Re: Fully featured pdump installation support 25 years, 1 month

MISSING FEATURE ALERT! However you missed a critical feature of the current location code (one that is so nice I even implemented it for LyX). Consider the common configure --prefix=/opt/gnu/ba/bla/bla/bla/xemacs make install ln -s /opt/gnu/ba/bla/bla/bla/xemacs/bin/xemacs /usr/local/bin/xemacs Therefore your code needs to match the current one which goes like this char * dump_file=NULL; char * inv_path; invpath = compute_invocation_name(); do { /* d_f_b_o_a returns NULL on failure */ dump_file = dump_file_by_oliviers_algorithm(inv_path); if (!dump_file && is_symlink(inv_path)) inv_path = symlink_value(invpath); else inv_path = NULL } while (!invpath); if (!dump_file) scream; Note that just calling realpath is not sufficient.

Problem with package-get 25 years, 1 month

Petr Konecny

Hi, I use XEmacs 21.2.29 with Mule and I am unable to use package-get to install packages. It fails with: Package %s does not match md5 checksum I checked md5sum of the file with external program (md5sum) and it matches the sum in package-index.LATEST. I think that the following code in package-get.el causes the problem: ;; What ever happened to i-f-c-literally (let (file-name-handler-alist) (insert-file-contents-internal full-package-filename)) it should insert the file into temporary buffer without any changes, but it does change its content and the md5 sum of the buffer is then invalid. I tried to replace this piece with: (insert-file-contents-literally full-package-filename) and it works, i.e. md5 sum is correct and the installtion succeeds. Judging from the comment in the code I guess, that i-f-c-literally was broken for somebody and so he replaced it by this hack. It seems that either i-f-c-literally has been fixed or it does not work with other configurations of XEmacs (without Mule ?) or I missed something. Does anybody know ? Regards, Petr -- You will be called upon to help a friend in trouble.

Re: How to install XEmacs Beta 25 years, 1 month

Jake Colman

Charles, et al, So it seems that I can install 21.2.x with the same --prefix of $HOME since the created subdirectories are version-specific. As long as I don't rely on xemacs symlink, I'd be ok. But as far as packages go, I can only have one copy. Should I be using the beta packages if I want to test the beta or go with the standard packages? If I choose not to install and instead run it out of the soure tree, as Martin suggested, could I then associate the beta packages somehow with the beta xemacs? Thanks for the help thus far! ...Jake >>>>> "CGW" == Charles G Waldman <cgw(a)fnal.gov> writes: CGW> Jake Colman writes: >> >> (this is a repeat of a so-far unaswered question) >> >> How do I locally install the XEmacs beta (21.2.x) if I've also locally >> installed 21.1.x?

Is this about Andy's recent changes to objects-msw.c for 21.1.9? Does either of you fine gentlemen have a patch for this person? I'd like something safe and minimal for 21.1.10. Thanks, vin

ispell.el and tabs bug. 25 years, 1 month
