[Bug: 21.5-b29] eol handling for process output on windows
14 years, 1 month
Samuel Bronson

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I've been seeing a lot of ^Ms in the output of various processes
lately. It seems to happen when the process itself starts doing output
in UNIX EOL-style, but then launches subprocesses of its own that use
the DOS style. In particular, I've noticed it with MSYS make (running,
for example, native xemacs to do some autoload generation and/or
byte-compilation) and with some tex-related invocations.
(Inexplicably, sometimes it seems that the tex xemacs actually runs
uses UNIX style, but that has to run initex to generate a format file,
and initex uses the DOS style!??!)
The default process "input" coding system (used for input to emacs
from processes) is undecided, so I'm guessing that what happens is
something like:
1) eol detection code has no data to work with at all, so it says
"okay, I'll figure it out later".
2) some data comes in, with only UNIX-style eols, and the eol
detection code says "aha! unix!", and switches the process output
coding-system to a -unix variant
3) some more data comes in, this time with some DOS eols as well,
but since the eol detection code put us into a -unix coding sytem
already, it doesn't get run anymore, and we're stuck in -unix.
I'm experimenting with the following in my init file:
;; assume process output to use DOS line-end style
(setcar default-process-coding-system 'undecided-dos)
and that seems to work for this stuff, but I'm concerned that this
might run afoul of elisp programs trying to read binary data from
processes. Any thoughts?

lispref structure really confused (was Re: [Bug: xemacs-beta tip] tables of contents at wrong end manual)

Hmm, it looks like there are worse problems, at least in lispref: the
sectioning hierarchy doesn't match the node next/previous/up links
doesn't match the node menu structure. I realize there's no reason
that all three trees need to be identical, but this seems ridiculous:
some nodes are even given in a *different order* in the menu structure
and in the next/previous/up links!
I'd like to straighten this out a bit; any hints as to how to tell
which order/structure(s) to keep?
One other thing I've noticed: usually, when I try "C-h C-f", it says
that whatever I was looking for is missing from the index, but when
the .texi file has a perfectly-good looking ＠defun (or similar) in it.
Am I wrong in thinking that ＠defun is supposed to put the function
described into the function index, or is something just mysteriously
broken?

Hey, I just noticed that there's a copy of texinfo.tex in the man/
directory that identifies itself as:
\def\texinfoversion{1999-09-25.10}
whereas the latest
<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texinfo/doc/texinfo.tex?root=texinfo&v...>
is:
\def\texinfoversion{2010-09-06.17}
Considering that most TeX distributions probably have this file
anyway, I would just suggest removing the file from the repository,
and adding a note to man/README just in case there actually is a TeX
distro without texinfo.tex.
(I was going to suggest adding the latest, but then I noticed that it
was GPLv3...)

GPLv3/L8R - How should the copyright notice look?
14 years, 1 month
The XEmacs Package Smoketest
The XEmacs Package Smoketest
Hi,
Most direct would be to just update the GPLv2 or later part and the
adress info. Hoverer I had a look in Emacs and it seems like the
copyright notice there has introduced some small but nice change. An
url to where the GPLv3 or later text can be found. So there is no need
for the street address.
So using that notice and changed for XEmacs it could look like
this. Would it be OK to use this or do we need to spell it out some
other way?

Related to this change is that the date of the copyright is normally
not updated on this type of copyright change. Is this correct? (Not
ot mention that this also makes it easier slightly easier to update
the notices since there is one thing less to change.)
Finally. When the notices are updated overall there is no point in
keeping different formatting, justification of the text etc in files
of different types. So I suggest that the copyright notice is written
like this above regardless if there are leading comment
character. Like this for files in elisp.

[Bug: xemacs-beta tip] tables of contents at wrong end manual
14 years, 1 month
Samuel Bronson
Samuel Bronson
Hmm, I've noticed that the print-formatted manuals I'm building have
their tables of contents at the end instead of the beginning. I
realize this might require fewer passes (though it also might not),
but I think in this day and age we can probably handle it?
According to <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Contents.htm...>,
the proper thing to do is put the ＠summarycontents and ＠contents
commands soon after the titlepage... but it's also possible to do it
by passing --texinfo=＠setshortcontentsaftertitlepage or
--texinfo=＠setcontentsaftertitlepage (as appropriate) to the texi2dvi
command.

They're pretty minor, but although binding C-g works in a given
keymap, funny things happen in keymaps that inherit from it. So the
GNU implementation makes it easy to rebind keys that almost nobody
needs to rebind, but then a few corner cases don't work. AFAIK the
XEmacs keymaps work as documented.

OK, well, if we can do something to help with that, let us know!

How do I bind Escape in XEmacs?
14 years, 1 month
Štěpán Němec
Štěpán Němec
Hello,
could please someone explain to me how I can bind the ESC key in XEmacs?
Nothing I tried and expected to work (various combinations of
`{global,local}-set-key', `define-key', [escape], [(escape)], (kbd
"ESC"), (kbd "<escape>") etc.) seems to have any effect. I guess the ESC
key is somehow special-cased by XEmacs at low level; unfortunately I
have no idea what I need to do to rebind it and searching through the
documentation and Internet didn't help either.
(Tested with XEmacs from the Hg repository, but 21.4 seems to behave the
same way.)
Štěpán
