XEmacs info.el and PGnus info files 25 years, 1 month

Didier Verna

There's a problem: - our info.el assumes that all info files have a .info extention (modulo gzip compression and stuff). - PGnus calls its info files gnus-[0-9]+ As a result, these files can never be seen in the Info buffer. I discovered that because the PGnus info files are currently the only ones I have in my site-packages directory, and this directory suddenly disapeared from my Info buffer. Personaly, I think that our info.el tries to be too clever, but I also think that PGnus shouldn't mess around with makeinfo's output file name.

cvs-edit-done calls (ring-insert nil ...) 25 years, 1 month

Adrian Aichner

Using the recently release pcl-cvs 1.46 CVS frontend. I get this *Backtrace* when I try to commit a file: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p nil) ring-insert(nil "make expiration year 4 digits.\n") #<compiled-function nil "...(120)" [1 ?\n cvs-edit-require-final-newline t y-or-n-p format "Buffer %s does not end in newline.

Are there any ChangeLog entries describing the changes? Are there any platforms where we are currently failing? Given the problems we had with the "Linux processor type problem" I am a bit weary of syncing just for syncing sake. Jan

XEmacs packages? 25 years, 1 month

Daniel Pittman

I have a couple of questions about packages for XEmacs, as I would like to submit one in the not too distant future.[1] Simply put, I have two questions. Firstly, is there documentation on how to put together a package for XEmacs? I can go trolling through the existing packages and stuff, but that's more work than reading a document and all. :) Secondly, what requirements are there on the code and stuff to get it accepted? Daniel Footnotes: [1] Modulo, of course, that it actually does get to a stable(ish) release soon. -- A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. -- Thomas Henry Huxley

adding /usr/shlib to X_LIBS 25 years, 1 month

Falk Hueffner

Hi, configure.in contains this line: dnl Avoid version mismatch for shared library libXm.so on osf4 if test "$GCC" = yes -a -d /usr/shlib; then XE_APPEND(-L/usr/shlib, X_LIBS); fi which makes compiling fail on Alpha Linux if you have the Compaq CC installed. I don't when exactly it *is* needed, so perhaps it should be guarded by a check for !linux. Falk
