patcher.el<1.12, 1.13> have broken patcher-logmsg-commit 21 years, 9 months

Adrian Aichner

It's a case-fold-search issue I haven't been able to resolve in half-an-hour. %S replacement is done, even though patcher-logmsg-commit-command %contains %s. I was able to commit my pending change using patcher.el<1.11>. case treatment in (defun replace-in-string (str regexp newtext &optional literal) is on trial. It uses re-search-forward for strings longer than 50, string-match otherwise. case treatment is undocumented for re-search-forward, depending on buffer argument for string-match. (if (> (length str) 50) (with-temp-buffer (insert str) (goto-char 1) (while (re-search-forward regexp nil t) (replace-match newtext t literal)) (buffer-string)) (let ((start 0) newstr) (while (string-match regexp str start) -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/

Why should shell-command-on-region call kill-buffer? 21 years, 9 months

Olivier Galibert

Specifically, in the no output case, you have: (let ((lines (save-excursion (set-buffer buffer) (if (= (buffer-size) 0) 0 (count-lines (point-min) (point-max)))))) (cond ((= lines 0) (if success (display-message 'command (if (eql exit-status 0) "(Shell command succeeded with no output)" "(Shell command failed with no output)"))) (kill-buffer buffer)) [...] What is the reason for that kill-buffer? I see nothing in the documentation telling that the no output case is special... OG.

Welcome to new Beta Release Manager and Package Managers 21 years, 9 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

I'm pleased to announce that Steve Youngs has decided to take on the challenge of XEmacs Beta Release Manager, and in turn Ville Skyttä will be shouldering the duties of XEmacs Package Release Engineer, with Peter "Rendhalver" Brown assisting. These are primarily administrative positions, concerned with tracking and applying patches and packaging distributions. This involves a fair amount of time, and I am glad for this opportunity to acknowledge their contributions. Adrian Aichner, Vin Shelton, Andy Piper, and I continue as Webmaster, 21.1 Release Manager, 21.4 (Windows) Release Manager, and 21.4 Release Manager respectively, rounding out the administrative core. The XEmacs Review Board (see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/jobs.html) continues to set policy, both for administration and architecture. Almost all policy discussions now take place on the XEmacs Design mailing list (open subscription, open post). Of course, contributions of code, testing, and bug reports are the lifeblood of an open source software project. But if you'd like to contribute some time and effort to management of the XEmacs Project, there are any number of tasks, large and small, that are being shared (or neglected :-( ) at present. Feel free to write me off list to volunteer, or on list (XEmacs Design) to discuss your ideas for future directions. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN

Use of RECOMMEND. [was: fix case problem in replace-in-string] 21 years, 9 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

General discussion, moved to xemacs-beta. >>>>> "drv" == Didier Verna <didier(a)xemacs.org> writes: drv> NOTE: Something similar (the replace-in-string part) should drv> probably be applied to 21.4, but I don't have it handy For 21.4, don't hesitate to use the RECOMMEND keyword even if the patch won't apply. I would consider it a courtesy if you'd mention the fact that you don't think it applies in the explanation. If I want help, I can ask for it. It's more important that I notice the recommendation. I don't know how Vin and Steve feel about 21.1 and 21.5, but my suggestion is to use "RECOMMEND" to make sure it's noticed, until they say otherwise. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.

XEmacs hangs loading customize menus 21 years, 9 months

David Bush

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! XEmacs 21.5-b7 updated from CVS on July 15th. From the menu bar Select Options->Advanced. After several loading messages in the minibuffer, all activity stops. The Windows task manager shows that XEmacs is consuming all of the CPU time. This does not seem to happen if customize is accessed as a command. It also does not happen with 21.4.8 (Windows[3]) Reconstructed stack trace after doing a kill -ABRT 0x0570b21 emacs_mswindows_next_event event-msw.c:4420 0x047e557 event_stream_next_event event-stream.c:561 0x0480d57 next_event_internal event-stream.c:2077 0x048212a Faccept_process_output event-stream.c:2739 0x046bf74 Ffuncall eval.c:3750 0x041b9e3 execute_optimized_program bytecode.c:676 ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DBUSH1-MOBL 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown ./configure '--pdump' XEmacs 21.5-b7 "broccoflower" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.

Indenting a script crashes XEmacs 21 years, 9 months

IMHO, any of these choices doesn't sound too good. Would this one work? 4. Provide the XEmacs apel package without byte-compiled files. -- \/ille Skyttä
