Ar an triochadú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Jamie Zawinski:
So, it's been two years since Choi's Carbon XEmacs patches
were
released. Are you guys ever going to integrate that into the
mainline, and/or release your own GUI XEmacs for MacOS?
The plan is to integrate it into the mainline. Before we do that, Stephen
wants paid legal advice saying (basically, but there are subtleties to the
situation) that repudiating a public domain declaration does not affect the
public domain status of already copied code, which he is in the process of
getting.
Just curious if you've all given up, or what...
There’s an alternative Mercurial repository with his code, and bugfixes and
corrections from us, available, regularly synced with the mainline (and this
is trivial with Mercurial, so the task is less likely to get dropped on the
floor in the medium term). Quick start instructions:
% sudo port install mercurial # or fink, if that’s your Unix package handler
% hg clone
http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-carbon2
% cd xemacs-carbon2/carbon
% sh < build-app.sh
% open XEmacs.app
Changes compared to his latest patch are listed in lisp/ChangeLog.carbon2
and src/ChangeLog.carbon2 .
(You know, when they renamed it from lemacs to xemacs, they swore up
down and sideways that the "X" didn't mean "it will never work on
anything but X Windows"...)
Dealing with Win32 bugs relatively often, it’s hard to forget that the
software is multiplatform.
