[Fwd: Mule doesn't work in newly released Windows XP] 22 years, 6 months

this sounds like a package problem. andy, any ideas? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Mule doesn't work in newly released Windows XP Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 09:36:48 +0400 From: "Eli Liang" <eliang(a)ixcelerator.com> To: <ben(a)xemacs.org>, <martin(a)xemacs.org>, <galibert＠xemacs.org>,<stephen(a)xemacs.org> FYI: Just to let you know that the latest version of Mule available on ftp.xemacs.org does not work properly in xemacs running native on a cleanly installed version of Windows XP.It fails with the error: (1) (warning/warning) Autoload error in: c:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\skk\auto-autoloads: Cannot open load file: mule (2) (warning/warning) Autoload error in: c:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\lookup\auto-autoloads: Cannot open load file: mule The same version of xemacs + Mule installed on Windows 2000 worked just fine.

looking for a project? 22 years, 6 months

Neal D. Becker

Anyone interested in an xemacs port of this? The preview-LaTeX package Here is the current README. Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into the source buffers. By mouse-clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results. Here is a screenshot. In practice, you might want to leave off the textmath conversion option, since it currently causes redisplay to get rather slow. Hopefully, this will improve in future Emacs versions. You need to have access to Emacs version 21.0.105 at least, a pretest version. No XEmacs support as to yet, volunteers welcome. http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net

xemacs-21.1.14 Revet Buffer on HP-UX 11.0 causes core dump 22 years, 6 months

MORAUSKE,TIM (HP-Boise,ex1)

Xemacs, I originally sent e-mail to Adrian.aichner(a)t-online.de. Adrian said to send it here. All that is needed to recreate the error, is to xemacs any C file and once it is loaded just ask to "File Revert Buffer" and you get a core dump. Here is the C stack Backtrace results. It doesn't look like much to me but I have never looked at one before. I hope this helps, Tim Morauske ***************************************************** $ xemacs te.c& [1] 6657 tim_apex /home/morauske $ Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved.

XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" is released. 22 years, 6 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

* XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" is released. "Artificial Intelligence" is the fifth in the OXYMORON series. Relative to XEmacs 21.4.3 "Academic Rigor", it contains a few typo fixes in the documentation, some minor bugfixes in the user interface, and some fixes to critical bugs, mostly in the MS Windows code. *** MS Windows users should NOT upgrade to 21.4.4 unless you *** *** are prepared to help debug certain known problems. Wait *** *** for 21.4.5. *** Unfortunately, there seems to be a bad bug somewhere in the new code for MS Windows, which causes frequent crashes. The primary Windows developer is currently out of the country, and I am about to leave for two weeks of vacation. So I decided to release "Artificial Intelligence" on the strength of the improvements on other platforms, and be prepared to make a new release to address the MS Windows issues and a few other pending patches immediately on my return. More detailed information about the changes is presented below. The first release in this series, Xemacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", contained a large number of improvements and extensions to the current stable version, XEmacs 21.1.14. For more information about the OXYMORON series, see etc/NEWS, the initial release announcement http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.4.0.html and the release planning page, http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/Public-21.2/. For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/. * XEmacs 21.4.4 is "gamma" software. Besides the usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11), we are now experimenting with a level of stability intermediate between "beta" and "stable", dubbed "gamma". At this point all the developers and most of our beta testers trust the 21.4 code base with all their editing needs. However, for several reasons, for users who absolutely must minimize risk, we continue to recommend the 21.1 series. It seems likely that 21.4.5 will be released in about 3 weeks when I return from abroad, to address the MS Windows problems. It is hoped that the following release will be designated "stable." * Changes included in XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" This file briefly describes all changes to XEmacs in the OXYMORON series of releases. In principle there should be no user interface changes listed here, since this is intended to be a stable series. In practice, some bugfixes do involve user-visible changes. In general users should be happy about them, but they may affect workarounds you have put in place. So those that do are noted here with (**). Also, the MS Windows platform support is not fully mature, and the GTK platform support is explicitly experimental. In those cases improvements that provably do not affect other platforms are accepted. The platform affected is noted, and the change is flagged (**). Fixing a critical bug is not considered a "user interface change" in the sense that there should be no way for it to interfere with you getting more work done. The changesare grouped into run-time, build-time, and "documentation and data" changes. For more details, including developers involved and dates, see the ChangeLogs below. - (**) There is a bug in "window procedures" under MS Windows only. Non-debug builds print a warning on stderr, and you may want to consider XEmacs unstable (save and restart) if you see it (debug builds assert here). - Printing the selection is implemented for MS Windows - C-g now works on MS Windows - Kinsoku (text wrapping for Asian scripts) fixes - "Scrolling with no scrollbar" crash on MS Windows fixed Krause). - Case conversion works for Cyrillic - Help is available with C-x s - M-x locate-library completes library names - (**) `replace-match' supports FSF-style match subexpressions - `compose-mail' is supported in about.el - (**) Renaming custom.el to inhibit loading it works - (**) "Reset to standard" works with "set" and "saved" Custom buffers - `Unbalanced parentheses' bug when dealing with mixed comment styles in c++/java/etc. mode fixed - Byte-compiler optimization fixes - Dired can handle directory names with unusual characters - Popup menus work with popup-menu-titles turned off - (**) M-? now invokes Help - Data corruption in network streams on MS Windows fixed - A few improvements and bug fixes in GTK support. - (**) EsounD support is no longer autodetected; you must explicitly request it. EsounD does evil things with signals and XEmacs cannot protect itself from the race conditions created. - (**) The "excessively long startup when not networked" (often on Red Hat Linux) problem is addressed with a configure option that defeats IPv6 host name canonicalization, `--with-ipv6-cname=no'. See also the discussion in PROBLEMS. - Better detection of Cygwin Perl - Support for old Cygwin betas dropped - Better support for Windows Millenium Edition - --with-widgets=no no longer autodetects Athena - Self tests work if directory is a symlink - Use ld reported by gcc, not gcc itself, to link - TAR define added to src/Makefile - Many small and medium documentation fixes, including an improved etc/sample.init.el, German tutorial, CCL fonts documentation - etc/xemacs-ja.1 replaced with new translation - much improved FAQ * ChangeLogs The changes in this release are grouped in the following sections. Some patches overlap a couple of sections, I (somewhat arbitrarily) assigned them to the section I thought was most important. The message ID and the URL with each log refer to the post in which teh patch was proposed on xemacs-patches.

