CVS snapshots should start in a few hours

The CVS snapshot tarballs should start appearing on the FTP site in a
couple of hours. (4:15am ftp.xemacs.or time).
Actually, they might not. Because I did a test run before I set up
the cron entry. So you may have to wait until tomorrow or until
something gets changed in CVS.
I put a fair amount of time and effort into error checking, so if
anything at all goes wrong two things will happen:
1) I'll get sent an email with an appropriate error message.
So I'll know very quickly that something is wrong and I
can fix it.
2) The script will disable itself so it doesn't keep doing
the wrong thing.

Well the patch is more or less a rip from menubar-items.el from the
core, wrapped in a (featurep 'xemacs) so it shouldn't be a problem
moving this to a file of it's own.
Following the convention in some other packages I think it should be
mail-lib/browse-url-xemacs.el
Steve it's your call.

customize does not work
23 years, 2 months
Latchezar M. Dimitrov
Latchezar M. Dimitrov
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I have had this problem for a while and would like to ask your help.
Customize does not work - whenever I try customizing whatever I always
get this 'broken button'. For now I use 21.1.14 to make my
customizations.
Thanks
Latchezar

Re: vc-hooks.el patch to handle "Results of merge+"
23 years, 2 months
Albert Ting

I just did a CVS merge and couldn't see any vc problems. Seems like it's
handling it correctly as there is a final condition clause that correctly
handles merged file. So could you better explain why this patch is needed?
Thanks,
Albert

XEmacs coredump with illegal instruction
23 years, 2 months
Kaarthik Sivakumar
Kaarthik Sivakumar
This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
XEmacs 21.1.10 dumped core while reading a webpage using w3
(incidentally the xemacs-beta mailing list archive). First my machine
came to a virtual halt and running 'top' showed my machine working 50%
under interrupt context. After about a couple of minutes in that
state, xemacs crashed and dumped core. I ran gdb on the core and the
executable (I have the source code also) and the backtrace shows a
stack 4480 functions deep. I realize xemacs is a complex piece of
software but function calls 4480 deep is a bit too complex and it
looks more like infinite recursive function calls. I have a script
file that captured the gdb session with all the 4480 (and more, but I
quit after some time) functions on the stack. The reason for the crash
is signal 4, Illegal instruction. I have attached the script file. Is
there anything else that I can do to help? Maybe upgrade?

Question about how to specify coding system chains: encoding or decoding persepctive?
23 years, 2 months
Ben Wing
Ben Wing
Now that I've created chains of coding systems and gotten them to work, the
issue comes up: when specifying the chain, does it make more sense to take a
decoding or encoding perspective?
e.g. imagine i have data in base64 wrapping of gzip of euc-jp of CRLF text
[coding system convert-eol-crlf, which assumes the EOL processing has been
extracted into a separate coding system, which i'm in the process of doing].
once you specify a coding system chain to do this transformation, you can use it
both ways: decoding to get the actual text, encoding to get some base64 stuff
[or vice versa if you reversed the order of the chain]. as you can see,
everything is symmetrical and reversible, and it's easy to get mixed up unless
there's a clear standard, which hopefully is the most intuitive.
so, what do people think: given that we for the moment are talking about
processes where the result of *decoding* is just the text, should we consider as
basic the steps required to decode:
base64 | gunzip | euc-jp | convert-eol-crlf,
or the steps required to encode:
convert-eol-crlf | euc-jp | gzip | base64
Note that I changed the name of the gzip process between gzip and gunzip so as
not to bias things. In some ways decode makes sense because that's what the
end-user is more likely to be doing, and they may get confused having to specify
encode-centric steps. [encoding will typically just used what's been decoded.]
In some ways encode makes sense because it makes more sense to attach data to a
file describing how it was created, rather than how to decode it. [and indeed
this is how the world works -- utilities are generically called "tar" and
"gzip", implying encoding.]
this also affects the naming. e.g. i have a coding system that converts between
unicode and multibyte; when decoding multibyte, the steps are [multibyte-data] |
multibyte-to-unicode | unicode | convert-eol-crlf, and you get raw text. when
encoding, the steps are reversed. do i call this coding system
`multibyte-to-unicode' [emphasizing what it does when decoding] or
`unicode-to-multibyte' [emphasizing what it does when encoding]? as usual,
names tend to emphasize their encoding process, so i called it
unicode-to-multibyte; but that gets very confusing if you're specifying a
decoding chain, since the operation will be multibyte-to-unicode but you'll
still have to give the opposite name.
sorry if this seems very confusing. the basic point is:
for naming, we need to settle on one of {encoding, decoding} as the "basic"
operation, and the other as the "undoing" operation. all naming, all chains,
etc. have to take the point of view of the "basic" operation, and when doing the
other operation, you need to consciously say to yourself, "i'm doing a reverse
operation" and choose or specify the "forward" operation, knowing it will go
backward.
which of {encoding,decoding} is the "basic", "forward" operation?

CVS Access
23 years, 2 months

David A. Cobb
OK, I know I had it working before!
I moved some things, requiring a fresh checkout. Now I get:
<blockquote>
Superbiskit ::/usr/local/src/xemacs/r21-5-latest-beta
: Bash $ cat ./CVS-Login
#! /bin/bash
CVSROOT=":pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSRoot"
export CVSROOT
echo " XEmacs Password = 'zawinski'" # remind me
cvs login
: Bash $ . ./CVS-Login
XEmacs Password = 'zawinski'
(Logging in to xemacs(a)cvs.xemacs.org)
CVS password: zawinski
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.xemacs.org rejected access
to /usr/CVSRoot for user xemacs
</blockquote>
Would someone with their head screwed on tight *please* look at the
CVSROOT & password and tell my what I messed up?
TIA
