XEmacs.rules isn't pulled into the toplevel Makefile or the first level Makefiles. There is a path problem as XEmacs.rules assumes it will only be included two directory levels down from the top. Yes, I agree that it should be possible to have a non-CVSed local file provide those defaults. > I've made a few modifications to `XEmacs.rules' to make it possible > to run in place from a CVS checkout. It is only an accident that this works. Count on it being broken by future updates to the installed packaging structure. -- 金がものを言う (Money talks)

Re: The plague is back: "Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame" strikes again 25 years, 4 months

I am sure it is a bug, though I don't understand why Hrvoje is seeing a situation reversed from what I see.

The situation I was referring to shouldn't involve this variable. I use virtual window managers and having a frame visible in an undisplayed workspace shouldn't trigger this message. In any event, I do not personally diddle with the value of `allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame' and the XEmacs behavior is different between CDE and WindowMaker. `allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame' is a built-in boolean variable.

Jan, I'll provide > any data you might need to fix this. This is weird. When I run WindowMaker I *don't* experience this problem and when I'm in CDE I do. I am using both WindowMaker (run straight out of XDM on TurboLinux) and 0.60.0 running in the OpenWindows environment (selected via OW_WINDOW_MANAGER in .dtprofile) on Solaris. It is very easy to reproduce in CDE. Start XEmacs, create a second frame by any means, move it to another workspace via the WM frame menu, switch to the other workspace by clicking on the ugly box at the bottom of the screen and attempt to delete the XEmacs frame with `C-x 5 0'. -- 落花枝に帰らず破鏡再び照らさず (Don't cry over spilled milk)

The plague is back: "Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame" strikes again 25 years, 4 months

Hrvoje Niksic

I've just hit an old bug that I often saw reported but never experienced myself. I always start Gnus using the toolbar "news" button, which opens up a nice Gnus frame and removes it when you press `q' in Gnus Group buffer. Yesterday I switched to WindowMaker and configured it to automatically place the Gnus frame to a different workspace (I used to do this manually). Since then, `q' signals the "Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame". The same error can be repeated by simply pressing `C-x 5 0' in the frame in another workspace. I remember that Jan did some work with this bug. Jan, I'll provide any data you might need to fix this.

I was incredibly annoyed by `pobj' not working any longer, but I didn't know exactly when it broke nor did I have time to investigate. Thanks for fixing it! (You may wish to make a similar patch for .dbxrc if you are into dbx.)

Problem with Coding System Detection 25 years, 4 months

Alastair Burt

In XEmacs 21.0 "20 minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux, Mule) of Sun Jul 18 1999 on turing configured using `configure --error-checking=none --with-png=yes --with-mule=yes' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I cannot read files in /var/spool/mail. The reason is that find-file-coding-system-for-read-from-filename is picking up the function convert-mbox-coding-system from file-coding-system-alist and then calling it with the wrong arguments: ;; codesys set to convert-mbox-coding-system (funcall codesys 'insert-file-contents filename) -versus- (defun convert-mbox-coding-system (filename visit start end) -- Alastair

Putting it all together 25 years, 4 months

This patch fixes a few errors in my gutter and widget support and combine everything to provide tabbed buffers on devices that support tabbed widgets (i.e. only mswindows currently). I will apply this to cvs once I have fixed the specifier caching bug that is currently eluding me. andy 1999-07-18 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * glyphs-msw.c (console_type_create_glyphs_mswindows): add resize_subwindow. (mswindows_resize_subwindow): new function. * menubar-items.el (default-menubar): add gutter options. * gutter.c (redraw_exposed_gutter): only reset the current_display_lines if non-zero. (Fgutter_pixel_height): new function. (Fgutter_pixel_width): new function. * gutter-items.el: new file. (gutter): new group for custom. (gutter-visible-p): new variable. (default-gutter-position): ditto. (buffers-tab): new group for the buffers tab. (gutter-buffers-tab): widget to put in the gutter. (buffers-tab-max-size): max number of tabs. (buffers-tab-switch-to-buffer-function): function to call when a tab is pressed. (buffers-tab-omit-function): filter buffers with this function. (buffers-tab-format-buffer-line-function): format buffer names for inclusion in tabs. (buffers-tab-switch-to-buffer): like switch-to-buffer but without the record.

This one says: > > (package-provide 'lookup :version 1.01 :type 'regular) The lookup package is a mule package. It needs to go into mule-packages. However it mistakingly does not depend on mule-base and thus the package tools get it wrong. Steve, could you make a new package-index with this corrected? How did you upgrade? Is it OK in the Sumo's? Jan
