Lisp code contributions to XEmacs? 27 years

Rajesh Vaidheeswarran

I have written a minor mode p4.el that works with the Perforce SCM (www.perforce.com). Unfortunately, this doesn't meet the criteria of GNU Emacs maintainers since they have expressed reservations about accepting code that might encourage the use of non-free software. I would like to know what the policy is for XEmacs maintainers to accept lisp contributions to XEmacs. If anyone can let me know that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks rv PS: I post this to gnu.emacs.sources frequently. If there is an xemacs sources newsgroup, please let me know, and I can post it there too.

Re: 'italic 'bold etc faces not inheriting from default? 27 years

Can anyone tell me why this is? Because you did the set-face-font too late. If you had the following line in your X resources, your other fonts will get set up just fine. Emacs.default.attributeFont: Arial:Regular:10 -- Colin

This is really no different than publishing a XEmacs RPM for linux, .deb for debian linux, solaris installable package, or a SMIT installable package for AIX. Just do it. :) I haven't done any installshield programming in 3 years, but if anybody needs gruntwork, lemme know, I might be able to remember. -Bill P.

InstallShield 27 years

Olivier Galibert

RMS says that he needs the details of what InstallShield does to state about the legality of its use. Since I've never touched this thing, could someone who did answer the question ? I will forward the information to him. OG.

Re: Where is ph.texi and message.texi? 27 years

Shouldn't message be part of Gnus?

Re: [PATCH] TM usability enhancements 27 years

ben(a)666.com wrote: > Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio; name="19980611-1.rm" I guess I didn't make it clear enough: I left the .patch extension as octet-stream because there are valid binary files (on the PC) whose file extensions may be ".patch". However, your idea of dynamically determining the type based upon file contents in an excellent suggestion (and would also solve the current .diff/.patch dichotomy). Just a simple text/binary test (ala Perl) would be sufficient for a large number of cases. I'll try to get something working in a couple of days or so. -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo(a)sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

Where is ph.texi and message.texi? 27 years

Raymond Toy

I want to finish adding the direntries for ph and message, but I can't seem to find them in the online CVS system. Well, I found ph, but there's nothing there but the Attic directory, and I can't find message at all. Thanks, Ray

XEmacs 21.0 and the options menu 27 years

Didier Verna

The options menu is ported to Custom, but we have no upgrade function from the old format to the new one. For most people, the options file is loaded *after* .emacs, but XEmacs 21.0 will save custom stuff in .emacs. This will lead to problems when people will use again the options menu: their new settings will be saved in .emacs, but won't have any effect for the next sessions since they will be overriden by the options file. So what should we do about this ? Can we possibly tell people not to touch their options menu, or to re-set their whole settings manually ? Hmmm... -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T. INF C214 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel.

Well, the modeline is not 'pressable' per se... its just a nice side-effect of being able to specify negative modeline-shadow-thickness values. Although kyle's wish of a beveled extent property might help here. -bill p.
