GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: NEWS-files 15 years

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, In the same region as ChangeLogs and READMEs we have the NEWS-files. The NEWS files, NEWS, ONEWS and OONEWS, list the new features at a higher lever than the ChangeLogs. Definitely more edited files and prepared to be readable. I can find no real counterpart for the NEWS-files in Emacs. If we would go for finding all contributions we have the contributors from the "hg log" for the recent time but most contributions are from the cvs days of course. (So the question whether the cvs archive can be consulted pops up again.) On the other hand the old NEWS-files might be more of historical interest and might not need to be distributed as part of XEmacs? Comments, ideas?

Cool! Thanks! For this change, and for the buildbot. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

ISTM it's just the same as with any other kind of > change or contribution. It's a one-off, not a continuing advantage. Doing ChangeLogs right would involve mentioning the copyrights of all contributors, which would make them about 10% longer, I'd guess. Nor is there any usable evidence in the VCS log about ChangeLogs for non-committer contributors, as it's very often the case that the committer wrote the ChangeLog. So getting all the relevant copyright information would be a real drag for ChangeLogs, more so than the change itself (where the ChangeLog normally identifies the copyrightholder of the change). With the assignment policy, there's only one to mention, and no committer vs. contributor ambiguity is moot. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: READMEs 15 years

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, So we have a plan for the ChangeLogs. Next I turn to the READMEs. They occur in the directory hierarchy in different folders. These are not as homogeneous as the ChangeLog in style but many describe what is in the directory. Like here we have lisp, here we have sources etc. There is no copyright nor license in these READMEs. Emacs has copyright to FSF and license as normal but not in all READMEs. I guess "hg log" and maybe even going back to cvs (is there a copy of that repo somewhere?) could produce a list of committers. IMO that seems to over do it for this folder descriptive type of README. Comments, ideas?

Buildbot is offline 15 years

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, The buildbot it unfortunately offline. It is very likely a cable problem. (And if I'm right that is bad news. Last time that happened it took the operator a month to fix it.) I will contact the operator tomorrow. I hope I will know more after that.

GPLv3|L8R -- Remaining files one by one: ChangeLogs 15 years

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Hi, In the set of files that remains to be handled I turn to the ChangeLogs. (Hoping that they can be handled in the same way so that we don't really have to deal with them one by one from directory to directory.) In the current trunk these files are without copyright and license. What do we need to do in order to go GPLv3 or later? Thoughts, comments, ideas? Yours -- %% Mats _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Bug: C-M-f, C-M-b ignore string delimiters in AWK Mode. 15 years

Alan Mackenzie

Hi, XEmacs! XEmacs 21.5 (beta29) "garbanzo" a50bd2ecce55 [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Wed Mar 24 2010 on acm 1. XEmacs -q --no-site-file, then open a new AWK Mode file with C-x C-f ~/foo.awk. 2. Type this: # Comment /regexp/ { } 3. Save the buffer with C-x C-s, kill the buffer with C-x C-k. 4. Reload the buffer with C-x C-f ~/foo.awk 5. Move point to the opening regexp quote ("/"). 6. Note that C-M-f and C-M-b correctly move over the entire quoted regexp. 7. With point on the /regexp/ line, type <tab>, as though to indent the line. 8. Move point to the opening regexp quote "/"). 9. C-M-f and C-M-b now move wrongly to the beginning and end of the word "regexp", apparently no longer recognising the "/"s as string delimiters. ######################################################################### Notes: (i) the delimiters "/" are marked as string quotes by having extents on them with syntax-table property (7). (ii) I've checked that these extents are not changed by the <tab>. Would somebody please look at this bug. Thanks in advance! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

binding to G keys 15 years

Sirano Dhe-Paganon

Hello: how do I bind commands to the "G" keys of my G11 keyboard (http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/434/285?section=downloads&bit=&osid=13). I've already used-up all of my "F" keys (see below): unfortunately, replacing the "f" with "g" does not work.
