No!. All the rest of the text can go, but you should still install mule-base by hand. The difference is that you now can do that after compiling. The reason is that the package placement code takes the location of 'mule-base' as the hint where to put Mule related packages. So the last line should be replaced by mule-base - Needed if you compiled XEmacs with MULE. Jan P.S. If you don't care about Mule packages going into xemacs-packages, it is not needed.

You've got to change (extent-data e) to (extent-property e 'data) at two places IIRC. The current CVS version of bbdb (from the XEmacs cvs server) needs to be resynchronized with the current bbdb version.

BUG REPORT: redisplay assertion failure 25 years, 8 months

Martin Buchholz

When I start up my heavily customized[1] xemacs, it starts up a shell buffer automatically. If I do this simple operation: C-x 2 I get two windows (as expected). The top one is still displaying the first shell prompt. The lower window is completely empty (this definitely seems wrong). Now Button-1 click in the lower (empty) window. Kaboom!! Fatal error: assertion failed, file /net/wanchai/export1/xemacs/home/martin/x/ws/dev/src/redisplay.c, line 6799, cur_elt >= 0 This has been reproduced in debug and optimized, mule and latin-1 xemacs. I cannot (yet) reproduce it in a -vanilla xemacs. I might work on fixing this, but I'm afraid I won't return from an excursion into redisplay.c for a year or so. Footnotes: [1] That's customized, not `custom'-ized. P.S. Here's the C stack: #0 0xee9f4340 in _kill () #1 0xabea0 in fatal_error_signal (sig=6) at /net/wanchai/export1/xemacs/home/martin/x/ws/dev/src/emacs.c:269 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0xee9f4340 in

If you want to compile with MULE, you need the mule-base package installed. Otherwise, no package is required before compilation. The correct answer is no. and in this block of text: Unfortunately this requires that a few packages are already in place. You will have to install them by hand as above or use a SUMO tarball. This requirement will hopefully go away in the future. The packages you need are: ... and optionally: mailcrypt - If you have PGP installed and want to verify the signature of the index file. mule-base - Needed if you want to compile XEmacs with MULE. The last line should be removed. I'll send off a patch to xemacs-patches.

BUG REPORT: Font menu font selection 25 years, 8 months

Martin Buchholz

If I start up xemacs, the font used is Lucidatypewriter 14. The Options Menu the agrees with this, as indicated by the green diamonds. The font was set using the following X resource: Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-Lucidatypewriter-Medium-R-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* If I then change the font SIZE from 14 to 18 using Options->Size->18, the font size does indeed change, but the typeface changes from Lucidatypewriter to Courier. I have to use Options->Font->Lucidatypewriter to get back to my preferred typeface. This seems like a clear user interface bug. Although `custom' is involved here, this is not obvious to the untrained observer. Martin

The following from README.packages seems to no longer be correct. Steve? Note to MULE users ------------------ Unlike all other packages the mule-base package is used at build/dump time. This means that you need this available before compiling XEmacs with MULE.

BUG REPORT: mule-packages sometimes incorrectly used by latin-1 xemacs 25 years, 8 months

Martin Buchholz

If I have a directory structure like this: /foo/pkgs/xemacs-packages /foo/pkgs/mule-packages and I configure --package-path=~/.xemacs:/foo/pkgs/ --without-mule ... Then the resulting xemacs, when run in place, has a load-path that includes subdirectories of /foo/pkgs/mule-packages. And this warning appears: (1) (warning/warning) Autoload error in: /usr/users/martin/x/pkgs/mule-packages/lisp/skk/auto-autoloads: Cannot open load file: mule I think I'm using the package system the way it was designed, and the mule-packages subdirectories should not appear on the load-path. Although I can't actually find documentation to that effect. If you (Michael or Steve) cannot reproduce this, then I'll try to fix it. But I'm having trouble understanding all the package elisp files. Clue: (packages-split-package-path) doesn't seem to know anything about package-locations. Martin

No, the port of the code to specifiers never even got started. I used to have an alpha working version, but I gave up because `background-mode' is unimplementable in the current framework. I agree that most (but not all!) of the current problems were caused by my never-quite-finished merge with XEmacs' faces.el. The unbundled code had, however, other problems; for instance, I recall that you couldn't dump XEmacs with code that used `defface'. > > In FSF Emacs this is trivial since customize exactly matches the > > FSF font model.

True. font.el provides some of the needed functionality, but it's way too naive to be taken seriously (no offense Bill!)

I think the *default* customize settings (such as in `defface' forms) should be overridden with X resources. On the other hand, hand-changed customize settings (such as with `M-x customize-face') should override X resources.
