Info-directory-list
25 years, 3 months
Hrvoje Niksic
If I understand things correctly, the preferred way to add stuff to
Info directory search path is using `Info-directory-list', e.g.:
(push "~/my-info-dir" Info-directory-list)
or:
(setq Info-directory-list (append '("dir1" "dir2" "dir3") Info-directory-list))
This works in .emacs because Info-directory-list is autoloaded rather
than set in info.el. The documentation says:
The first directory in this list, the "dir" file there will become
the (dir)Top node of the Info documentation …
[View More]tree. If you wish to
modify the info search path, use `M-x customize-variable,
Info-directory-list' to do so.
The last sentence is IMO wrong: if you change the value of the
variable, you will completely override the autoloaded defaults. This
means that if the autoloaded stuff changes, e.g. by installing a new
package, the new values get ignored.
Info-directory-list should not be customizable at all.

Actually, both solutions should be arranged for Per: he should post to
xemacs-patches as it is the policy everybody follows (even reviewers) AND be
able to commit by himself.

You should still Cc the actual patch to <xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>,

After this is approved by the maintainers, that would be Jason

You should mail patches to <xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>. I suppose it

I took it up with Gerd, D.Love and RMS. They agreed my proposal to
1) Using <emacs-custom(a)sunsite.auc.dk>. as a shared Emacs/XEmacs forum
for discussion changes to customize.
I have added Gerd and D.Love to the list, I think all the XEmacs
customize maintainers are already on it, if not, subscribe by sending
a mail to <emacs-custom-subscribe(a)sunsite.auc.dk>.

I wonder if that's what locked up my machine several times in the
last few months. Just the other day, something started paging... I
wasn't really paying any attention, until I happened to glance over
at the Mem and Swap needles on a `gkrellm' I keep running... The
swap meter had climbed until almost pegged, and the next thing I
knew, everything locked up solid. I had to power cycle. XEmacs was
running at the time... the cpu graph was not pegged, it looked fairly
normal. I don't think it was a runaway cron job or anything... it
wasn't time for them to run then.

I get the same behavior from my neXtaw build, including the same …
[View More]abort
in lwlib.
It looks like, for some reason, Xt believes that the widget passed in is
not a subclass of the dialog widget :(
On the plus side it does not look like the Xaw detection changes are at
fault -- this has the same set of defines for lwlib builds that the old
Athena3d code did.

I hope you can forgive me for departing from our usual Greek God
theme, and naming this beta after the moment we've all been waiting for.
Brief summary of changes to 21.2.26 "Millenium"
-- Fix unpredictable results, perhaps even crashes, if using the
`return from debugger feature' and errors in `eval' or `funcall'.
-- fix for Tab widgets causing X errors in XMapWindow().
