patch to pcl-cvs-2.9.7 to avoid needing easy-mmode on XEmacs 25 years, 1 month

Charles G Waldman

I would like to sync the version of the pcl-cvs package bundled with XEmacs with Stefan Monnier's latest 2.9.7 version. One minor obstacle is that the newer versions of pcl-cvs.el use the function `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' to define the cvs-minor-mode. Now, this function does not exist in XEmacs. The Pcl-CVS FAQ suggests using the version of "easy-mmode.el" which comes with Emacs, but there are several reasons why the XEmacs maintainers would prefer not having to drag this file into the XEmacs "pcl-cvs" package. Attached is a patch which uses the XEmacs `add-minor-mode' function to set up the minor mode when in Emacs, and uses `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' otherwise. Pending some feedback on this patch, I will make pcl-2.9.7 into an XEmacs package, compatible with the new XEmacs package system. pcl-cvs-2.9.7 can be gotten from ftp://rum.cs.yale.edu/pub/monnier/pcl-cvs you also need to get the "diff-mode.el" which has been split out from pcl-cvs. I would like any feedback from anybody who tries using this package with XEmacs version 21. --- pcl-cvs-2.9.7/pcl-cvs.el 1999/09/30 14:39:07 1.1 +++ pcl-cvs-2.9.7/pcl-cvs.el 1999/09/30 16:35:59 ＠＠ -275,15 +275,38 ＠＠ ;;;; -(easy-mmode-define-minor-mode - cvs-minor-mode - " +;;; XEmacs change +(if (null (boundp 'running-xemacs)) + (defvar running-xemacs (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version))) + +(if running-xemacs + (progn + (defvar cvs-minor-mode nil + "Non-nil when cvs mode is active.") + (defun cvs-minor-mode (arg) + "Toggle cvs-minor-mode. +With ARG, turn cvs-minor-mode on if arg is positive, off otherwise.

Huh? The code seemed to survive pretty well. [Putting brain in Gear] AHA! This was done with 21.1 and there symbols.c has case SYMVAL_UNBOUND_MARKER: break; This is commented out in 21.2. Presumably this was part of Martin's mega patch.. Maybe he can explain why he removed it. Jan

If I force an ordinary dumped XEmacs into the same code path (by using a debugger to force it into the Fmake_device branch of init_console_stream, then everything seems to work OK. It is simply setting the value of the 'device' symbol with that variable previous value being a symbol_forward of type SYMVAL_UNBOUND_MARKER. Are you sure you are dumping variables like that correctly?

Here is the new version taking into account Jan's tests[1]. I think I'm going to apply it soon since it shouldn't change a thing when you configure without --pdump. OG. [1] Thank you thank you thank you :-)

Re: XEmacs' desktop icon greyed out in 21.2 25 years, 2 months

ALTMARK＠de.ibm.com

I have to admit that I didn't know that ... :-o As GXT255P is withdrawn from support, the next machines we'll get will have the GXT2000 installed. I'll try to get hold of such a box and see if the problem persists (also hoping that the new adapter has the same "missing feature" ;-) ). Meanwhile I'll try to build 21.2-b19 totatlly from scratch, maybe something went wrong when applying patches. The last tarballs I downloaded were b15. --- Markus Alt IBM Laboratory Boeblingen, Germany Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu on 09/29/99 05:32:15 PM Please respond to Valdis.Kletnieks(a)vt.edu To: Markus Alt/Germany/IBM＠IBMDE cc: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Re: XEmacs' desktop icon greyed out in 21.2 On Wed, 29 Sep 1999 16:34:38 +0200, ALTMARK(a)de.ibm.com said: > I'm sitting on a 7043 Model 43P-150 with a GXT255P graphics adapter installed. > As this card has 24-bit true color depth and allows to display 16.7 million > colors *simultaneously*, I can't imagine this should be a problem.

You *did* know that the GXT255P is known to be brain-dead with colormap management, didn't you? ;) Even if you fix your XServers file to start it with a 24-bit TrueColor visual as the default, some applications Lose Big Time on it. I believe if you poke around the support center databases, there's a Q&A you can find if you search for 'colormap', 'GXT255P' and 'netscape'. I know for a fact that Tk/Tcl (and particularly 'exmh') tickles the bug too, but I've never received a totally clear explanation of what the card/driver does wrong. /Valdis (who hopes like hell the GXT2000 isn't similarly borked) ;)
