Karr, David

Are you saying that after I type "C-cC-c", I should type "exit" and press Return? As soon as I press "C-cC-c", XEmacs is completely hung. I can't type in anything in the shell buffer. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andyp＠bea.com] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 9:53 AM To: Karr, David; xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: RE: Cygwin and subprocess problems in 21.4.1?

RE: Cygwin and subprocess problems in 21.4.1? 23 years, 7 months

Karr, David

When I do that (Cygwin, XEmacs 21.4.0), I don't get to the fourth step. Pressing C-cC-c in the shell hangs XEmacs forever. This did not happen when I was using 21.1.13. I'm not sure why you refer to the "shell being finished". Pressing C-cC-c in the shell is for interrupting subjobs, not to kill the shell, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andyp＠bea.com] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 8:58 AM To: andre(a)slamdunknetworks.com; xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Re: Cygwin and subprocess problems in 21.4.1?

I suspect this is an cygwin bug, but I can't be sure. andy

Cygwin and subprocess problems in 21.4.1? 23 years, 7 months

Andre Srinivasan

In XEmacs 21.4.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of Wed Dec 6 2000 on ANDRE configured using `configure --cflags=-O --site-prefixes=/usr/local --debug=no --error-checking=none' With XEmacs 21.4.1, I'm seeing odd behavior when subprocesses are involved, but only under Cygwin (whatever the most recent netinstall version is). I've seen xemacs crash when executing p4, ispell.el report that ispell.exe wasn't returning version information, and ediff cause xemacs to go into some sort of spin. I've reverted to 21.2.38 and everything works fine. I've also tried to recreate the failures on Solaris but I cannot. Though I seem to get some sort of error when I start ediff. I have the latest lisp sumo tarball so I'm pretty sure it's not that. The fact that I don't see any of these failures under 21.2.38 has me casting a wary eye at 21.4.1. Thanks. -andre.

package system and backwards compatibility 23 years, 7 months

Simon Josefsson

I'm not sure it can be solved immediately, but I'd might as well make an note of it for those who ponder on the packaging system. I just submitted a patch for a new builtin function in XEmacs, partially in order to be able to completely sync a lisp file in a package with Emacs21. Now, should the code in the package assume this new function is available? Should it detect lack of the function, and add a workaround, for it? If packages aren't allowed to use new functionality in XEmacs, the bit-rot of xemacs-packages will only increase and maintainance will be a nightmare. IMHO this must be avoided, packages must be allowed to assume recent features in XEmacs. If packages are allowed to use new functionality in XEmacs, newer packages won't work in older XEmacses. I see one reasonable solution to this: Stuff code for older releases into a library, and make sure this library is updated if any other packages is downloaded. Maybe this is what APEL does? If so, I think the packaging system must make sure that recent APEL version is installed if other packages are upgraded. If the current package system already handle this situation, please point it out because I haven't seen it.

Auto-HREF utility for XEmacs mailing lists 23 years, 7 months
