No, Eduardo stopped maintaining eos back in 1995 when I joined Sun, and
I never maintained it while at Sun. I'm surprised that eos would be
loaded by the Sparcworks integration (which I did maintain for a
while).
Historical: eos is "Eduardo's Own version of Sparcworks".
Please submit your symbol renaming patch to xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org.
Will do. Actually, I'm not sure that we can't just comment it out but
I haven't tested that yet.
N.B. I'm a C hacker. Lisp makes my head hurt, not as much as it used
to but any lisp code I submit should be closely scrutinized.
Try to see where sun-eos-debugger-extra.el is being loaded from.
OK.
Here's what I have in my .emacs:
(if (>= emacs-major-version 21)
(progn
(require 'mime-setup)
(when (featurep 'tooltalk)
(load "tooltalk-macros")
(load "tooltalk-util")
(load "tooltalk-init"))
(require 'cc-mode)
(when (featurep 'sparcworks)
(require 'sunpro "sunpro-init")
(require 'ring)
(require 'comint)
(require 'annotations)
(sunpro-startup))
))
This became necessary in XEmacs-21 when the sunpro startup support got
yanked out of xemacs-base I believe. Before that, SPARCWorks was
detected during configuration and compiled in. I asked the list at that time
if this looked reasonable and I believe the only response I got was
from Martin who gave me Tor Norbye's name as the person to contact at
Sun. At any rate it works, so I was happy.
In my case, the call to sunpro-startup adds the SPARCworks menu item,
does a bunch of stuff and eventually loads sun-eos-debugger-extra
among other things.
