Re: Mule autodetection is crap

KY> The autodetection is one of the most important Mule feature. Yes, and it is _terribly_ broken in 21.4 from the point of view of everyone in the world except Japanese and ISO-2022 multibyte users in general. It's the attempt to make autodetection _safe_, let alone useful, for the 95% of our users who aren't Japanese that is a major motivation for rewriting Mule. We get patches to return things to Japan-centric normal from you guys, and they re-break things for the Europeans. That's not acceptable. KY> There are other Mule-related problems as I reported in the KY> past. You have the source, you have the data that uncovers the problem. Feel free to fix it, just don't break things for other users. The best I can personally offer you (I am not up to speed on 21.5 yet) is that if you write a test for tests/automated/mule-tests.el, I'll make sure it gets committed, and it will be an eternal irritant to Ben (who hates test failures), until he fixes them. And I know Ben plans to get back to Mule soon after vacation, but he's got a couple more work spaces to commit first. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
