Packaging -- yet another confused person 26 years, 6 months

David Bush

I thought that I understood where to put packages, but I just updated to b40-pre2 using CVS and was disabused of this conceit. I had downloaded several of the package tarballs from binary-packages and untar'd them into /usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages. Under b38, the installed xemacs found them. I just rebuilt after updating from CVS and now the new executable does not find the .el's when run out of the build directory. Where have I turned wrong this time. This is cygwin/W95 if it matters. TIA david

sh-script.el fix 26 years, 6 months

This fixes the sh-script problem I was having. 1998-05-12 Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk> * sh-script.el (sh-shell): don't include the extension in the shell name.

RE: font-lock and shell scripts 26 years, 6 months

Ian MacKinnon

There is a question about this in the NTEmacs FAQ I don't know if this is your problem though What do I do about the "No match 2 in highlight..." error I get from sh-script.el? Apparently the sh-script package isn't finding the shell program correctly. Peter Breton <pbreton(a)i-kinetics.com> says that adding a call to sh-set-shell in sh-mode-hook will fix the problem: (add-hook 'sh-mode-hook (defun my-sh-mode-hook-set-shell () ;; Use whatever shell is most appropriate -- it doesn't matter ;; if the actual /bin/ksh file exists on the system or not (sh-set-shell "/bin/ksh"))) --- Ian -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andyp＠parallax.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 1998 9:47 AM To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: font-lock and shell scripts I get fon't lock errors when editing shell scripts - does anyone else see this? andy

Hrvoje Niksic

Cool! Thanks, Didier! BTW, if you can create the specifier, it might be cool to do it by the 21.0 freeze (if the scrolling feature will indeed be in 21.0), which gives you, like, three days. :-) Now that the dividers don't punch me in the eye (has this any meaning in English?:-)) with their color that much, I am beginning to like them. Oh, and BTW: the futures page used to have an entry saying that a `bevel' face property would be cool. As I see code repeated in x_bevel_modeline and the dividor code, maybe it could be merged, somehow? -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- I luv the smell of nature in the morning.

So how is one suppose to set the path packages get installed to? I believe that this is the problem you were looking ＠ eariler Andy, correct? I was just using the default, which went to the version specific directory. I presumed that was b/c it was a beta version. I'll give the latest version a run as soon as I can. . .

The whole point of packages is that they move at a different rate (more slowly hopefuly) to the core distribution thus you should be able to run XEmacs 22.0 against 21.0 packages. Thus you should install in a directory that is failry version independant. BTW re lockups, I had them a lot in b37/b38 but I haven't had any since b39 pre1. andy
