New version of ispell packages breaks with aspell :/ 25 years, 1 month

Daniel Pittman

[NOTE: This has gone to the ASpell author as well as the XEmacs beta list] Hi. The new ispell package released recently causes aspell[1] to die. This is because aspell does not grok the `-vv' switch passed from `check-ispell-version'. This option under ispell will spit out both the version header and a whole bunch of information about the setup of ispell. The trivial fix for me, locally, was to make this a single `-v' -- I only use aspell and it does not spit out the `LIBDIR' information anyway. That is clearly not the right thing(tm) for most people though. I suspect that adding support for this option to aspell is correct, but maybe XEmacs could try and be more tolerant of these errors? Daniel Footnotes: [1] A replacement for ispell with better guesswork for words, etc. -- Get weird. Get way weird. Get dangerously weird. Get sophisticatedly, thoroughly weird and don't do it halfway, put every ounce of horsepower you have behind it. -- Bruce Sterling

Tabs fix 25 years, 1 month

Andy Piper

This should fix the tab redisplay problem Steve is seeing. Ed, this change seems consistent with other places in the Tab code so I assume it is not an XEmacs specific bug. I will apply this. A font fix is in the works. andy 1999-12-13 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org> * xlwtabs.c (TabsResize): We need to expose the tabs after clearing the window they are in. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd

process-send-string (send via smtp) broken in 21.2.22, 23 and 24 under NT 25 years, 1 month

Dmitry Yaitskov

Hi, About a week or so ago I posted a message about a problem I had with sending base64 encoded files containing more than 100-150 lines of text via smtp. I didn't get much response although the problem is very real and IMHO very serious (in my case it forces me to use 21.2.20). Hence I'm reporting it again, hoping for a reply from people maintaining that code. The problem appeared between 21.2.20 and 21.2.22 (I never tried 21.2.21). It stayed in 21.2.23, and I just checked that it is still present in 21.2.24. The problem is 100% reproducible on my system. I am sending a 115k .zip file as base64-encoded attachment. In 21.2.20 all works perfectly. In 21.2.22 and up, after an initial brief period of activity (which I see by my cable modem's lights) things freeze up. Pressing C-g quits the sending, and using the debug log of smtp session during my tests I saw that process-send-string (which is internal XEmacs function) stops sening lines after about 100-150 lines (the exact number varied from one try to another). It is definitely *not* caused by network problems - I did my tests many times, one after another, and in 100% of cases 21.2.20 succeeded while newer versions failed in exactly the same manner. My connection is a cable modem. OS is NT 4 sp5. Perhaps relevant is the fact that I have a *dual* PII 450mhz system (the bug feels like it could be caused by a race condition). It could even be an os bug, but the fact that both XEmacs 21.2.20 and MS Outlook Express work while 21.2.22 up fail make me think that that is not the case. Please, people who know/support/develop the relevant XEmacs code - take a look at this problem. If you can't reproduce it on your systems, I'm more than willing to do tests on mine - but the problem *is* real, and just hoping that it will go away is not the best way to handle it. Or perhaps I'm missing something obvious - enlighten me then. Thanks. I'm using native win32 build (by vc++ 6.0). -- Cheers, -Dima.

interactive version of ldap-search 25 years, 1 month

Charles G Waldman

The interactive version of ldap-search seems to perform the search, then send the output to /dev/null. What is the intended interactive use of ldap-search?

>>>>> "Andreas" == Andreas Jaeger <aj(a)suse.de> writes: Andreas> What is _not_ in there (yet) Andreas> - latest ilisp (server unavailable/volunteer need) Just a note: I tried the latest version. I couldn't get it to do anything useful. There was some error about processes or something, and the inferior lisp never got started. I didn't want to spend anymore time on it so I reverted back the existing version. Perhaps others have had better luck than I, Ray

New Release of XEmacs-Packages 25 years, 1 month

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