Mule doesn't work in newly released Windows XP 22 years, 6 months

Er, that's a warning. If XEmacs crashed or exited, something else went wrong. Please inform us. I'm assuming not. As far as I know there are no binaries configured with Mule provided for the platform on ftp.xemacs.org. Nor is there a "mule.el" file anywhere. The only thing I can guess that would produce that error is using a no-mule XEmacs, and any no-mule XEmacs should produce that warning if skk or lookup is insatlled under xemacs-packages. Please do M-: (featurep 'mule) RET to check for the Mule feature. I bet it returns nil. Also, please check whether the skk and lookup packages are installed under xemacs-packages in Win2000. The way to avoid this warning is to install those packages under mule-packages instead. If you are using locally built versions of Mule XEmacs, please check using M-x describe-installation that Mule was actually configured in. If it was, please update to a recent version of net-utils using M-x list-packages RET, then use M-x report-xemacs-bug RET to send a bug report that will give a very complete description of the state of your XEmacs. -- 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?

Patch review process [was: [21.4.4] XEmacs still needs Xmu ...] 22 years, 6 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

Redirected to xemacs-beta. Long answer to a couple of simple questions. All of this really needs to be in an Info document, but isn't yet. So here goes: >>>>> "Darryl" == Darryl Okahata <darrylo(a)soco.agilent.com> writes: Darryl> [ Should I even bother with 21.4.4 patches? Yes. Please. I'd consider it a personal favor. *grovel* Darryl> What's the criteria for determining whether or not a patch Darryl> goes into 21.4.XX? ] Whether the 21.4 Release Manager == me <stephen(a)xemacs.org> likes it or not. In principle: For *nix platforms and cross platform code (including the great majority of Lisp code), increasing stability. All accurate doc patches will be accepted. For code changes, it should be "obviously and provably safe" especially for platforms where the change provides no immediate benefit. You don't need to provide a proof, but if I have to do it, application will be delayed. Cf. GTK below for one way to prove safety. An alternative is that the patch have been in 21.5 for more or less time without reports of problems, but I don't like that very much. A lot of MS Windows code gets in that way. For experimental platforms (eg, GTK) and code, ie, code that is not autodetected and must be enabled with a configure option (eg, --with-modules), anything that a "responsible party" (Bill Perry for GTK, eg) recommends will probably go in, as long as it is guarded by #ifdef HAVE_GTK, is in a file that is only linked in builds for that platform, or the like. Provably safe for other platforms, and I don't actually care about stability of experimental platforms. Another example: Normally I'd consider Andy Begel "responsible" enough for the modules, but I couldn't swallow his remove-module patch because it violates the basic assumption that Lisp calls can't crash XEmacs. As both those examples indicate, "responsible persons" need not be review board members. MS Windows: I defer to Ben and Andy. The platform is de facto not stable, so I'm not going to try to enforce it any more. Judgements as to "overall stability-improving" on that platform are beyond my competence under current conditions. In general I would probably accept patches on the recommendation of any review board member who's been active in the Windows platform, since mostly they wouldn't push if there was some chance Ben or Andy wouldn't like it. The policy is pretty much the same for 21.1, except that it's Vin Shelton, 21.1 Release Manager, who has sole approval power there. (And it's probably relevant. Once 21.4 seems to be really stable, we plan to retire 21.1 and Vin