December 1999 - XEmacs-Beta - XEmacs Mailing List Archives

Andreas Jaeger

I've uploaded now all packages to ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/packages together with new sumo tar balls. For a list of changes, see below. There's no difference between the Sumos and the single packages. I update all versions numbers to make a clean start. Since the last release was in August, this was the easier way for me. This means that some packages have a new version number - but nothing has changed. If you miss any patches, please resend them to xemacs-patches (no need to resend the recent paches in the queue from the last few weeks, those should be handled in due time). I hope there's no brown bag bug in it;-) Thanks, Andreas Here's the NEWS file: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So what has been in that queue (some patches have been in their so long they had cobwebs all over them) Methusalem patch: - After approximately a year the ps-print patch to make it believe in XEmacs > 19 has been applied. Critical Bug fixes: - jka-compr actually works the first time. - jka-compr, calendar and various other packages actually work under XEmacs-latin1 Super FAQ Fix: - pending-del.el was scandalously forked from the maintainer version to actually work with toolbar-paste Massive Changes: - Speedbar and imenu have had major updates.. - W3 has been updated. - RefTeX 4.09 - ispell 3.3 + A lot of other minor upgrades and fixes. What is _not_ in there (yet) - New version of cperl-mode (volunteer needed) - pgml 1.2.x (volunteer needed) - vcursor.el - Gnus 5.8.x (wait for higher .x?/Volunteer needed) - Your favorite package that you always use your own copy from FSF 20.4/20.5/pre-releease for instead of our version (volunteer needed) - AucTex 9.9 (volunteer needed) - latest ilisp (server unavailable/volunteer need) - de roe. - synch of calendar with FSF Emacs 20.5 (Patch is in queue) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Andreas Jaeger SuSE Labs aj(a)suse.de private aj(a)arthur.rhein-neckar.de

This already exists, and is called "string modified tick". So this solution doesn't require any additional work AFAIK.

[configure: feature request] Support configuration like `i386-linux'. 25 years

Karl M. Hegbloom

I would like if I could say `configure i386-linux', rather than `configure i386-debian-linux'. Here's why (one paragraph at top of page): <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch5.html> I cannot easily figure out the correct way to make it do that, or I'd go ahead and submit a patch for it. It seems like it will only take a few minutes for someone who knows exactly what to change or add... TIA Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg(a)inetarena.com>

Re: Crash report involving tabs. 25 years

Andy Piper

Ok, I know why this is - it is trying to resize the tab after the window has been deleted. I thought I had fixed this but evidently not. I'll take a look .... andy At 11:55 PM 12/17/99 -0800, Karl M.

The networked version of the PRCS http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/prcs.html I thought development had died but it turns out it was only the mailing list archive and web site maintenance. In a case of reality's practical irony, the development sources are available from the Gnome CVS server. At least from the specs it is destined to be much better than CVS. Jan
