Memory exhausted 2 25 years, 8 months

[jam＠athene jam]$ Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command M-x describe-installation. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up. (If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. A similar procedure should work for all of these. Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)

Forgotten Package issue 25 years, 8 months

Jan Vroonhof

5. mailcrypt and mailcryptng shadow each other. What is the deal here? Should the "mailcryptng" have a "distribution unstable" line so it won't be picked up in Sumo's? Jan

cvs mirroring 25 years, 8 months

Olivier Galibert

*Hate* Our network sucks. Since I can't cvs diff at a reasonable speed and cvs update'ing in my trees take ages, I'd like to be able to mirror (readonly of course) the xemacs cvs repository. Is there cvsupd or something like that around there? Actually, it would be fun to automagically trigger the mirror on Steve's "Subject: .*XEmacs.*released.*" mails to xemacs-announce :-) OG.

It is just that VC doesn't fit snuggly into the package system yet and therefore it is not enabled by default anymore. I have just submitted a patch which makes at least the menu appear. Jan

Re: [patch] automatic loading of package-get-base 25 years, 8 months

greg(a)alphatech.com (Greg Klanderman) writes: > What if I'm just Joe User installing packages in ~/.xemacs/packages > and *can't* write to /usr/local/...../lisp/package-get-custom.el? Note that the current package tools mostly not ready for user instalation. But anyway one could just junk it in ./xemacs .. I fell that the whole package-get-custom.el thing should not be needed. The custom info should be generated on the fly from the package-get info.

Remaining package issues in latest (pre8) XEmacs 25 years, 8 months

Jan Vroonhof

The network segment with the machine I have XEmacs 21.0 just dissappeared so I have to write my comments from memory 1. The package tools and the website disagree over the name of the package index. the tools want ".LATEST" but the site has ".LATEST.pgp". After I changed the name it went very smoothly 2. The failure in 1. highlighted another problem. Package-get should offer to fall back on the local info (cached from last time, or from the distribution if this is the first time). 3. text-mode 1.13 is broken. The '(defvar flyspel-mode-map)' in fly-spell.el should get an autoload. BTW Big Kudoo's to whoever implemented that errors in init files now are reported as warnings. (Yes I know that is not new). 4. I will make a new patch to get a least a minimal VC menu.
