Is there cvsupd or something like that >around there? The FreeBSD and OpenBSD projects use ctm to distribute updates for the source and even the cvs repository. Ctm is reliable and well tested. It makes a file called 'delta', which contains the changes in a directory tree since its last run, gzip's it and mails it out, preferrably to a mailing list. Run by cron daily it is sort of "set up and forget", as long as diskspace is sufficient. :) The only thing that needs to be done manually, is to supply a new snapshot tar.gz-file of the ctm target directory every few month. It is needed by new users to bootstrap. After a new user subscribed to the ctm-list and received the first delta, he would ftp the snapshot file and the delta files made between the one he had in the mail and this snapshot. If the cvs repository is distributed by ctm, people can use cvs locally with all its features, without need for a leased line. This is optimal for (us) poor modem users... Ctm is written in C, not in Modula as CVSup. >Actually, it would be fun to automagically trigger the mirror on >Steve's "Subject: .*XEmacs.*released.*" mails to xemacs-announce :-) It is a good idea to mail out the log messages of the cvs commits to a mailing list. People can track the development easily, and know when to update their local sources. See - http://www.openbsd.org/ctm.html - The FreeBSD Handbook for more. -hgw

At the time I made this change, isearch mode looked like it could handle this kind of situation.

Problems compiling XEmacs under Solaris 2.5 25 years, 8 months

Chris Tessone

Hi. I've been attempting to compile XEmacs under Solaris 2.5. Here are the commands I used to compile it: $ tar -zxf xemacs-21.0.tar.gz && tar -zxf xemacs-21.0-elc.tar.gz && tar -zxf xemacs-21.0-info.tar.gz $ cd xemacs-21.0 $ ./configure --prefix="/imsa" --external-widget --without-gpm --with-workshop --with-site-lisp --debug $ make Make dies with some errors after xemacs is compiled and it tries to run xemacs. Here is the lisp backtrace: # (catch #<INTERNAL EMACS BUG (opaque, size=4) 0x256ba0> ...) # (unwind-protect ...) # (unwind-protect ...) kill-emacs(1) # bind (error debug-issue-ebola-notices)

New packages get installed in xemacs-packages/man 25 years, 8 months

Mark Burton

Hi, Sorry if this has already come up, but I have only just started to subscribe to xemacs-beta. Using 21.2-b3 I have been trying out the fine network package retrieval & installation stuff and found that new packages were getting installed in /usr/local/xemacs/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/man ??? late-packages was being set to: ("/usr/local/xemacs/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/" "/usr/local/xemacs/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/man") Adding 'man' into packages-special-base-regexp cured the problem. (defvar packages-special-base-regexp "^\$etc\\|info\\|lisp\\|lib-src\\|bin\\|pkginfo\\|man\$$" "Special subdirectories of packages.") Strangely, the 'man' part was in the packages.el supplied with the last xemacs 21.0, why was it taken out I wonder. While I'm here, I have noticed that (with xemacs 21.?) the minibuffer doesn't seem to scroll horizontally correctly. For example, when using find-file and the file path name (after completion) is longer than the minibuffer C-e doesn't make the end of the file name visible. Is this a bug or do I need to adjust some setting? Thanks, Mark

Darryl Okahata <darrylo(a)sr.hp.com> writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: > I also have no idea as to the implications of libc5 vs libc6. Whatever you choose, make sure it uses libc6 aka GNU libc. All of the most recent distributions use it, so it shouldn't particularly be a problem. The two are not binary compatible (hence the .so major version number change). All new code should work with GNU libc and usage and support of libc5 is vanishing.

New tar RPMS 25 years, 8 months

W. Reilly Cooley, Esq.

Hello! I just uploaded a patched version of GNU tar to support bzip2 compression. I also compiled with pgcc-2.90.29 with options '-O6 -mpentium'. Ideally, the new version should show up in the appropriate places on Red Hat's FTP server soon, as tar-1.12-3.src.rpm and tar-1.12-3.i386.rpm. (It would be nice if the incoming package monitor would recognize *.[456]68.rpm, but it seems to only delete them. Wil -- W.

I see no reason this should break emacs/w3, other than the current window will be replaced with whatever URL you just clicked on though. A little odd. I haven't actually had a chance to test this though - my w3 time is ridiculously short. :( -bill p.

21.2 isearch keymap bug/changed behavior 25 years, 8 months

SL Baur

It appears to stem from this change: 1998-09-22 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> * isearch-mode.el (isearch-mode): Use overriding-local-map to set the keymap, not minor-mode-map-alist. (isearch-done): Restore overriding-local-map. What's happening is in Gnus summary mode I used to be able to isearch for a group and then hit M-g to fetch new mail in it. In 21.2 this instead runs the unbound (in Gnus) `goto-line' command. I prefer the 21.0 behavior.
