Bug in coding-system-list 25 years, 4 months

ShengHuo ZHU

Function coding-system-list is supposed to list all coding-systems. But in 21.2.19, it can not list alias names. For example, (memq 'big5 (coding-system-list)) -> (big5 ...) (memq 'cn-big5 (coding-system-list)) -> nil (find-coding-system 'cn-big5) -> #<coding_system big5> This bug only exists in b19 not in previous versions because b19 uses `define-coding-system-alias' instead of `copy-coding-system'. Here is the patch. 1999-07-31 Shenghuo ZHU <zsh(a)cs.rochester.edu> * file-coding.c (add_coding_system_to_list_mapper): Use key instead of value -> name. -- Shenghuo

report-emacs-bug vs submit-bug-report 25 years, 4 months

Gleb Arshinov

Most packages call their bug report function (package-name)-submit-bug-report. It might be nice to rename XEmacs bug-reporting function to something like xemacs-submit-bug-report. Gleb

This variable is causing nothing but problems, and programs will be doing the WRONG THING when they try to set it, even though they think they are being correct. > Note, however, that some packages use setq-default to set it, and > default-value to read its value.

Problems with ftp.xemacs.org & www.xemacs.org? 25 years, 4 months

Adrian Aichner

Package downloads have been painfully slow an hung numerous times today in the timeframe of 16:00-18:00 MET DST. Got as low as 900B - 4KB/s transfer rates. Currently (21:00-22:00 MET DST) http://www.xemacs.org does not respond. http://cvs.xemacs.org is OK. Adrian

These dumps were 21.2.19+, as you said. I'm trying vanilla 21.2.19 now.

Since it is compatibility variable, should not XEmacs provide also compatibility function for setting it ? It is set-buffer-multibyte in Emacs. Note, however, that some packages use setq-default to set it, and default-value to read its value. But I assume this is broken behaviour.

OK. I found the mail where Steven points to ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/testing/ps-print-nomule-1.0-pkg.tar.gz but that file isn't any longer. Where can I get a non-mule ps-print?
