order of ~/.xemacs/init.el and ~/.xemacs/custom.el 23 years, 6 months

Alexey Mahotkin

I retransmit a kind of bug report posted to local newsgroup: Suppose there is a (desktop-read) in init.el, and (custom-set-variables '(user-mail-address "morozov(a)novosoft.ru")), in custom.el. Now if desktop being read contains .html file then html-mode asks again and again: "Your mail address: alex＠localhost" or something like that, because it is not yet customized. Surely one can move (setq user-mail-address "") to init.el, before (desktop-read), but there must be a more generic way to address that issue, what do you think? There probably exists a reason not to simply swap the order of execution of init.el and custom.el... Probably there could appear something like "phase3.el"? --alexm

re: patch for PR1504: scroll crash 23 years, 6 months

Paul Krause

Please ignore the patch posted to xemacs-patches, it is incorrect. I appear to be patch challenged for the time being. The computer with a working CVS and the computer where I can reproduce the bug are incommunicado, and I made a cut-and-paste error attempting to prepare the patch. The version I posted probably won't even compile. I have attached the entire contexts of the file to be patched to this message. If someone with a non-bogus development environment would use to prepare a correct patch I would be grateful. Original patch: To: < xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org <mailto:xemacs-patches＠xemacs.org> > Subject: patch for PR1504: scroll crash From: "Paul Krause" < paulkrause1(a)mediaone.net <mailto:paulkrause1＠mediaone.net> > Date: Sat, 19 May 2001 00:57:55 -0400 Cc: < xmeacs-nt(a)xemacs.org <mailto:xmeacs-nt＠xemacs.org> > Message-ID: < 003601c0e020$67f10d40$6401a8c0＠paulkrause <http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches/200105/msg00116.html> >

[BUG] Too agressive byte code optimizer 23 years, 6 months

Yoshiki Hayashi

When following form is eval'ed, it signals an error: Wrong type argument: number-char-or-marker-p, a (= 'a) However, if it's byte-compiled, it returns t. (disassemble (byte-compile (lambda () (= 'a)))) shows: byte code: args: nil 0 constant t 1 return Martin? -- Yoshiki Hayashi

selection using mouse in xemacs 21.4.3 (gtk) 23 years, 6 months

Arkadiusz Miskiewicz

Hi, I just tried xemacs 21.4.3 version with gtk and mule enabled. In previous version - 21.1.14 + athena there was possibility to copy and paste under X Window using mouse (left to copy; middle to paste). In 21.4.3 + gtk this doesn't work while info page (Using X Selections) still says that's possible. I don't know if this is generic problem with all gtk versions, with all 21.4.x beta series or just my local emacs problem. Any suggestions/patches how to enable/fix such copying in X Window? ps. I'm not subscribed to please cc: me. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, AM2-6BONE [ PLD GNU/Linux IPv6 ] http://www.t17.ds.pwr.wroc.pl/~misiek/ipv6/ [ enabled ]

21.4.2 mwheel.el woes 23 years, 6 months

Isaac Hollander

I decided to use mwheel.el to make my m$ intellimouse work with XEmacs 21.4.2 built on RedHat 7.1. In .xemacs/.init.el: (autoload 'mwheel-install "mwheel" "Enable mouse wheel support.") (mwheel-install) and in .xemacs/custom.el (custom-set-variables '(mwheel-follow-mouse t)) When I abuse the mouse wheel, going quickly up-and-down to the beginning and end of my VM INBOX Summary buffer, XEmacs dies with the following lisp backtrace (unfortunately no coredump): Fatal error (10).

Minor build fixes for 21.4.3 23 years, 6 months

Andy Piper

I didn't deliberately do this just after Stephen released. These are needed for correct compilation under cygwin 1.3.1. Should be applied to 21.5 as well [I'm beginning to love perforce - the way you can do integs across versions easily]. andy 2001-05-17 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * sysfile.h: don't assume that file attributes are boolean 2001-05-17 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * win32.h: * win32.h (NOCOMATTRIBUTE): sync with latest cygwin version.

