Re: pcl-cvs 1.46 and native Windows XEmacs

Mike> I tried out the new version of pcl-cvs mentioned in Mike> <http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/200005/msg00317.html> Mike> and it doesn't work right in the native Windows version of XEmacs Mike> unless you set directory-sep-char to ?/ before using it. This seems Mike> to be because it uses file-name-as-directory in various places and Mike> this appends directory-sep-char to the name if it isn't already there. Mike> Since path names coming back from the CVS server use "/" as a Mike> directory separator, this means that paths created using Mike> file-name-as-directory don't match paths coming back from the server Mike> and the sorting of the result of cvs-parse-buffer doesn't put things Mike> in the order expected. One obvious solution is to temporarily change Mike> directory-sep-char whenever pcl-cvs is parsing things, but there may Mike> be a better way to fix it. For some reason the previous version of Mike> this package didn't seem to have this problem. I haven't looked into Mike> why not. The new PCL-CVS is basically a rewrite, as far as I can tell. This is definitely a case for the upstream maintainer, Stefan Monnier. Please mail a report to pcl-cvs＠(a)cyclic.com. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
