GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: etc/xemacs.1 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, Next file is "etc/xemacs.1". According to the AUTHORS section of the file itself Ben Wing wrote the man page. From looking in the ChangeLog the following contributions can be deduced: 2010-01-04 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org> 2004-12-03 Shyamal Prasad <shyamal(a)member.fsf.org> 2000-09-20 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org> 1998-10-02 Andreas Jaeger <aj(a)arthur.rhein-neckar.de> 1998-07-09 SL Baur <steve(a)altair.xemacs.org> 1998-04-11 Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> 1998-01-13 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org> 1997-11-19 SL Baur <steve(a)altair.xemacs.org> So does this mean that Ben Wing did the writing before 1997? Anyone of these authors who is known to object to going GPLv3 or later? Looking at the actual comments in the ChangeLog might suggest that some changes are minor and possibly could be viewed as bug fixes more than contributions. Do you think we should go that deep in the analysis?

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: etc/emacskeys.sco 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, Next in turn is "etc/emacskeys.sco" (and to break the one by one paradigm I also enclose "etc/emacsstrs.sco" in this question.) These two files were discussed in the thread: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2010-February/018772... One of the alternatives was just to delete them which sounds good to me. The logic being: Unclear license, unclear copyright and probably not needed -> remove. These types of files can always be introduced again later and then with good reasons and with a solid copyright and license.

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: Change of strategy!? 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, I've been thinking of changing my strategy a bit. Been waiting for some feedback on the "PROBLEMS" and "etc/Emacs.ad" files. But except for authors agreeing to release under GPLv3 or later, thank you very much for that, there hasn't been much feedback on my suggestion on the change to the files. My new strategy will be to perform those changes on the assumption my idea about the change isn't bad enough that anyone complained ;-). It is in a branch anyway so it is no big deal to change or revert the changes later if there will be feedback. I will thus continue with the "Remaining files one by one"-effort to deal with the last 10!!!! or so files that hasn't been covered yet! Yes we are that close now!

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: PROBLENS 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, The file PROBLENS describes the different problems there has been over time to build XEmacs on different platforms. It also starts by saying it is mostly of historical interest in that XEmacs today does not require bleeding edge features. So I guess this file is not as desperately needed to be part of the distribution then if there would be problems with getting copyright to be correct. Similar to the CHANGES-beta the recent contributions can be found by examining hg log. The full change list goes back further though. At the time of writing it strikes me that the ChangeLog file as well can be used for deducing the authors. Maybe even better and easier!? A pipe grepping through the it gives this list from which creating appropriate copyrights is easy. (Finding all entries that matches the regular expression PROBLEM.*:) Does this list look reasonable? Any one in the list who is known to object to going GPLv3 or later? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010-01-14 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> 2010-01-13 Ben Wing <ben(a)xemacs.org> 2009-11-18 Stephen J.

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: CHANGES-beta 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, Now it is time for yet another text information file. This time is it "CHANGES-beta". The contents is entirely news about the 21.5 version. So I guess there is no FSF text in there to worry about. "hg log" provides a bunch of known contributors but there are many also from when cvs was used. I guess adding copyright from all contributors from hg log is straight forward. Do we need to consider contributions before what hg log provides?

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: etc/Emacs.ad 13 years, 11 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, I'm getting rather fond if the idea of using the ChangeLogs for finding the authors for these files, like "etc/Emacs.ad" that don't have an known license. So here comes the list for etc/Emacs.ad. 2010-01-04 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org> 2003-03-27 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org> 2002-11-11 Stephen J. Turnbull <steve(a)tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp> 2002-09-27 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org> 2002-08-31 Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta(a)xemacs.org> 2000-09-16 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org> 2000-08-02 Stephen J. Turnbull <stephen(a)xemacs.org> 2000-04-15 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> 2000-04-12 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> 1998-03-09 Kyle Jones <kyle_jones(a)wonderworks.com> 1998-03-01 SL Baur <steve(a)altair.xemacs.org> 1997-12-18 Kyle Jones <kyle_jones(a)wonderworks.com> 1997-10-30 Kyle Jones <kyle_jones(a)wonderworks.com> Any problems with using this author data as basis for copyrights and GPLv3 or later as license?

set-fill-prefix and newline 13 years, 11 months

Uwe Brauer

Hello I am sure this is very trivial but I can't find out how to do it: set-fill-column is very handy with auto-fill-mode on, however the line is broken according to set-fill-column. But how can I insert a newline with the fill-prefix? thanks Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
