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 works for Digital India, in a project called SSU. We maintain & enhance commands of alpha/UNIX. I wont use xemacs but I do configure & build xemacs for alpha machines. We have a problem filed by a person on xemacs, who extensively uses emacs/xemacs. It looks like this problem has started from xemacs ver-21.1.7 & onwards. Earlier versions i.e. before 21.1.7(we have here 20.4), this problem is not there. If you need any other info or I am not clear please let me know. Thanks & Regards, Sundar Keshava. (keshava.sundar(a)digital.com) =-=-=-=-=-= I have tested the behaviour on two versions of xemacs(tested on 21.1.14 & 20.4) I did noticed some changes. What happened is: # uname -a OSF1 mach.xko.dec.com X5.1 290 alpha # ls -l /usr/bin/xemacs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 40 Jan 17 12:08 /usr/bin/xemacs -> ../lib/xemacs-21.1.14/bin/xemacs-21.1.14 # pwd /cluster/members/member0/tmp/SK # ls RCS SCCS RCS: test.c,v SCCS: s.test1.c Executed xemacs from the above dir which contains two subdirectories RCS & SCCS. then did 'Tools ->VC ->Load VC' from the menu. again 'Tools->VC->CVS Update Directory' it opens one small window with all the dir that are present from where xemacs is invoked. then selected RCS dir & pressed <RET> key. It is not showing/picking RCS file from this dir. What should have happened is: 378[sundar(a)flax.xko.dec.com] uname -a OSF1 flax.xko.dec.com V5.0 910 alpha 378[sundar(a)flax.xko.dec.com] ls -l /usr/bin/xemacs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 34 Aug 10 1999 /usr/bin/xemacs＠ -> ../lib/xemacs-20.4/bin/xemacs-20.4* 378[sundar(a)flax.xko.dec.com] pwd /tmp 378[sundar(a)flax.xko.dec.com] ls RCS SCCS RCS: test.c,v SCCS: VC-names s.test1.c Could able to do 'Tools->VC->CVS Update Directory' straight away without doing 'Tools ->VC ->Load VC' it opens one small window with all the dir that are present from where xemacs is invoked. then selected RCS dir & pressed <RET> key.