[BUG] term freezes on XEmacs 21.4.* on *-dec-osf* 23 years, 6 months

Aki Vehtari

When larger text is inserted to term (or matlab-shell) it freezes on XEmacs 21.4.* (ev56|ev6|ev67)-dec-osf(4.0d|4.0f|5.0) On XEmacs 21.1.* term (or matlab-shell) does not freeze like this. How to reproduce the problem: --- xemacs -vanilla M-x term <Copy, e.g., with mouse following text to term and press enter> echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo echo foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo <term executes those echo commands, and after that it beeps, freezes and does not respond to anything (note that XEmacs does not freeze, just the term)> --- Below is example Installation description. Note that same problem appears with and without REGEX_MALLOC. --- uname -a: OSF1 biton.lce.hut.fi V4.0 1229 alpha alpha /proj/ave/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.2/configure '--prefix=/proj/ave/xemacs/' '--srcdir=/proj/ave/xemacs/xemacs-21.4.2' '--site-includes=/usr/local/include' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/lib' '--cppflags=-DREGEX_MALLOC' XEmacs 21.4.2 "Developer-Friendly Unix APIs" configured for `alphaev67-dec-osf4.0f'.

Updated Packages in Pre-Releases - May 18 23 years, 6 months

Steve Youngs

The following packages are now in the 'Pre-Releases' directory: build-1.02-pkg.tar.gz ===================== 2001-05-13 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org> * build.el (build-from-CVS): Name buffer correctly. * build.el (build-tarball-site): Update download sites from XEmacs-21.4.2/etc/FTP. * build.el (build-with-MS): Use version.sh of directory we build in and customize build-report-version-file accordingly (without saving in order to stay out of build-report's way). * build.el (build-with-MS-make-commandline): Removed. calc-1.16-pkg.tar.gz ==================== 2001-05-12 Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg(a)hegbloom.net> * calc.el (calc-quit): Guard against kbuf eq nil 2001-05-11 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> * Makefile: Fix to compile in the absence of an installed package tree. edit-utils-1.60-pkg.tar.gz ========================== 2001-05-11 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> * func-menu.el: typo fix. * recent-files.el: autoload the init function. efs-1.25-pkg.tar.gz =================== 2001-05-17 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> * RELEASE: 1.20pre1 2001-05-17 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> * efs.el (efs-skip-msgs-alist): Create, generalizing `efs-skip-msgs'. This hopefully will cure the gratuitous "EPSV not understood" messages spewed out by some ftp clients. (efs-skip-cmd-msg-p): Create. (efs-cmd-ok-cmds-msgs-alist): Create, generalizing `efs-cmd-ok-cmds' and `efs-cmd-ok-msgs'. (efs-process-handle-line): Use above. (efs-send-cmd): Handle null directory to avoid arg count mismatch. (efs-good-msgs): Shorten "hash mark" regexp. (efs-hash-mark-msgs): Shorten "hash mark" regexp. 2001-05-06 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> * efs.el (efs-write-region): Restore `buffer-modified-p' on all conditions. 2001-01-17 Edwin Steiner <edwinstein(a)hotmail.com> * efs.el (efs-quote-local-paths): Adds a customization variable `efs-quote-local-paths'. If it is non-nil, local path names in FTP commands are quoted (\ becomes \\ ...) by the new function `efs-quote-local-path.' This is to support a ported version of a unix FTP client under Win98 which expects local path names to be quoted. 2000-10-15 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org> * *: spelling fixes. 2000-10-15 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> * efs.el (efs-ls): CWD to nondirectory part of `file' instead in an attempt to prevent spurious CWD's to non-directories. 2000-10-15 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka(a)jpl.org> * efs.el (efs-ls): Preserve `temp' and `nlist' across continuation. 2000-07-16 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> * efs.el (efs-ls): Proper `noerror' handling for CWD. 2000-07-12 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> * efs.el: * efs.el (efs-null-device): New. * efs.el (efs-tmp-name-template): Fix up problems with Cygwin FTP client and Windows native XEmacs. * efs.el (efs-expand-tilde): Use efs-null-device. * efs.el (efs-guess-host-type): ditto. mailcrypt-2.08-pkg.tar.gz ========================= 2001-05-06 Brian Warner <warner(a)lothar.com> * mc-gpg.el (mc-gpg-lookup-key): Change key-regexp to tolerate extra fields at the end of lines emitted by --with-colons mode. Needed to handle new output format in gnupg-1.0.5, otherwise you get "No GPG secret key for xxx" errors. xemacs-base-1.54-pkg.tar.gz =========================== 2001-05-13 Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org> * compile.el (compilation-setup): Add `compile-mouse-maybe-goto-error' to global value of `mouse-track-click-hook' to fix mouse-track-insert between buffers. 2001-05-11 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> * compile.el (compilation-find-file): warning fix. * sort.el: * sort.el (sort-regexp-history): New. * sort.el (sort-regexp-fields): * sort.el (sort-regexp-fields-numerically): * sort.el (sort-columns-subprocess): snarf the region before asking questions. xemacs-devel-1.35-pkg.tar.gz ============================ 2001-05-16 Didier Verna <didier(a)xemacs.org> * Patcher 2.4 is released.
