gutter-items.el bombs in the latest 21.2 CVS 25 years, 4 months

SL Baur

Why is gutter-items.el being dumped with an X-less XEmacs? Loading gutter-items.el...*** Error in XEmacs initialization (void-function buffers-menu-omit-invisible-buffers) *** Backtrace really-early-error-handler((void-function buffers-menu-omit-invisible-buffers)) There needs to be some kind of guard on this line here: (add-tab-to-gutter) I'm commenting it out for the time being. uname -a: SunOS miho 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4u sparc ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/devel' '--cflags=-O' '--with-mule' '--without-x11' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' XEmacs 21.2-b18 "Toshima" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.6'. Where should the build process find the source code? /usr/local/devel/xemacs-21.2 What installation prefix should install use? /usr/local/devel What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use? `s/sol2.h' and `m/sparc.h' What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -O Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? yes What window system should XEmacs use? none Runtime library search path: /usr/local/lib Compiling in support for GNU DBM.

Maybe if the tabs where on window configurations, rather than on buffers... Isn't that what Ben's way of doing it would provide? Each tab's area could be like a frame is now, with its own window config stack and window stacking order. It would be another thing on the list of `console', `device', `frame', `window', `buffer'. ^ `tab' You could put other things besides text windows inside the tab's area then also, I suppose. An `xdvi' subwindow might be neat... The tabs need to have keyboard accelerators too obviously. I imagine that's either already there or planned.

Is it possible to configure the list of shown buffers, or more to the point set up an alist of buffer(-names) I don't want to see? Eg, I don't need to have the "trace of POP session ..." and things alike at hand all the time. Norbert.

Upcoming Sumo/21.2 schedule 25 years, 4 months

SL Baur

I have drained the incoming patch queue except for about a half dozen InfoDock synch patches. If you have an outstanding patch that hasn't received an ACK or NACK, I don't have it. I plan on making new Sumos tomorrow, along with a total XEmacs Lisp package rebuild of the world. 21.2.19 won't make it this week, but it sounds like several people have patches that need committing, so a few extra days for them won't hurt. Please try to get those patches committed as soon as possible so people can test. I will try to make 21.2.19 on Monday afternoon (JST).

Discrepancy between Installation and configure 25 years, 4 months

SL Baur

Installation sez: Compiling in DLL support. but the configure option is --with-shlib/--without-shlib. These need to match. Which one is the preferred name?

Re: XEmacs - Autoload error - cannot open load file: mule 25 years, 4 months

But the package tools use > (or (eq package 'mule-base) (memq 'mule-base this-requires) > I am not sure why, but there was a good reason for that at the time. O.K. I've made the necessary changes for `distribution' to work. I will start committing changes after I clear out the incoming package patch queue. You will need to check that standards-version is >= 1.1 and then use the value of the distribution field + "-packages" to determine the hierarchy. I.e. `distribution xemacs', use xemacs-packages/, `distribution mule', use mule-packages/, `distribution infodock', use infodock-packages/, `distribution foo' use foo-packages/, etc. If there are any objections to the following statement, please make them now. `standards-version' numbers are floating point numbers of the form X.Y where X is the major version and Y is a single digit minor version. Increments of the minor version indicates small changes or corrections to the format of the package-info.in file. Increments to the major version indicate probably backwards-incompatible changes. I expect to go to version 2.0 when Michael completes his work. -- 雨降って地固まる (Adversity builds character)
