Bad database configuration tests in 21.0 25 years, 11 months

I can't configure XEmacs 21.0 using the latest CVS sources; here's the tail of running this configure command: /home/acs/cvsroot/XEmacs-21.0/xemacs/configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/${PWD:t} --with-gcc \ --site-includes=/usr/local/include \ --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib \ --site-runtime-libraries=/usr/local/lib \ --infopath=/usr/local/info --with-mule=no \ '--cflags=-O3 -pipe -march=pentiumpro -ffast-math' \ --with-dialogs=no: checking for Gpm_Open in -lgpm... yes Defining HAVE_GPM xemacs will be linked with "gpmevent.o" Prepending "-lgpm" to $LIBS xemacs will be linked with "event-unixoid.o" checking for database support /home/acs/cvsroot/XEmacs-21.0/xemacs/configure: syntax error near unexpected token `provided.")' /home/acs/cvsroot/XEmacs-21.0/xemacs/configure: /home/acs/cvsroot/XEmacs-21.0/xemacs/configure: line 10970: ` XE_DIE("Required DBM support cannot be provided.")'

Automated database test fails. 25 years, 11 months

David Bush

I Checked out the latest 21-2 from CVS Saturday evening and built it under Cygwin 20.1. I ran the automated tests with "make check" and saw an error on the database test as shown in the excerpt below. The remaining tests were successful. Testing /develop/xemacs/tests/automated/database-tests.el... Unexpected error (wrong-type-argument databasep nil) while executing interpreted code. Test suite execution aborted. Unexpected error (wrong-type-argument databasep nil) while executing byte-compiled code. Test suite execution aborted. database-tests.el: 0 of 2 (0%) tests successful. Test suite execution failed unexpectedly.

Changes at www.xemacs.org and ftp.xemacs.org 25 years, 11 months

Martin Buchholz

I've made the following changes: Added a year 2000 statement to www.xemacs.org since we get a query per week from some poor year 2000 compliance person who would otherwise recommend removing xemacs from the corporate tools disk. Added some PGP public keys (including mine) to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys. Added gnats-3.107-beta.tar.gz to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux. Added mew-1.93.tar.gz to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux. Added kterm-6.2.0.tar.gz to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/kterm. Any reason it wasn't there before? (this is the most recent release, but 2 years old). Updated ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/README. That file used to claim that the subscribe request to xemacs-beta-request(a)xemacs.org should go in the Subject instead of the body. That's not true, is it? Or at least not any more? And yes, we still need lots of help maintaining ftp.xemacs.org and www.xemacs.org. Any volunteers out there? Martin

Re: XEmacs 21 /vs./ my keyboard: I want my DEL back 25 years, 11 months

Karl Kleinpaste

Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro(a)sendmail.org> writes: > I had to set this to return to 21.0 behavior: > (setq delete-key-deletes-forward nil) No, I've already got that. And when I hit a key which is recognized as a DEL, it deletes backward. This is fine, but this is not the problem. The problem is that hitting a key which actually generates \177 is not recognized by XEmacs as a DEL in the first place, but instead as a "BS". I don't even know what a "BS" is supposed to be in the context of an xterm, considering that XEmacs knows what an actual C-h is (and considers it somehow distinct from "BS"), and that I know that the key I think of as DEL does in fact generate \177.

[Success] 21.2 "Artemis" XEmacs Lucid (beta8) on i686-pc-linux 25 years, 11 months

Hayashi Tanaka

Patched up from Ares. Other than xemacs-21.2.7-21.2.8.patch.gz was gzipped twice :-), it works well for me. # BTW, I notice, when I select input method as japanese-canna, # backspace nor delete key don't work properly in fence-mode.

XEmacs 21.2.8 "Artemis" is released 25 years, 11 months

Martin Buchholz

This is another experimental beta release, mostly spent fighting with CVS problems. I have only applied my own patches to this beta, and am still hoping that someone else, perhaps Andy, will deal with the problem of managing everyone else's patches. In particular, Andy, please apply all the Windows-relevant patches. Having already invested some effort in script writing to put out two betas, I will probably volunteer to keep maintaining my personal scripts that actually put out releases. To the Mule folks (and that includes everyone who uses the Mule version, not just the ones with large character sets), there are some important bug fixes in this release. Some Mule bugs were introduced during the great Windows hacking frenzy. to 21.2 beta8 "Artemis" -- A bunch of Mule fixes from Martin Buchholz Martin

[OK] 21.2 "Artemis" XEmacs Lucid (beta8) on i586-pc-linux 25 years, 11 months

Larry Ayers

Patched from beta-7; built and runs fine. One oddity which I've noticed: the following error-message is generated during the build, and this has also been true for the last several 21.0 betas and every 21.2 beta excepting beta-6. Here it is: While compiling toplevel forms in file /usr/local/src/xemacs-21.2-b8/lisp/finder-inf.el: !! Invalid read syntax ((". in wrong context")) When this error appears in a build the result is a non-functional finder.
