To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: dired fails with some locales --text follows this line-- Dear Bug Team! In dired mode, the up/down cursor key was putting the cursor at the start of each line, instead of at the filename. Pressing ENTER (even when I manually positioned the cursor to the start of the filename part) resulted in the error 'No file on line'. For reasons unknown to me, the 'ls -l' command is outputting file mod times with dates formatted as 'mm-dd' (eg 08-23), instead of the usual 'MMM dd' (eg Aug 23). Took me a few hours to discover that this was why dired was failing. Example output from my system's 'ls -s' follows: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 08-18 00:14 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 08-18 00:14 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 08-18 01:33 conf After some study of dired.el, I found the regexp for matching filenames in dired listings, 'dired-re-month-and-time'. My fix is a bit yuck, but it works. Should be usable as a starting point for an official xemacs package maintainer to do it right. Hack dired.el, near line 791 (where dired-re-month-and-time gets set) Change (date-month (concat "\\(" date " " month "\\)"))) to: (date-month (concat "\\(" date " " month "\\)")) (date-date (concat "\\(" date "\-" date "\\)"))) Then, delete dired.elc (or byte-recompile dired.el) After restarting Xemacs, dired should then work nicely!
