loadup.el, You LIE! (21.2.42 + a few hours CVS] 23 years, 3 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

Attempting to build this version gave me the following: make[1]: Entering directory `/playpen/src/Builds/XEmacs-21.2/src' ./temacs -nd -batch -l /coda/Projects/XEmacs/21.2-HEAD/src/../lisp/update-elc.el Loading /coda/Projects/XEmacs/21.2-HEAD/src/../lisp/update-elc.el...

(Note, the existence of that file at all is undoubtedly my bad. But XEmacs in the middle of building itself should not be able to find my package hierarchy.) This is the first time I've tried to build 21.2 in that environment, so this is not necessarily a recently introduced bug. This may also be masked (or with luck, fixed) in current CVS by the recent work by Michael Sperber on the find-path stuff. dumped-lisp only had a few of the mule/ prefixes in it, so it may not be updated to his current state. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?

XEmacs 21.2.43 "Terspichore" is released. 23 years, 3 months

Martin Buchholz

Important gnuserv security fix. Upgrade if you use gnuserv. Another reminder that 21.2.41 fixed an important byte-compiler bug in 21.2 (but not 21.1). If you have not already done so, re-byte-compile all your .elc files after upgrading, for example in your CVS source directory cd $srcdir; find . -name '*.elc' -print | xargs rm cd $builddir; make Brief summary of changes to 21.2.43 "Terspichore" -- Important gnuserv security fix.

Re: Some updated packages in Pre-Releases 23 years, 3 months

Gunnar Evermann

Steve Youngs <youngs(a)xemacs.org> writes: > I haven't updated the version numbers because these packages already > have higher versions than the ones in the public area. I think this is potentially dangerous. People who download packages from the experimental/ area (which is easy now since it is in the menu) miss upgrades and are stuck with having an old package which still has the highest version number. I think having multiple versions of the same software with the same version number is a Bad Thing[tm]. Gunnar

XEmacs 21.1.14 "Cuyahoga Valley" is Released 23 years, 3 months

Vin Shelton

XEmacs 21.1.14 ""Cuyahoga Valley" is available from ftp.xemacs.org. Get it from: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.14.tar.gz -or- ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.14.tar.bz2 These are the core distribution without bytecompiled lisp. (You only need one of these two files: the .bz2 file has been compressed with bzip2 and is therefore smaller than the .gz file, which has been compressed with gzip.) If you are on a fast machine with a possibly slow connection to the FTP site, one of these tarballs is all you need for the base XEmacs. Untar it, run 'configure', then run `make' and `make install'. Note that you will still need the XEmacs packages. Please see the file README.packages in the root of the source directory. ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.14-elc.tar.gz This tarball is the bytecompiled lisp of all the lisp (.el) files included in the above tarball. Bytecompiling all of XEmacs Lisp included in this tarball takes only a few minutes on a machine with any speed at all, so this file is not strictly necessary. A patch to upgrade from XEmacs 21.1.13 is also available: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.13-21.1.14.patch.gz After applying the patch, please run the command 'touch configure' in order to make sure 'configure' is newer than 'configure.in'. XEmacs-21.1 is the stable branch of XEmacs. As such, only bugfix submissions are allowed into these releases. Here is the list of bugfixes which were applied to 21.1.13 to create 21.1.14. The major change is to fix a security problem with gnuclient/gnuserv.

XEmacs Build Report for XEmacs-21.1.14 23 years, 3 months

Where should the build process find the source code? /home/acs/cvsroot/xemacs-21.1 What installation prefix should install use? /home/acs/cvsroot What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use? `s/linux.h' and `m/intel386.h' What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -O Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc? yes (Using Doug Lea's new malloc from the GNU C Library.) Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? yes What window system should XEmacs use? none Compiling in native sound support. Compiling in support for Berkeley DB. Compiling in support for LDAP. Compiling in support for ncurses. Compiling in support for GPM (General Purpose Mouse). Compiling in Mule (multi-lingual) support. Compiling in DLL support. movemail will use "dot-locking" for locking mail spool files. Using Lisp_Objects with minimal tagbits.

Some updated packages in Pre-Releases 23 years, 3 months

Steve Youngs

I've just uploaded the following packages to the Pre-Releases directory: debug edit-utils ediff eicq eudc lookup pcl-cvs psgml supercite text-modes xemacs-base I haven't updated the version numbers because these packages already have higher versions than the ones in the public area. I'm now just waiting for a couple of issues with Mew to be sorted out and then I'll be releasing the SUMOs. It should only be a couple of days. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 9E7E2820>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------<youngs(a)xemacs.org>---|