will take over 21.4. I'll move on to planning the next major release.) For 21.5, basically any reviewer can approve any patch, subject to veto. A veto overrides any approvals. Vetos can be appealed but that's one of the functions of xemacs-review, it's not really a public process. Example at point: Darryl> XEmacs 21.4.4 still needs Xmu even with --with-xmu=no. Darryl> Here's a patch that fixes it. Darryl> 2001-10-02 Darryl Okahata <darrylo(a)sonic.net> Darryl> * If HAVE_XMU was not defined (xmu was not being Darryl> used), xlwgcs.c was still referencing xmu functions. This is not quite provably safe in execution (there's no easy guarantee that over the years we haven't broken the functionality that substitutes for the Xmu code), but I interpret it increasing stability on the only affected (fairly unusual --with-xmu=no) platform. Ie, it won't break anything else and is necessary for that one. It will go in. (Subject to a more careful review, but a quick look seems OK.) Darryl> [ Side note: I've had commit access for nearly a year, but Darryl> I've yet to commit anything (I use CVS a lot, so using CVS In general, only Vin and I commit to the "official" releases, 21.1 and 21.4. It's a matter of personal convenience for the release managers. We both like it that way. For small/occasional patches to the trunk (21.5), it's typically more convenient to have the approving reviewer do commits. For packages, things are a little more complex. Many packages have external maintainers, who usually do all commits. Most other commits are done by Steve Youngs, the packages release manager. Commit privileges for non-reviewers allow (1) package maintainers to do their jobs directly, (2) the convenience of personal branches for large but as yet unapproved changes (eg, Richard Reingrub's garbage collection work), (3) integration of things that would otherwise be forks (eg, Bill Perry's GTK work), and (4) convenience for both reviewers and developer where a series of changes has been discussed and approved in principle, but the detailed patches haven't been submitted (mostly because they probably will need frequent and "obviously correct" adjustments). Darryl> isn't a problem). Do I need to subscribe to xemacs-review Darryl> (does it still exist)? ] No need to subscribe, and yes, it exists. Patch submissions, approvals/denials, and similar administrivia now all go to xemacs-patches. You may subscribe to that if you want to be sure to see the approvals etc. Or you can check the archives. xemacs-review is the policy channel, for people with patch approval power, policy votes, and/or final say over some part of the mainline. That's where we discuss personnel decisions, appeals of patch vetoes, and broad policy such as timing and major features in release plans, etc. So it's a closed list---most of those discussions are generally considered inappropriate for publication. But it's not appropriate if your contribution will be only in submitting patches, and discussing them when you have an interest. If you're willing to take on the responsibility of helping to ensure that all patches get reviewed, and policy-making, then xemacs-review membership is needed. XEmacs Review is a cabal in the sense that it chooses its own membership. The decision is primarily based on a history of past contribution and willingness to help process the patch queue or a few other policy- related admin positions (eg, Release Manager). Although you need to be a reviewer to have approval/veto power, *all* interested parties are always welcome to direct comments on patches (as to their importance and/or correctness) to *xemacs-beta*. Not *xemacs-patches*, which is basically the "for the record channel" for patchs and decisions, not for discussion. (You will be arrested by the Topic Police if you post discussion to xemacs-patches.) -- 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?
