prone.  That said, I have no clue about autotools, am
no expert in Makefiles, and all the other stuff that's at least required
for building auctex XEmacs packages.  So while I have a clear
preference, I wouldn't be a great help turning it into reality...

Bye,
Tassilo
