[Reiner Steib] [AUCTeX-devel] Re: Changes in font locking 17 years, 1 month

David Kastrup

Since this mail is relevant to XEmacs beta more than to AUCTeX-devel, I forward it here. I sometimes wonder whether XEmacs development happens in Potemkin villages nowadays. And it is sad that the "could not care less" attitude is not just restricted to packages under my care. It is not a matter of Emacs/XEmacs cultural differences. It is one of alive/dead project cultural differences.

As Stephen mentioned, this is an area that has been undergoing active work in the last couple of releases. In any case, a few more details would help. Is s: a samba share? Also, please send us the permissions on s:\Misc\Todo.txt as well as the s:\Misc directory.

The problem you reported was Using a fresh CVS checkout of XEmacs trunk the following snippet returns "1" when evaluated whereas it returns "5" in GNU Emacs 21.3, CVS GNU Emacs and XEmacs 21.4.15. (with-temp-buffer (with-syntax-table (make-syntax-table) (insert "foo bar") (backward-sexp 1) (point))) If `set-syntax-table' is used instead of `with-syntax-table', CVS XEmacs returns "5" as well, so I suppose that there is a problem in `with-syntax-table' or a function called by it. You presumably mean the macro `with-syntax-table', but it might be a good idea to explicitly say so and quote the code in question. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

want to test gnus 5.10.8? 17 years, 1 month

Mike Kupfer

gnus 5.10.8 is now available as a pre-release XEmacs package (the current stable package is gnus 5.10.7). I've been using it for quite awhile with no problems, but I only use a subset of its features. So some additional testers would be appreciated. If you'd like to try it out, the steps are 1. select a prerelease archive from the Pre-releases menu (Tools-> Packages->Set Download Site->Pre-releases) 2. update your package index (Tools->Packages->Update Package Index) 3. get the list of available packages (Tools->Packages->List and Install) 4. middle-click on the line for gnus 5. download and install (Packages->Install/Remove Selected) If you run into any problems, please report it on xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org. thanks, mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Releasing the Emacs guided tour into the public domain; also, video 17 years, 1 month

Jason Spiro

Hi Phil, Sorry to bug you about licensing. The XEmacs folk want to ship your tour too (IIRC all that's really blocking it is getting someone to hook it into the Help menu, though ideally they want to somehow get it to show up in a buffer so you didn't have to Alt-Tab back and forth to it:-D .) But they'd prefer different license terms. 1. Is it possible you could release your Emacs guided tour into the public domain? 2. Just curious: Do you happen to have a video or audio version of your first lecture? It would look great up there with all the videos at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=emacs+-amayita :-) P.S. Thanks very much for writing the quick tour. Regards, Jason Spiro -- Jason Spiro: computer consulting with a smile. I also provide training and spyware removal services for homes and businesses.

getting vhdl-mode-3.33.16 installed and operating? 17 years, 1 month

Doug Allison

I think that I might need to get something like (add-hook 'vhdl-mode-hook 'my-vhdl-mode-hook) into C:\Documents and Settings\douga\.xemacs\custom.el on my windows xp machine. Is there a website around that gives the install steps? I have the vhdl-mode-3.33.16.tar.gz file on my desktop.

How do you make shared libraries on Mac OS X ? 17 years, 1 month

Didier Verna

Hello, I can't compile XEmacs 21.4 on Mac OS X with external widget support because the syntax for making shared libraries is not the same as on other platforms. I don't know about XEmacs 21.5; I can't use it so I don't have it handy. With the very few minutes that I had this weekend, I spotted that the culprit is the -shared option which doesn't exist on Darwin gcc; it has a -dynamiclib option or something, but just using that instead wasn't enough to fix the problem. I don't have time to look into it further. Could someone already knowledgeable in Mac OS X system have a look at it please ? Thank you very much. -- Didier Verna, didier(a)lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (1) 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (1) 53 14 59 22 didier(a)xemacs.org _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

conventions for package structure 17 years, 1 month

Mike Kupfer

I just noticed that my new gnus package installs some stuff into etc/gnus, etc/smilies, and etc/sounds. Is this okay, or should it all be under etc/gnus? thanks, mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
