Be careful when patching external packages
24 years

As usual, people should be careful, when patching externally
maintained packages, to inform the package maintainer of the change. For
instance, I only noticed this by miracle:
,----
| didier(pts/1)% more os/os-utils/ChangeLog
| 2000-10-05 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org>
|
| * *: Mega typo fix.
`-----
and some of these useful (not usefull ;-) checks would have been lost
at the time of my next update to mchat.
Thanks for the fixes, Martin.

What's up with the CVS sever?
24 years
Michael Kifer
Michael Kifer
When I cvs update in the xemacs-packages/mule directory
(at cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot) I get after a while:
cvs server: Updating skk/etc
cvs [server aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 2808685 bytes
or
U mule/skk/etc/ReadMe.English
cvs [server aborted]: can not reallocate 4194304 bytes
or
Terminated with signal 11.
It's been like this for the last 3 days (day and night).
Is there a remedy for this?
thanks

generic-printer-buffer calls lpr-region with incorrect argument
24 years
Greg Onufer
Greg Onufer
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In XEmacs 21.2 (beta36) "Notus" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, Mule) of Thu Oct 12 2000 on ebola
configured using `configure --prefix=/pkg/gnu --dynamic --with-gcc '--cflags=-O3 -mv8 -mtune=ultrasparc' --with-x --with-xpm --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include '--site-includes=/usr/dt/include /pkg/X11/include /pkg/local/include /pkg/local/include/db' --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib '--site-libraries=/usr/dt/lib /pkg/X11/lib /pkg/local/lib' --with-sound=native,noesd,nonas --with-database=berkdb,dbm --with-png --with-jpeg --infopath=/pkg/gnu/info:/pkg/local/info:/pkg/tetex/info --with-tooltalk=yes --with-cde=no --package-path=/pkg/gnu/lib/xemacs/packages --with-mule=yes --debug=no --error-checking=none'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Clicking on File->Print "buffer" from the menubar results in a
run-time error about lpr-region being called with the wrong number
of arguments.
lisp/printer.el calls lpr-buffer with "buf" instead of "b e". Either
printer.el is wrong or os-utils/lpr.el from the packages has become
incompatible.

Michael, you have the same problem I had.
Martin came to my rescue by suggesting to set following variable:
`$CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT'
For CVS 1.10 and older, setting this variable prevents CVS from
overwriting the `CVS/Root' file when the `-d' global option is
specified. Later versions of CVS do not rewrite `CVS/Root', so
CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT has no effect.
On Windows NT I set CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT to 1 and it worked fine.
Hope this helps,
Adrian

RE: auto-save-list-file-name

Sounds like a good plan to me... that's sorta the direction
I was trying to go with my code-change proposal, but I think
your solution is cleaner.
I am obviously not the best choice to make the code modifications...
I already revealed my glaring ignorance in that area.

Or...
we could argue that unsetting auto-save-list-file-prefix is a bad way
to disable the list autosaves in the first place. For one, it's
completely non-obvious from the name.
We could introduce a new variable named `inhibit-auto-save-session'
that would do exactly what its named implied. In addition to better
clarity, the advantage would be that the auto-save code could always
recover from a change of that variable in the middle of operation,
because changing it does not destroy any actual information.
For compatibility with the FSF and for sanity, we could also make
setting auto-save-list-file-prefix to nil have the same effect. The
warning would then not be necessary because you're not supposed to do
that anyway.
Yoshiki, Troy, what do you think?

I am still way behind on my XEmacs stuff. Just when I though things
were a bit stabilized I had to rush of to the US to do on site work
at a customer.
I have forwarded it to work, I'll try looking at it from there.

P.S. My summary buffer tells me there is still a lot of patches
unapplied from earlier this year :-(

Hmmh, that site is not up-to-date either.

Hey Johnny!
ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/editors/xemacs/
has indeed no packages directory!
Try
ftp://uiarchive.uiuc.edu/pub/packages/xemacs/packages/
by selecting
uiuc.edu (United States)
from
Options -> Manage Packages -> Add Download Site
postmaster(a)metalab.unc.edu, xemacs-beta:
Should ftp.metalab.unc.edu be taken out of the list of mirrors?
Best regards,
