GPLv3|L8R -- Status report - ready for inspection?
6 years, 10 months
Mats Lidell
Hi,
Here comes yet another status report from the project of converting to
GPLv3 or later.
There are two lists of files below. The first list contains all files
that are in an undecided state. Please inspect: Do we need to do anything
with them. If so what?
The second list contains all files that we can leave untouched and the
reason for that. Please inspect: Are all reasons OK and correct?
Are we getting close to the were an inspection of the xemacs-gplv3
repository could be performed? With the intent that it that is OK we
could merge back to trunk and go GPLv3 or later?

Crash running Cygwin bash shell under XEmacs
11 years, 7 months
Mike Alexander
I had a need to run something on my Windows machine today which
required a newer version of Cygwin than the ancient one that was
installed there. After I upgraded to the current version (1.7.9) I
can't start a shell in XEmacs (via M-X shell) using Cygwin's version of
bash. When I try to do so I get
Process bash.exe exited abnormally with code 35584
3 [sig] bash 1168 exception::handle: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
1556 [sig] bash 1168 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
bash.exe.stackdump
The stack dump is uninteresting except that the crash happens at offset
0x169220 in cygwin1.dll. It appears that this crash happens very early
on, before it's read /etc/profile. I see that I also have similar
stack dumps from other programs (find.exe and xargs.exe) in the XEmacs
directory all exactly the same.
I installed the latest Windows version of XEmacs from the installer at
<http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/binaries/win32/InnoSetup/XEmacs_Setup_21...>
and tried starting it with --vanilla. This didn't make any difference.
I also did a clean install of Cygwin 1.7.9 in case there was any crud
left around from the old version. This also didn't help. I'm running
on an old Dell with Windows XP Professional SP3. Perhaps that's the
problem. I probably should install Windows on my Mac under one of the
emulators, but that's more than I want to get into right now.
I've Googled around a bit and although others have seen this problem,
none of the solutions (mostly involving changing ownership of Cygwin
files and running rebaseall) did any good. The bash shell runs fine
when I start it using the .bat file installed by Cygwin, so it's
basically working, but it won't run in an XEmacs shell window.
Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it? This little episode
reminds me why I avoid using Windows, but sometimes it's necessary.
Mike

symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths
12 years, 3 months
Richard Cook
Hi, I compiled xemacs myself and installed into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname
I then made a symlink of $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/bin/xemacs to $HOME/bin/xemacs
I untarred the sumo tarball from http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/xemacs-sumo-2009-02-17.tar.gz and untarred it into $HOME/xemacs-without-ipv6-cname/lib/xemacs, which made a directory called xemacs-packages there.
When I run xemacs, I am not able to update my packages.
I go to Tools -> Packages -> Set Download Site -> Official Releases -> US and choose US Main.
I then go "update package index" or any other command in the Tools menu about Packages and it complains: "symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths"
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Some additional information. This is easily reproduced using M-x
customize-variable user-mail-address (for want of a better variable). There
is a problem when customize is creating the push-button. It's crashing in
(widget-apply widget :create) when the widget is a push-button. There's no
problem creating the info-link widget.

:-) .
Here are a couple of screenshots, the first of XEmacs with font Monospace 10,
the second of pango-view with the same font and the same (copied and pasted)

Moving the packages repo and converting to Mercurial
12 years, 7 months
Michael Sperber
OK, I now have the CVS repository massaged to the point where cvs2hg
will accept it. There's a basic decision to be made wrt. the
conversion:
#1 I can convert everything to one big Mercurial repo. (About
230MBytes.)
#2 I can convert every individual package into a Mercurial repo, and
arrange them as subrepositories to an umbrella repo.
#1 has the advantage that it's easy to do: However, there are various
import branches in CVS, which create a seriously mangled revision graph.
#2 is more attractive from a design perspective, and it's what I'd like
to do. It has a dowside, however:
There's still central content (the various build files etc.) that
needs to be in sync with the invidual packages. Mercurial handles
this just fine, but I don't know how to create a consistent set of
repositories from CVS. If you want to actually build an old version
of a package, you'll have to look up the revision of the central stuff
that matches it manually. This won't be necessary for revisions after
the move.
OK? Comments?
PS: If you have commit access to the Alioth Mercurial repository, please
get an account on Bitbucket (which is where we'll move the XEmacs
repositories in the near future) and e-mail me its name.

Not in normal operation. Most of the time, it's pretty much transparent.
However, I guess "hg grep" will probably not span subrepos. But is that
important?

Persian joining and Pango.
12 years, 7 months
Aidan Kehoe
Hello there,
I’m one of the XEmacs developers. Our GTK version, available here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-gtk/ , uses Pango. Joining for
Arabic-specific characters works fine, but joining for Persian-specific
characters doesn’t. So when I type:
الف به په ته ثه
alef, beh, teh and theh appear with no problems (well, the bidi is iffy, but
one step at a time), while peh doesn’t join to heh. On the same
machine, pango-view with the same text joins with no problems.
I’ve tried setting the GTK language to Persian; this doesn’t work because
the system locale doesn’t support it, but as far as I can see it shouldn’t
be necessary anyway. It’s not immediately obvious to me where to look next;
any pointers would be welcome.
Some version info:
$ pango-view --version
pango-view (pango) 1.28.4
Pango module interface version: 1.6.0
$ pkg-config --modversion pango
1.28.4
$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.22.1
$ pkg-config --modversion fontconfig
2.8.0
$ pkg-config --modversion freetype2
12.2.6
$
Best,
Aidan

[PATCH] XEmacs Xt dont recognize SHIFT F10 in linux
12 years, 7 months
FKtPp
Dear all,
I've just come out a patch for the XEmacs don't recognize shift
Function key issue.
please help review.
Thanks,
Kai
src/ChangeLog addition:
2011-08-25 It's me FKtPp ;) <m_pupil(a)yahoo.com.cn>
Fix issue in event-Xt so function keys can have shift bit set.
* event-Xt.c (x_event_to_emacs_event): make use of XConvertCase,
instead of hardcoded keysym lookup, to determind if a key is
subject to case convertion or not.
XEmacs source patch:
