How big a pain is it to set up on xemacs.org? I lost my SSH key that I sent martin a while ago in a machine reorg (didn't have it on the laptop like I thought). I think I've decided to just bite the bullet and pull some serious all-nighters next week and do the native Gtk/Gdk port. It doesn't look like it will be horribly difficult, and there is a lot of Xt cruft lying around in all the *-x.c files, and instead of cluttering them up with ifdefs for Gtk, I'll just suffer some pain. :) This will also make it easier to bring it up to the 21.2 branch and do andy's widget work eventually. -Bill P.

While I agree with that comment (and being a mathematician I have an even stronger tendency to do that) I fail to see what you mean here. I can see that customize is working in some cases (i.e. for an XEmacs hacker like me needing to edit alists of plists) which convinces me that it is worthwhile to try to make it work. However I do not consider the original problem "How to make Emacs easy to configure for newbies" solved at all. In fact now that Per has made the first few steps we can finally begin see clearly where the real problems lie. Jan

Re: proposed Eistring interface 24 years, 7 months

Didier Verna

Cosmetics only. All of this looks nice to me, except for one thing: the "Eistring (name);" syntax to declare a new variable. The need for parentheses in this context looks disturbing. I'd prefer another name to the macro, something like "DECLARE_EISTRING (name);" which looks more like a function call, but still clearly states that this is a declaration. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / EPITA / LRDE mailto:didier＠lrde.epita.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel. +33 (1) 44 08 01 77 94276 Kremlin-Bicêtre cedex Fax. +33 (1) 44 08 01 99

It's only a harmless defsetf, declaring how to handle things like: (setf (window-display-table foo) bar) There's no harm having it in, except for potentially causing confusion. We could comment it out as an FSF-ism.

XEmacs uses the `display-table' specifier which can be generalized to any combination of window, frame, and buffer specification. For instance, instead of this: (set-window-display-table (selected-window) table) one would write: (set-specifier current-display-table table (selected-window))

set-window-display-table 24 years, 7 months

James LewisMoss

This function is used by rot13 (in misc-games) and used as the value in a defsetf in cl-macs, but doesn't seem to be defined anywhere. Are these elisp files just old and broken or is something missing? (This is from a debian bug report.)

Future work on XEmacs 24 years, 7 months

Martin Buchholz

I am quite likely to be moving to Japan over the next couple of months. If this happens, I will probably be doing quite a bit of XEmacs hacking while I'm in Japan. However, during the transition I will likely have less free time for hacking. Martin

What's wrong with the existing API's, as described in Internals->Coding for Mule? In other words, do we really need another string manipulation layer besides Lisp strings and buffers? The current developers seem to find the existing API comfortable. On the other hand, new developers might find a string layer more intimidating than useful.
