Ouch! Thanks for reporting this, Vin!
We have a major problem:
The old http://www.xemacs.org site also contains the list-archives.
The new xemacsweb module does not, and should not, contain it.
Therefore, when I made a symlink point to the new xemacsweb module,
access to these list-archives was gone.
As an emergency measure, http://www.xemacs.org is pointing at the old
website again.
More later, as I am at work with my day-job right now ;->
Best regards,
Adrian

Re: Tab display patch

It fixes the overlapping tabs, indeed. However, it still doesn't work
100% as expected IMHO. Here's why:
As said, I have customized the buffer tabs preferences in a way that the
tabs of *all* buffers are displayed. That's how I find this feature most
useful in my daily work, as I can quickly switch e.g. from any file I'm
editing to, say, an always present shell buffer.
Now, if I open a lot of files (i.e. more tabs than fit in the visible
buffer tabs area), it appears to me as if the least recently opened
files' tabs go into a kind of "second buffer tabs list". When switching
back (via C-x b) to a buffer whose tab is currently not visible, I see
this "second list", i.e. the tab of the selected buffer tab and the
other tabs formerly not displayed.
But instead I would expect to see the tab of the selected buffer added
to the currently displayed tabs and the least recently visited buffer's
tab removed from the visible tabs in order to "make room" for the tab of
the selected buffer. In other words: Always display the tabs of the most
recently used buffers.
All this may sound a bit confusing and I don't know if I expressed
correctly what I mean (I'm no native speaker! ;-) ), so here's a short
example: Open four files A, B, C and D, one after the other. Let's
assume that the buffer tabs area is now "full", i.e. there's no more
room for more tabs. Now open another file E. The tabs of B, C, D and E
are visible and A's tab no longer. This is ok. Then do C-x b A. You
would expect to see the tabs of C, D, E and A, but instead you see
*only* A's tab!
I don't know if this is really a bug or if it works as designed. Maybe
just my "weird" customization is causing this. Nevertheless, I think I
should report it.
Markus
P.S.: Sometimes I wonder if you imagined how many problems the gutter
and buffer tabs stuff may cause when you introduced it, Andy. And how
much time it takes to fix these! Therefore, I'd like to state (again)
that IMHO the buffer tabs are a really great and useful feature of
XEmacs. It has really improved my productivity and only when I have to
work in no window mode or with 21.1 sometimes, I realize how much I got
used to the tabs meanwhile! Please keep up the good work!

Re: Cannot install 21.2 from CVS after specifying --datadir

I have now successfully built and installed the latest 21.1 from CVS
after specifying --datadir to configure, so the problem seems to be
21.2-specific. Martin, do you have any comment?

Cannot install 21.2 from CVS after specifying --datadir
24 years
Vin Shelton

I routinely build XEmacs here at work on SunOS-4.1.4 and SunOS-5.5 in
order to make sure no major breakage occurs between releases. I do
not have sufficient time to spend major hours on this, but it provides
a simple sanity check on 21.1 and 21.2 development status.
Last week I decided it would be nice to share the
architecture-independent data directories between the 4.1 and 5.5
builds. I have not been able to get this to work under 21.2 from CVS.
In order to accomplish this, I'm specifying --datadir to configure;
after doing this, 'make beta' and 'make check' work fine, but 'make
install' fails. Here's how:
configure command:
/u/shelton/new/src/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23/configure --prefix=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23 --with-gcc --site-includes=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/include --site-libraries=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/lib --infopath=/u/shelton/new/info --with-mule=no --compiler=gcc '--cflags=-O2 -pipe -ffast-math -fno-exceptions' --with-dialogs=no --with-widgets=no --package-path=/u/shelton/new/site-packages::/u/shelton/new/xemacs-packages --datadir=/u/shelton/new/share --debug=no --error-checking=none
Following is the output of 'make TAGS install'; note the following
anomalies:
(a) "Error: Library file backquote not found"
(b) File error: "Cannot open load file", "custom"
(c) Load file subr: not found

request for testers: updated sendmail.el and smtpmail.el
24 years
Simon Josefsson
Simon Josefsson
Hi, I've made some changes to warn the user about characters being
corrupted when sending mail via /usr/lib/sendmail or via SMTP under
XEmacs with MULE. (Based on suggestions by Stephen Turnbull, Hrvoje
Niksic, Adrian Aichner and possibly others I've forgotten, sorry.)
Since this problem only manifest itself when non-ascii and non-latin-1
characters are used I would not normally see this problem myself, so I
ask for beta testers.
How-to-help:
* Install the patch below and make sure the files are re-compiled,
loaded, and whatnot. (Should I install it in CVS?)
* For SMTP; evaluate
(require 'smtpmail)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-smtp-server (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.server"))
* For /usr/lib/sendmail; evaluate
(require 'sendmail)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail
send-mail-function sendmail-send-it)
Things to test:
* Test it with your mail composer -- M-x mail or M-x message.
M-x mail SHOULD trigger the warning if you enter non-ascii,
non-latin-1 characters (cut'n'paste from C-h h). M-x message SHOULD
NOT trigger the warning (MIME should be used). Are there any other
mail composers using sendmail.el or smtpmail.el?
* Answer "yes" to the question to send mail anyway, verify that the
mail is corrupted (characters replace with `~').
* Does it ever interfer by misstake?
Many thanks!
2000-11-26 Simon Josefsson <sj(a)extundo.com>
* mail-utils.el (mail-y-or-n-p, mail-flatten-list)
(mail-check-safe-charset): New functions, from LMI's message.el.
* smtpmail.el (smtpmail-send-it): Use it; check for bad
characters.
* sendmail.el (sendmail-send-it): Use it; check for bad
characters.
2000-11-18 Simon Josefsson <sj(a)extundo.com>
* smtpmail.el (smtpmail-via-smtp): Use `set-process-coding-system'
instead of `set-buffer-process-coding-system'. Only use it if
`mule' or `file-coding' is provided.
(smtpmail-send-data-1): Call `encode-coding-string' only if `mule'
or `file-coding' is provided.

November sumo release postponed.
24 years
Steve Youngs
Steve Youngs
Hi
I had originally stated that I'd release a new sumo package on or
about November 15th. Well as you can see, that date has come and
gone.
The reason for the delay is that a couple of bugs have been found in a
couple of the packages and I don't want to release until they are
fixed.
As soon as I know more I'll announce the release.

What I meant is that this macro is not called directly anymore when an
xemacs that will read a pdump file is started. I wrote this when I
still thought DEFVAR was actually initialising the C variable, but as
you point out it isn't.

No, I'm sure it is correct. I just don't do that kind of thing in my
own programs and had thus forgotten. Sorry.

Wouldn't it be easier to move the command line parsing for the relvant
variable after the loading of the dump file? This would be more like
the initialisation in a traditional dumped xemacs.

it's more than 2 M of disk space!
24 years
Giacomo Boffi
Giacomo Boffi
seems that the Makefile is _very conservative_ in its promises of disk
space savings --- my results are for linux, but gzip is gzip is gzip,
no?
% make install
[...]
If you would like to save approximately 2M of disk space, do
make gzip-el
or you may run
/home/gb/src/xemacs/lib-src/gzip-el.sh lispdir from the command line.
Where lispdir is where the lisp files were installed, i.e.,
/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.2-b37/lisp
% df . ; make gzip-el > /dev/null ; df .
