21.4.9, which has a number of important fixes in it, is just about
ready to go. However, in the process of building the release I
discovered that a Motif build crashes immediately (Debian Linux "sid",
XFree86 4.1.0, LessTif 0.93.36)---about 10 frames deep in Motif, as
usual.
I would really appreciate reports of builds with Motif (vendor,
OpenMotif, or LessTif) on all platforms. I'm hoping this is limited
to Linux/LessTif.
Bonus brownie points, nay, a gold star, to anyone with a debug build
of LessTif who can track this bug down.
Prerelease is available at
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4/pretest/
xemacs-21.4.9.tar.gz # everything
xemacs-21.4.9-src.tar.gz # source only
xemacs-21.4.9-elc.tar.gz # compiled Lisp only
xemacs-21.4.9-info.tar.gz # info docs only
xemacs-21.4.8-21.4.9.patch.gz # patch against XEmacs 21.4.8
or by CVS using the `release-21-4' tag (_not_ candidate-21-4).
emacs-version should identify XEmacs as `21.4.9 "Informed Management
(RC2)"'.

The latest RedHat beta has 21.4.8. I suspect it's too late for them
to pick up 21.4.9 before release :(

Thank you!
(My scripts do this for both "real" releases and for intentional
pretests, but they don't do it if I don't use them because they do the
wrong thing for a "real" release that becomes a pretest. :-( )

I am not able to retrieve this file from ftp.xemacs.org(207.96.1.201):
If I try it, I get a 47 byte large file which contains an empty
file.

Hi Alexander,
ftp.xemacs.org is going thru the process of an IP address change.
Unfortunately these pretests don't appear to be on the US or DK
mirror.

I don't see any problem:
bash-2.05b$ ssh turnbull(a)ftp.xemacs.org 'cd /ftp/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4/pretest
&& ls -l'
total 20864
-r--r--r-- 1 turnbull turnbull 141241 Aug 22 06:02 xemacs-21.4.8-21.4.9.patch.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 turnbull turnbull 189 Aug 22 06:02 xemacs-21.4.8-21.4.9.patch.gz.asc
Not any more, that is. ;-)
Thanks to Alexander for picking this up. I indeed screwed up. (I
moved code to a subroutine and ended up with some quotes getting
stripped from arguments that were globs, and makepatch barfed on too
many arguments.)
I don't know what the schedule is for mirrors, so I don't know when
that will propagate.

No need to, on the contrary: thanks for the time and work all of you
spend on XEmacs.
I indeed screwed up. (I moved code to a subroutine and ended up
with some quotes getting stripped from arguments that were globs,
and makepatch barfed on too many arguments.)
I am now able to fetch and apply the patch; build reports are out.

Hi again,
until DNS catches up, you could try accessing the file via
ftp://207.96.1.201/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4/pretest/
Oops, I see a 47 byte file too:
