Paul> Exception: Paul> comments starting in column 0 are not moved. Yes, that, and also the following paragraph. Some major modes have special rules for indenting certain kinds of comments in certain contexts. For example, in Lisp code, comments which start with two semicolons are indented as if they were lines of code, instead of at the comment column. Comments which start with three semicolons are supposed to start at the left margin. Emacs understands these conventions by indenting a double-semicolon comment using TAB and by not changing the indentation of a triple-semicolon comment at all. You have a valid point, though. single-; comments srarting in column 0 should not be moved and comment-region would work as advertised! You opened my eyes! To All: Isn't this what we should do?

pcl-cvs buglet 23 years, 3 months

Neal D. Becker

I marked a bunch of files in pcl-cvs mode. Then I chose "undo changes" from the menu. It prompts "Delete 8 files?". Rather misleading.

Help test EFS 23 years, 9 months

Michael Sperber

Steve Youngs has just released EFS package version 1.25. This is an experimental prerelease of EFS available as /ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/efs-1.25-pkg.tar.gz In order to turn this into an official package release, I urgently need your help in testing it. I've tested EFS on a number of servers, but I only have access to Unix machines for client testing. So I especially need some reports from Windows users, connecting to both Unix and Windows ftp servers. This … [View More]

Re: [PATCH] fix compile errors, C-g problems, etc. 23 years, 10 months

Paul Stodghill

> NOTE: This patch has been committed. I've checked out the changes and recompiled. (while t) - C-g works - C-Sh-g works (let ((inhibit-quit t)) (while t)) - C-g doesn't works - C-Sh-g works as expected. Excellent! Two additional things: First, I've started noticing the dreaded "random lockups" since the change to set BROKEN_SIGIO. I will let you know if I continue to observe them with the most recent set of changes. Second, I had to make a few changes to get event-msw.c to compile … [View More]

Packqage Problem with 21.4.3 23 years, 10 months

Jake Colman

I 've been installing my own (that is, not root) versions of XEmacs for quite some time. I configure with --prefix=$HOME and install it for personal use withput a hitch. I've just upgraded from 21.1.12 to 21.4.3 and have a problem with package updates. With 21.1.12, if I updated the packages list and/or packages, the update would be applied to the XEmacs distribution as whole, i.e., $PREFIX/lib/xemacs. When I do the same think with 21.4.3, it wants to apply the update to $~/.xemacs. This … [View More]

GTK+ and 21.2 23 years, 10 months

Doug Alcorn

After seeing the "Call for Testers" for 21.2/22.0, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. I'm primarily interested in the GTK+ port. So, I went out and grabbed the latest xemacs from cvs with: $ cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot checkout -d xemacs-21.2 -r release-21-2 xemacs When I run ./configure, I don't see anything about enabling gtk+. Has the gtk+ port been merged in with 21.2 yet? Is it the default toolkit? How do I compile xemacs with GTK+ support? -- (__) Doug … [View More]
