[See xemacs info, node 3.3, "Startup Paths::How XEmacs finds Directories and Files"] The documentation says that $HOME/.xemacs/xemacs-packages is searched for libraries, but experimentation ('M-x load-library RET <library>' where <library> only exists in $HOME/.xemacs/xemacs-packages) with "xemacs --vanilla" shows that it is not. Which is correct, the docs or the program? Also, where ever the info files mention '<root>/lib/' or '$prefix/lib/' that should (at least) be changed to '<root>/share/' or '$prefix/share', right? --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G.

Thank you Michael. Now the rest of you? There are hungry young minds in Africa, now armed with their OLPCs waiting for a proper editor and a proper project to learn programming from. Dig deep, into your hearts, into your pocket books and give ... give them the gift of a new release of XEmacs. Children are our most precious resource and always remember that a mind is a terrible thing to waste on something like FSF Emacs 22 or vim.

Re: Xemacs backs up mail despite auto-save-default nil 16 years, 4 months

Hi again, chengiz! My analysis indicates that both, function auto-save-mode and variable auto-save-default are overloaded and under-documented. Furthermore sendmail.el in GNU Emacs has different code to handle auto-save-mode more defensively: ;; Only call auto-save-mode if necessary, to avoid changing auto-save file. (if (or (and auto-save-default (not buffer-auto-save-file-name)) (and (not auto-save-default) buffer-auto-save-file-name)) (auto-save-mode auto-save-default)) The XEmacs lisp packages code base shows that different idioms are being used by various authors. As a workaround for now, chengiz, you can try using (setq auto-save-default 0) on a mail-mode hook to turn it off in *mail* buffers, if that is what you want. I'm copying xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org, where better ideas may come from. -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/ _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

So it is unlikely we would change build system then due to the loss of support for all the different platforms? I guess our time then is best used to get autoconf working for Xft.

./configure and package-path 16 years, 4 months

Vladimir G. Ivanovic

Running just ./configure produces an executable that doesn't look for XEmacs packages in $prefix/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages. The package documentation at http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html#Package_hierarchies says that it should. (I haven't tried the equivalent experiment for Mule packages.) Which is the desired behavior? I think that the latter behavior is more intuitive, and so configure should be fixed. Regardless, I need to file a bug, one way or the other. --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G.

issues shown as "no priority set" 16 years, 4 months

Vladimir G. Ivanovic

OK, I don't get it. What criteria puts an issue in the "no priority set" list? Some *do* have a priority set, e.g. #374, but show up in the "no priority set" list when I select "Show Open". Many are missing an entry in the Classification section, but issue #2, for instance, is in the "no priority set" list and has all classifications fields set. Is there rhyme or reason here? --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G.

Could you please ship the color-theme package with XEmacs? 16 years, 4 months

Jason Spiro

Hi, Thank you for all your work on XEmacs - it's the most powerful text editor there is. Could you please ship the color-theme[1] package with XEmacs base, or at least as an XEmacs auxiliary package? It is a fairly popular XEmacs add-on; I know this because it is even in the Gentoo portage system[2]. ^ [1]. http://cvs.gna.org/cvsweb/color-theme/?cvsroot=color-theme ^ [2]. http://www.gentoo-portage.com/app-emacs/color-theme Thanks, Jason Spiro _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
