I certainly don't care if any of it pisses off Stallman, especially so for `GNU Emacs' (since he uses that term himself). I do avoid `FSF Emacs' in public forums. Once again, Emacs is a clearly more generic term and using it to mean `FSF Emacs' obfuscates matters. > [ I personally think we should ignore RMS's sensitivity on the matter > and follow Hrvoje's suggestion. I was just wondering whether anyone > cares about not pissing off RMS. ] Stallman is clearly not interested in any meaningful cooperation with XEmacs. Ignore him, except for the issues that receive public attention (`FSF Emacs', rudeness, etc.) -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Personifiers Unite!

In the 5 or so days of the xemacs-patches' existence, more than 50 patches have been posted.

RE: Announcements ? 27 years

Michael Hill

The first one I saw this week was Steve Baur's 'beta39-pre5 -- Developer's edition' message on the beta list last night, corresponding to the appearance of the first b39 patch in testing. Steve followed this with another message that contained pre6 in its entirety. People have alluded to b39-pre versions all week, but they were obviously getting theirs by CVS. Wondering where all the excitement was, I subscribed to the 'patches' list, only to discover that I hadn't been missing much.

The only thing I could find to 'fix' the problem, was to copy the font in my own lib/X11/fonts directory, and then hack fonts.dir with a new font name which doesn't contain the space any more.

[failure] 21.0 "Russian White-pre7" XEmacs Lucid (beta39) on cygwin32 27 years

Re: XEmacs 20.4: find-function-noselect 27 years

Michael Ernst <mernst(a)cs.washington.edu> writes: > find-function-noselect blindly strips the last four characters from the > filename; but the filename might end only in ".el", or in no > extension. Three points: 1) For a patch to be accepted to the distribution, you need to mail it to <xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>. This should probably be added to FAQ; 2) Compiled function annotations are disabled by default in XEmacs 21.0, so the patch has little relevance on the new release; 3) Your patch is still not the right thing -- the code in question should just use `file-name-sans-extension'. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Union break!

Re: XEmacs 20.4: modeline-format documentation 27 years

Hrvoje Niksic

Michael Ernst <mernst(a)cs.washington.edu> writes: > What does "%N" mean in the modeline? See, for instance, (default-value > 'modeline-buffer-identification). It's the number of TTY frame. Try running `xemacs -nw' and pressing `C-x 5 2'. You'll notice that the second frame is marked as "XEmacs-2", and so on. Not documenting this is my fault -- I considered this method too kludgy to document. `%N' should probably be replaced with a specifier holding console-local values (XEmacs 21 allows the use of specifiers in the modeline). -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Personifiers Unite!
