Re: update vc??

I would maybe volunteer, but I think this will be a huge effort. First of all I see in vc.el: (require 'dired-aux)) ; for dired-kill-{line,tree} That's missing. So let's compare xemacs dired.el vs. emacs dired.el. Ouch not even close! OK, try compiling emacs dired.el: Compiling file /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/dired.el at Tue Aug 13 14:51:12 2002 While compiling dired-readin: ** function dired-readin used to take 2-3 arguments, now takes 2 ** variable failed bound but not referenced While compiling dired-readin-insert: ** function dired-readin-insert used to take 1-2 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-insert-headerline: ** function dired-insert-headerline used to take 0+ arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-revert: ** dired-uncache called with 1 argument, but requires 2 While compiling dired-insert-old-subdirs: ** dired-uncache called with 1 argument, but requires 2 While compiling dired-uncache: ** function dired-uncache used to take 2 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-find-file: ** function dired-find-file used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 0 While compiling dired-find-file-other-window: ** function dired-find-file-other-window used to take 0-2 arguments, now takes 0 While compiling dired-display-file: ** function dired-display-file used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 0 While compiling dired-get-filename: ** reference to free variable default-file-name-coding-system While compiling dired-move-to-filename: ** function dired-move-to-filename used to take 0-3 arguments, now takes 0-2 While compiling dired-move-to-end-of-filename: ** function dired-move-to-end-of-filename used to take 0-3 arguments, now takes 0-1 While compiling dired-buffers-for-dir: ** variable pattern bound but not referenced While compiling dired-alist-add-1: ** function dired-alist-add-1 used to take 2-4 arguments, now takes 2 While compiling dired-do-flagged-delete: ** evaluating (< nil 0): (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p nil) While compiling dired-internal-do-deletions: ** function dired-internal-do-deletions used to take 2-3 arguments, now takes 2 ** dired-log-summary called with 2 arguments, but requires 3 While compiling dired-mark-prompt: ** function dired-mark-prompt used to take 2-3 arguments, now takes 2 While compiling dired-format-columns-of-files: ** function dired-format-columns-of-files used to take 1-2 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-mark-files-in-region: ** function dired-mark-files-in-region used to take 2-3 arguments, now takes 2 While compiling dired-mark: ** function dired-mark used to take 1-2 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-mark-symlinks: ** function dired-mark-symlinks used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-mark-directories: ** function dired-mark-directories used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-mark-executables: ** function dired-mark-executables used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 1 While compiling dired-flag-backup-files: ** function dired-flag-backup-files used to take 0+ arguments, now takes 0-1 While compiling dired-unmark-all-files: ** variable query bound but not referenced While compiling dired-log-summary: ** function dired-log-summary used to take 3 arguments, now takes 2 While compiling dired-sort-set-modeline: ** function dired-sort-set-modeline used to take 0-1 arguments, now takes 0 While compiling dired-sort-other: ** function dired-sort-other used to take 1-3 arguments, now takes 1-2 While compiling the end of the data: ** The following functions are not known to be defined: file-system-info, propertized-buffer-identification, posn-window, event-end, posn-point I think we need someone with a lot more elisp expertise than I have to fix this.
