[Failure] The Package Smoketest
16 years, 2 months
Stephen J. Turnbull
C'mon guys, we need to do something about this. I think that the
people who are working to provide more advanced structures in Emacs
Lisp should be supported, and we've promised to do that in the stable
line and for some months after a new release gets promoted, which
realistically is a year away (at minimum).
Even though the monkey-patch hack I suggested is nowhere near as
general as I thought (I think it was Mike Kupfer who made me
understand that, thanks, Mike!), I still like it better (ie, think it
is as clean and more generalizable) than having to patch stable
versions to keep up with advances in packages' technology. But I'll
go with whatever Vin and Norbert think is best.
The alternatives on the table are
- My monkey-patch, which installs 21.5's autoloads builder into 21.4
during the package build for packages which need it, and will work
for all versions of 21.4 AFAIK
- Mike's patch to 21.4, which only works for some future version of
21.4
- both, so that we can support building the packages with earlier
versions of XEmacs, but have the relevant technology in 21.4 for
possible future use

Sorry for stripping email addresses, but, for me, tbird has problems
with x-posting between newsgroups and email (to my chagrin, often either
nothing gets sent or blank messages get sent).
My 2 cents. I think we have already discussed this, but I'm too lazy to
search for it right now. I believe the consensus was that we should
have both. Let me elaborate it a little more since I don't think it was
spelled out clearly.
So, suppose we are talking about ~/.xemacs and ~/Library/Application
Support/XEmacs. One of these is the real directory, say ~/.xemacs, and
the other is a symlink to it. This has the advantage that ~/.xemacs
will not show up under the Finder with the default settings (and the
non-default settings have other annoyances that I'm not going to get
into), but ~/Library/Application\ Support/XEmacs does which is a nice
convenience. Similar arguments apply for /usr/local/share/xemacs (or is
it /usr/local/lib/xemacs?) and /Library/Application Support/XEmacs.
This type of symlinking between Mac OS X and Unix directories is quite a
common customization for those of us who are really Unix users, but have
found a happy home on Mac OS X.

Ok I discuss this with Mats.

Oops that is (t)csh?
And what about
cvs remove:
find . \( -name '*' -o -name '.[a-z]*' \) -print -exec cvs remove {} \;
Or something of the sort and then after the copy the same for add

Again oops looks again complicated.

Dired problem reports
16 years, 2 months
Ville Skyttä
Hello,
I'm forwarding a couple of dired related bug reports here, perhaps someone who
uses it could have a look and/or comment?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432101
1) After using XEmacs for a while (C, C++ modes), auto-save triggers
minibuffer messages about "dired alist being mangled, and then the cursor
jumps around in the buffer and some newlines are inserted in the middle of
existing lines". IIRC something related to the alist mangling thing was
semi-recently discussed here, anyone remember more details?
2) The new pre-release dired package reportedly causes the following issues:
"
- Hitting enter while on top of a directory did not descend into the director
(reported that buffer 'dirname' was read-only)
- hitting 's' to resort by date would actually change to a different dired
buffer, etc
"
I don't think I've ever seen either issue.

A quick glance around the screen didn't reveal anything. What is an "issue
property module"? The error message read as if there was a missing Python
module, not that I forgot to fill out some required field.

A better user interface would also highlight the title of the field which
wasn't filled in (maybe render it in red text). Also, now that I go back
and study the submission form more closely, I see that the explanation of
the title highlighting is at the bottom of the form. Shouldn't that be at
the top?

ACL problem under Mac OS X 10.5.2
16 years, 2 months
robert delius royar
This is just a brief explanation. I would first like to know if anyone
is seeing the same problem as I under Mac OS X 10.5.2 using
macports-installed mercurial (0.9.5).
The two problems I see are
1)
hg 0.9.5 (installed from macports) will add ACLs to all the files and
prevent changes by group members if the directory which contains the
source does not have group write access. The ACLs override the owner's
write access. Note, that hg status (which should change nothing) also
causes the change; isn't that a violation of some UI dogma?
The solution is to make the directory containing the tree group
writable which does not lead to hg adding ACLs. That is not a real
problem in OS X 10.4 because the user's group is the same as the user.
But in 10.5 it can be a problem. My default group is staff. On a
multi-user machine, there could be other members of the group.
2)
hg pull causes any differences to be processed through Xcode's
FileMerge program which is an interactive GUI and not automatic--new
development with 10.5.2

(temp-directory) needs some (regexp-quote) love in gnuserv.el
16 years, 2 months
Skip Montanaro
I tried posting this ticket through the new tracker but was rebuffed with
this error:
Error: Required issue property module not supplied
so here's the bug report.
Skip
At the moment I have a very wacky (temp-directory):
/var/folders/5q/5qTPn6xq2RaWqk+1Ytw3-U+++TI/-Tmp-/
This is on a Mac OS X 10.5.1 system using some XEmacs.app wrapper I found on
the net.
All the plusses wreak havoc with (string-match). In particular,
gnuserv-temp-file-regexp needs a hug from (regexp-quote):

WTF: (string-match "\\S-" "\n") => t
16 years, 2 months
Stephen J. Turnbull
And on the contrary, (string-match "\\s-" "\n") => nil
That seems backwards to me.
More speculatively, I wonder if we shouldn't special-case ?\n and have
*both* of those evaluate to nil. The use case is that in a line-
oriented parser for shell scripts (specifically version.sh), I'd like
to write
(looking-at #r"\(\w+\)=\(\S-\(.*\S-\)?\)?\s-*$")
The problem is that if the value assigned is the empty string (not
whitespace), the first \S- sucks up the newline, and then the rest of
the next line!
