patch: DESTDIR support for XEmacs 21.5.18 19 years, 9 months

Mike FABIAN

A patch to add DESTDIR support to the Makefiles of XEmacs 21.5.18 is attached. This should make it a bit easier for distributors to build XEmacs packages. I had already submitted such a patch in February 2004, but Steve Youngs pointed out some problems. As I was busy with other things I had no time to improve this patch until now. 2004-12-31 Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de> * Makefile.in.in: * dynodump/Makefile.in.in: * etc/tests/external-widget/Makefile: * lib-src/Makefile.in.in: * lwlib/Makefile.in.in: * man/Makefile: * modules/base64/Makefile: * modules/common/Makefile.common: * modules/zlib/Makefile: * netinstall/Makefile.in.in: * src/Makefile.in.in: * tests/tooltalk/Makefile: Add DESTDIR support. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

[21.5] make-docfile needs to deal with UNUSED in DEFUN 19 years, 10 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

Not for 21.4. Yes, there are UNUSED in DEFUNs. Dunno why; GNU or backward compatibility, I guess. This results in a badly broken docstring: the "UNUSED" itself is interpreted as a formal argument, and the following close paren ends the argument list. This patch works for me so far, but the whole thing seems quite delicate: any mistakes in the parser here will cost you the docstrings of everything defined in C.... Tests and comments welcome. Eventually I'll commit if nobody complains.

[PATCH] Add coding system aliases for utf-16-be and utf-16-le 19 years, 10 months

Re: Mule-UCS and the Euro sign. 19 years, 10 months

Aidan Kehoe

Ar an t-ochtú lá de mí Eanair, scríobh Aidan Kehoe: > One way to work around this would be to write a function that > recalculates that list and reloads all the Mule UCS code that depended on > it, [...] Turns out this is stupidly difficult. A more practical approach is something like the following patch, which unconditionally loads the charset and coding system info for the further Latin character sets and encodings, both on compilation and on loading. Further changes that are probably appropriate; add in support for latin-iso8859-16, copy the coding system initialisation files into the mule-ucs package so we don’t have a circular dependency. (Part of the patch is an iso-2022-7 encoded file, which is why I’m not including the text in this UTF-8 encoded email.) -- “Ah come on now Ted, a Volkswagen with a mind of its own, driving all over the place and going mad, if that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”

Hello, Below are some changes to the XEmacs Web Site that explain problems in package updates. -- When one has still EFS 1.32 installed, fetching the package index aborts due to EFS not knowing about Extended Passive Mode used by ftp.xemacs.org and others. -- When one has GPG installed, one needs to either get Norbert's key or to manually unset package index verification. The change below explains it. I did make validate, FYI. Cheers, Joachim PS: I used Patcher to create this email. It was my first time to use it; hope it's like you want.

Depending on whether you - are using mailcrypt/PGP, you will get some question - about keys to fetch or whether to use the index without - verifying the signature. If the new index was different from the - one already on disk, XEmacs will offer you to overwrite the old - index.</li> + the package index from the FTP site. + <ul> + <li>If you get the error message <code>Error in process + filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: ... 229 Entering Extended + Passive Mode ...</code>, your efs is too old. You need to set + <code>efs-use-passive-mode</code> to <code>t</code>, or use + the menu Options -> Customize -> Emacs -> + Files -> Efs -> Parameters -> Efs Use Passive + Mode, turn the option on, click on + <code>Set</code> and <code>Done</code>. + + Now you need to terminate the current ftp connection; do + that with <code>C-x k *ftp TAB RET</code>. Start + List and Install again.</li> + <li>You might be asked if an old package index shall be + overwritten, or if an index shall be created in + <code>~/.xemacs</code>, maybe it will ask to create this + directory. You will also be asked if you want to load the + package database. Confirm all those questions.</li> + <li>When you have mailcrypt and GPG or PGP + installed, XEmacs will try to verify the downloaded package + index. + <ul> + <li>If you have GPG installed, you might get the error + message <code>Can't check signature: Public key + 82EDF2C1D1DD84CD not found</code>. (The key id might be + different.) Then you don't have the public key of the + person who signed the package index - at time of this + writing, Norbert Koch. + + Enter the following command on the command line: + <pre>gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 82EDF2C1D1DD84CD</pre> + (Of course, you need to use the public key id + from XEmacs' error message in the gpg command.) You will + get a warning that the HKP interface is experimental - + don't worry, it works. Then comes the message that a + public key got imported. + + If your command hangs, there might be several + possibilites. One of the key servers might not be + reachable; stop the command with Ctrl-C and issue it + again. If it still hangs, your firewall might forbid + outbound connections to the key servers. Then fetch <a + href="http://ftp.xemacs.org/pgp-keys/norbert_koch.asc">http://ftp.xemacs....>, + save it to a file, and call <code>gpg --import</code> + with that file. + + Update your package index again; this time it'll + finish with the message `<code>Updated package + database</code>'. + + If you get the message `<code>The message was + corrupt</code>', try again updating the package index. + </li> + <li>If you have PGP installed, confirm the question that + keys shall be fetched.</li> + <li>If you still have problems with package index + verification, use Customize to turn off + <code>package-get-require-signed-base-updates</code>. + (By menu, that's Options -> Customize -> + Emacs -> Package Tools -> Package Get -> + Require Signed Base Updates.) But this should + be the last resort, as verifying downloads is an + important security measure.</li> + </ul> + </li> + </ul> + </li> Index: Install/index.content =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacsweb/Install/index.content,v retrieving revision 1.32 diff -c -1 -u -r1.32 index.content cvs server: conflicting specifications of output style --- Install/index.content 2004/12/10 00:25:10 1.32 +++ Install/index.content 2005/01/29 18:02:36 ＠＠ -239,5 +239,8 ＠＠ -> List and Install.
