Paul> Exception: Paul> comments starting in column 0 are not moved. Yes, that, and also the following paragraph. Some major modes have special rules for indenting certain kinds of comments in certain contexts. For example, in Lisp code, comments which start with two semicolons are indented as if they were lines of code, instead of at the comment column. Comments which start with three semicolons are supposed to start at the left margin. Emacs understands these conventions by indenting a double-semicolon comment using TAB and by not changing the indentation of a triple-semicolon comment at all. You have a valid point, though. single-; comments srarting in column 0 should not be moved and comment-region would work as advertised! You opened my eyes! To All: Isn't this what we should do?

pcl-cvs buglet 22 years, 11 months

Neal D. Becker

I marked a bunch of files in pcl-cvs mode. Then I chose "undo changes" from the menu. It prompts "Delete 8 files?". Rather misleading.

Help test EFS 23 years, 5 months

Michael Sperber

Steve Youngs has just released EFS package version 1.25. This is an experimental prerelease of EFS available as /ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages/efs-1.25-pkg.tar.gz In order to turn this into an official package release, I urgently need your help in testing it. I've tested EFS on a number of servers, but I only have access to Unix machines for client testing. So I especially need some reports from Windows users, connecting to both Unix and Windows ftp servers. This is especially as some subtle but possibly crucial aspects of the EFS<->client interactions have changed. I'm slowly working towards a testing suite, but it is not yet done and the urgency of the XEmacs/Cygwin situation has prompted me to try to release earlier. Let me emphasize that, if I cannot get some testing done by the community, the release will be significantly delayed, as we cannot risk putting out a faulty EFS to the general user community, given its current prominent role in the XEmacs package system. I appreciate your help. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla

That's with an ADSL connection, native 21.4.3 on Win2k. If it doesn't wait properly, this could explain why the experimental EFS seems shaky, with both cygwin and windows ftp. Things fail 1st time, try again (when things are cached) and it works. /J. Haglund > > I'm connected via an ISDN line so ftp transfers are not too fast. > This might have something to do with it.

Re: [PATCH] fix compile errors, C-g problems, etc. 23 years, 5 months

Paul Stodghill

> NOTE: This patch has been committed. I've checked out the changes and recompiled. (while t) - C-g works - C-Sh-g works (let ((inhibit-quit t)) (while t)) - C-g doesn't works - C-Sh-g works as expected. Excellent! Two additional things: First, I've started noticing the dreaded "random lockups" since the change to set BROKEN_SIGIO. I will let you know if I continue to observe them with the most recent set of changes. Second, I had to make a few changes to get event-msw.c to compile under cygwin. I will post these to xemacs-patches separately.

Packqage Problem with 21.4.3 23 years, 5 months

Jake Colman

I 've been installing my own (that is, not root) versions of XEmacs for quite some time. I configure with --prefix=$HOME and install it for personal use withput a hitch. I've just upgraded from 21.1.12 to 21.4.3 and have a problem with package updates. With 21.1.12, if I updated the packages list and/or packages, the update would be applied to the XEmacs distribution as whole, i.e., $PREFIX/lib/xemacs. When I do the same think with 21.4.3, it wants to apply the update to $~/.xemacs. This would only update my personal copy of XEmacs but not the installed copy. Since I've installed this copy personally, the end result won't matter except for: 1) Anyone that points to my XEmacs binary. They won't see those updates since they've not been applied to $PREFIX/lib/xemacs 2) How would my SA who installs this as root in /usr/local update the official installation and not root's private packages?

GTK+ and 21.2 23 years, 5 months

Doug Alcorn

After seeing the "Call for Testers" for 21.2/22.0, I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. I'm primarily interested in the GTK+ port. So, I went out and grabbed the latest xemacs from cvs with: $ cvs -d :pserver:xemacs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot checkout -d xemacs-21.2 -r release-21-2 xemacs When I run ./configure, I don't see anything about enabling gtk+. Has the gtk+ port been merged in with 21.2 yet? Is it the default toolkit? How do I compile xemacs with GTK+ support? -- (__) Doug Alcorn (mailto:doug＠lathi.net http://www.lathi.net) oo / PGP 02B3 1E26 BCF2 9AAF 93F1 61D7 450C B264 3E63 D543 |_/ If you're a capitalist and you have the best goods and they're free, you don't have to proselytize, you just have to wait.
