I have merged our ps-print.el with http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/199912/msg00158.html and am in the process of testing. My view: Ideally we should have one ps-print package with ps-bdf.el ps-mule.el ps-print.el in it. How we make use of ps-bdf.el and ps-mule.el remains to be discussed. My upcoming patch will deliver a merged ps-print.el somewhat more up-to-date than emac-20.7 ps-print, BUT with MULE functionality commented out. Thoughts?

21.2 and trouble with menus 24 years

James N. Potts

I just switched back to 21.2 (from 21.1) after not using it for a while, and noticed the change in the menu structure, ie the movement of the frame and window commands from the File menu to the new View menu. I don't mind this in and of itself (in fact, it makes sense), but it runs into trouble with some modes. For example, if you switch to html-mode, the View menu is replaced by html-mode's View menu. No more "New Frame" or "Split Window" via the mouse. What this really boils down to is poorly behaved packages that assume that there's no standard menu named "foo" and don't bother checking. I don't know that there's an easy solution to this. -Jim Potts

Who is the portable dumper expert? 21.2.37 Portable dumper still broken. 24 years

Troy Noble

I now have a few cycles to look at the portable dumper bug a little more, and figured out that (setq-default ) on an opaque type doesn't work properly after the dumper reloads it into memory. It appears to apply to SYMVAL_BOOLEAN_FORWARD variables (defined as DEFVAR_BOOLEAN) that are buffer local. Don't know yet if it's more pervasive than that. Who's the portable dump expert, and are there plans to fix this anytime soon? If not, I'd like to ask a few questions and see if I can fix it myself... but don't know if the list wants to see all that traffic, so could correspond with them offline if need be. It may be as simple as making sure the opaque variables get into the reloc_table so they get handled by the call to pdump_reorganize_hash_table. I'm not sure yet though. dumper.c, Line 1040 is the last time the variable gets "touched" if my debugger watchpoint doesn't lie. /* Put back the opaques */ for (i=0; i<((dump_header *)pdump_start)->nb_opaquedmp; i++) { struct pdump_dumpopaqueinfo di = PDUMP_READ (p, struct pdump_dumpopaqueinfo); > memcpy (di.data, p, di.size); p += di.size; } Thanks, Troy

My location: Munich, Germany! 24 years

Hrvoje Niksic

One thing I haven't announced to xemacs-beta yet: As of some time ago, I live and work in Munich, Germany. If you're a Munich resident or if you're visiting Munich, and you want to meet me, drop me a mail.

RE: Fw: Build failure, 21.2, current cvs, VC5 24 years

Troy Noble

It's not just in CVS. It appears that it also made it from CVS into the xemacs-21.2.37.tar.gz, since I ran into it last night when I downloaded and compiled with MSVC 5.0: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/xemacs-21.2.37.tar.gz So might want to refresh that snapshot as well, or quickly turn out a 21.2.38... not sure which is the preferred approach. Thought you'd like to know though. Troy -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andyp＠bea.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 12:35 PM To: James N.

Problem compiling func-menu.el 24 years

Steve Youngs

Hi Gang, I'm having a problem with byte-compiling func-menu.el. M-x byte-compile-file under normal circumstances works fine, but under xemacs -vanilla I get: ,---- | While compiling toplevel forms: | !! Symbol's function definition is void ((fume-bomb-proof)) `---- Here's the backtrace. -- |---<Regards, Steve Youngs>-----------[GnuPG KeyID: 59E4C4B2]---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor... | | It's a way of life. | |----------------------------------<mailto:youngs＠xemacs.org>---|
