Can't install packages produced on WindowsNT 25 years

Adrian Aichner

Hello All, I don't know what this is yet: I used to be able to build private packages under Windows NT and install them using pui. Just tried that again today and failed. Both 21.1.9 and 21.2-b32 report incorrect md5 checksums. I suspect (insert-file-contents-internal ...) vs. (insert-file-contents ...) being used in package-get.el at this point. The .el files of my packages contain CRLF as they are written on Windows NT. This seems to be exposing the problem. Any ideas, pointers, etc? Best regards, Adrian

In any case, might it be possible to (fear and terror) have the default be the typical default for the platform: Under Win32, they do interact. Under Unix, they do not. Incidentally, under Win32, the action of deleting text does not modify the clipboard content at all. The UI guidelines, I believe, even specify this as a requirement...

New users with "Windows background" (and that's the majority of users now) will certainly (IMHO :) expect the yank/kill operations to interact with clipboard.

I was trying to exit when... 25 years

cannot start beta32 25 years

Colin Rafferty

Well, under certain circumstances. I guessed what the problem was from the error message. I have internalBorderWidth set to 0 in my resources, because I like to have as much desktop space as possible. 21.2beta28 didn't mind this. In fact, I've been using it for years. Now, 21.2beta32 doesn't like this at all. Here is an example of running XEmacs from the shell: sag3 $ echo 'Emacs*internalBorderWidth: 0' | xrdb -merge sag3 $ DISPLAY=malaria:0.0 src/xemacs Error: Widget clip-window has zero width and/or height sag3 $ echo 'Emacs*internalBorderWidth: 2' | xrdb -merge sag3 $ src/xemacs sag3 $ As you can see, a positive internalBorderWidth works just fine, but zero no longer works. Unfortunately, I cannot find this text anywhere in the code, so I am having a very hard time tracking it down. -- Colin

W3 vs. browse-url.el 25 years

Charles G Waldman

Suppose you have some HTML text in a buffer which is not visiting a file, or embedded in another (non-html) file. In this case, the functions "browse-url-of-buffer" and "browse-url-of-region" will generate a temporary file and pass a file url to the browser of choice. In the case that that browser is W3, even if the file is a valid HTML document, the source rather than formatted HTML is shown. This seems to be happening because the temporary filename does not have a .html extension. In Netscape, even without the .hmtl, a formatted document, rather than source, is shown. Apparently Netscape sees the <html> header and decides the document is HTML, regardless of file extension. Kludging browse-url.el to append ".html" to the temporary file name causes formatted HTML to be shown... however this kludge hardly seems like the Right Thing. But, I can't really see in this situation what the Right Thing would be. Should "browse-url" look for a <html> or <HTML> tag in the document and generate a temp file name with .html extension in this case? Is this too crufty? (PS. I noticed this trying to use a package called PyLibLookup; you press a key and the Python Library documentation for the function at point is shown in a web-browser, courtesy of browse-url. A subprocess generates the html into a temporary buffer and calls browse-url-of-buffer. Works great with Netscape, shows HTML source when using W3).

More glyph/gutter/progress fixes 25 years

Andy Piper

This significantly robustifies the progress gauge and friends. I have disabled the quit button for now since processing events for this causes too many problems. I have a better solution in mind. I also cannot reproduce the crash I was having under X. I would be interested if John Turner's crashes still occur (I assume yes since I haven't fixed anything that makes me think they would be gone). I also need to know if Steve's crashes occur with this since the fix I have actually applied to glyphs.c is different to the one I posted a couple of days ago. Ben's claim about hashing was prophetic as it turns out ..... andy 2000-03-24 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * gutter-items.el (add-tab-to-gutter): use copy-sequence. (abort-progress-display): ditto. Don't delete the created extent. (raw-append-progress-display): ditto. (progress-display-dispatch-non-command-events): new function. Encapsulates what we want to do when no command input is required. (progress-display-dispatch-command-events): likewise, but disable for now since it causes too many problems. (append-progress-display): use them. (raw-append-progress-display): ditto. (default-gutter-position-changed-hook): set this rather than default-gutter-position-changed. (default-gutter-position-changed-hook): lambda with zero arguments rather than one. (raw-append-progress-display): trap errors in pending input since allowing them to signal will hose the gauge well and truly. Ideally we would like to delay these until we are more able to cope. (append-progress-display): ditto. 2000-03-24 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * redisplay-output.c (compare_runes): use image_instance_changed to detect changes. Do not depend on glyphs_changed, only depend on dirtiness. (redisplay_output_layout): add debug messages. (compare_runes): ditto. * glyphs.h: declare new functions. (struct Lisp_Image_Instance): remove percent and associated accessors. * gui.h: declare new copying functions. * gui.c (copy_gui_item_tree): new function. (copy_gui_item): new function. (gui_item_id_hash): revert to standard hash. (gui_item_hash): ditto. (gui_item_hash_internal): deleted. (mark_gui_item): mark value. (gui_item_add_keyval_pair): add value. (gui_item_init): ditto. (gui_add_item_keywords_to_plist): ditto. (gui_item_equal): ditto. (syms_of_gui): add Q_value. * glyphs-x.c (x_progress_gauge_update): use pending items and value for setting the state. (x_update_widget): don't set items from pending here. * glyphs-widget.c (update_widget): update items here. (progress_gauge_set_property): use items for storing value. Put new value in pending items. * glyphs-msw.c (mswindows_progress_gauge_update): use pending items for new value. Convert percent -> value. (mswindows_tab_control_update): don't update items here. * glyphs.c (Fupdate_widget_instances): use image_instance_changed. (update_subwindow): ditto. (image_instance_changed): new function. Compare hash values and past and present widget items. (image_instantiate): We more careful about where we instantiate things. (image_instantiate): add error checking. * gutter.c (syms_of_gutter): use -hook. 2000-03-22 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * config.h.in: add ERROR_CHECK_GLYPHS. * configure.in: add error_check_glyphs. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd
