XEmacs 21.4.23 Released 9 years, 9 months

Vin Shelton

I have tagged and uploaded XEmacs 21.4.23, "Moral Majority", to the XEmacs ftp site. The tarball can be found here: http://ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs-21.4/xemacs-21.4.23.tar.gz . In the next several days I will post a more formal announcement and update the website. It has been six years (!!) since my last release (and that was off of CVS(!), I believe), so I'm certain to have gotten something wrong. Please let me know what problems you find. It is my fervent hope that this will be the last 21.4 release of XEmacs and that 21.5 can be declared stable in the very near future. - Vin _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Issue with psvn and vc-xemacs: temporary-file-directory 9 years, 9 months

Marcus Harnisch

Hi all With psvn dated: (defconst svn-psvn-revision "2012-03-26, 21:23:49" "The revision date of psvn.") I am getting an error when creating temporary files. The reason is this piece of code. (defvar svn-status-temp-dir (expand-file-name (or (when (boundp 'temporary-file-directory) temporary-file-directory) ;emacs ;; XEmacs 21.4.17 can return "/tmp/kalle" from (temp-directory). ;; `file-name-as-directory' adds a slash so we can append a file name. (when (fboundp 'temp-directory) (file-name-as-directory (temp-directory))) "/tmp/")) "The directory that is used to store temporary files for psvn.") Psvn somehow expects the Emacs variable value to always end with a slash, while extra steps are taken to ensure that the value returned by XEmacs also ends with a slash. Trouble is that vc-xemacs defines a compatibility function #'temporary-file-directory, that simply returns the value of #'temp-directory (which doesn't end with a slash on this system anyway): (unless (boundp 'temporary-file-directory) (defvar temporary-file-directory (temp-directory))) Since the Emacs documentation doesn't say anything about temporary-file-directory always ending with a slash, it'd make sense to change psvn if only for reasons of robustness. However, if there is a risk that other packages depend on temporary-file-directory we may want to consider changing the compatibility wrapper in vc-xemacs. Opinions?

No Space on Device 9 years, 9 months

Vin Shelton

Stephen et al, We are out of space on ftp.xemacs.org. I tried to move most ot the 21.4 tarballs to Attic, but I ran into problems with the "withdrawn" subdirectory as you own those files. As far as I am concerned, the "withdrawn" subdirectory can be completely deleted. How many old versions do we want to keep? I'm OK with axing most of the contents of the stuff older than 21.4, just preserving a few milestone releases, like 19.16, etc. Please let me know what you think I should delete and I'll have a go at it. - Vin _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Rev c03dd89e0055 breaks gnuserv 9 years, 9 months

Michael Sperber

Hi Jerry, for a while now, gnuserv has been broken: gnuclient would exit immediately rather than waiting for the user to press C-x #. Backing out this one fixes it: changeset: 5836:c03dd89e0055 user: Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org> date: Mon Dec 08 16:27:09 2014 -0700 summary: Fix gnuserv file descriptor leak. Any preference on how to address this? -- Regards, Mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

After thinking about this for awhile, it dawned on me that the problem is not with setsid() per se, but rather with the sequence of events _following_ the setsid() call. That is, setsid() causes some of the ensuing ioctl() (or similar) calls that set up the pty to fail. I think I have verified this behavior - I restored the old sysdep.c module and moved the disconnect_controlling_terminal() call [which calls setsid()] from right after the fork() to just before the exec() call and M-x shell works on Cygwin as it always has on linux. I will endeavor to create a STC for Cygwin that includes all the code involved in setting up the terminal so we can experiment with moving the setsid() call between the beginning and the end of the function. - Vin _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
