Release announcement: PXP, a utility to submit to xemacs-patches

Described in http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/200101/msg00416.html Get 'em while they're hot. Binary package (installs in lisp/pxp): http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/pxp-0.80-pkg.tar.gz Source package (installs in local/pxp): http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Tools/XEmacs/pxp-0.80-src.tar.gz Current versions of the code and the package are synched at 0.80, but they will probably decouple in the future if the package is added to libs/xemacs-devel as I will propose. APA> This works on Windows 2000 too now. I didn't do everything exactly as you have suggested, so this may be "fixed" again. :-P Let me know.... APA> ChangeLogs should be searched like patch-to-change-log does APA> it (using find-change-log). I don't know about this. `find-change-log' has certain side effects and makes some assumptions about where cwd is. I'm not sure it's appropriate. But it's a good idea and it's on the to-do list. add-log undoubtedly has a bunch of utilities that could be useful here. APA> I can't get it to produce -U 0 diffs for ChangeLog files and APA> -u diffs for other files. Dunno why that would be. So I brute-forced it. flet a function `cvs-diff'. Call it once for the list of ChangeLogs and once for the list of files. See if that helps. APA> Don't know why this is so, not even the cvs -f switch helped. OK, I've defvar'ed a cvs-opts variable, and also a null-device variable (I don't have grep-null-device). The defvar checks for (boundp grep-null-device). I am not going to add a require for one silly variable. * sjt-prepare-xemacs-patch.el (sjt/prepare-xemacs-patch): Fix infinite loop bug in event of missing ChangeLog entries. I fixed this by testing the result of re-search-forward, not eobp. APA> Don't know where you want to put it, I just have it in APA> xemacsweb because I had to save it somewhere. For now it lives in xemacs-packages/local/pxp, with source and binary kits at the URLs above. Once I get a little more feedback, I'll ask Steve to add it to libs/xemacs-devel. Sorry about the doc-string goofs; I actually fixed them in my workspace while I was writing the mail. But vm doesn't colorize Elisp properly ;-) -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
