Well, in Emacs it is sufficient to prepend the rssh entry to file-name-handler-alist, but something seems to be different for XEmacs in this respect: EFS gets called even if file-name-handler-alist is nil. But this should be discussed elsewhere. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.

Very well. I believe a machine here is going to be upgraded to Solaris 7 in the near future, however, I am not of the opinion that Motif support is worth fixing if it is broken.

21.2.9: etc/PACKAGES out of date 25 years, 2 months

Gregory Neil Shapiro

xemacs-21.2.9/etc/PACKAGES is out of date. It still claims the following packages need to be loaded before xemacs is built: Sun tooltalk vm vc But none of these packages have lisp/dumped-lisp.el. This problem is probably in the latest 21.0.X beta.

Deleted packages? 25 years, 2 months

Gregory Neil Shapiro

The following packages were removed on the latest update: ediff hm--html-menus jde mailcryptng Without mailcryptng, we are back to an outdated version of mailcrypt. I agree mailcryptng should be dropped but only after mailcrypt is updated to 3.5.1, the currently released version.

21.2.9: package adding broken 25 years, 2 months

Gregory Neil Shapiro

/usr/local/src/xemacs/packages/src/xemacs-base-1.29-pkg.tar.gz ends up installing the package in that ../packages/src/ directory instead of ../xemacs-21.2.9/packages/ making the installed package unreachable. I believe ../packages/src/ was the current working directory when the package-admin-add-binary-package was executed but the command should have used a package hierarchy. The same thing happens when trying to use the package-ui. I had to install all of the packages by hand using tar.

To get the same effects as 20.4[1] do something like: (when (featurep 'tooltalk) (load "tooltalk-macros") (load "tooltalk-util") (load "tooltalk-init")) (when (featurep 'sparcworks) (load "sunpro-init") (load "ring") (load "comint") (load "annotations")) in .emacs. To get exactly the same effect as in 20.4, where these packages are dumped with the binary, add them to site-packages as documented in site-load.el. Footnotes: [1] Except for cc-mode which has been severely fucked up since 20.4 and should no longer be dumped with XEmacs.

XEmacs/Mule blows chunks on cut & paste from DECterm 25 years, 2 months

SL Baur

Is anyone else testing XEmacs on DEC OSF? I'm getting a `reliable' crash by building with Mule, and cutting and pasting a page of text (the top page of XEmacs 21.2 CHANGES-beta) from a DECterm into the editor. XEmacs thinks it is getting a composed character, but we don't support that feature yet. #0 0x12011fb48 in decode_coding_iso2022 (decoding=0x1408e5400, src=0x1408c3e81 "es from J.
