Problem with edebug 25 years, 7 months

Charles G Waldman

In the course of attempting to do some work on Win32 subprocesses, I'm trying to use edebug to step through "call-process-region" (in code-process.el). Doing "edebug-eval-top-level-form" gets me: Invalid read syntax: "Expected", ("lambda" cl-lambda-list def-body) The offending line in the source file is line 151: (apply #'call-process program temp buffer displayp args))) Any tips?

Mew problem 25 years, 7 months

Charles G Waldman

Just realized, trying out a bunch of packages on WinNT, the "mew" package has a little problem - there are two files in the package called etc/mew/mew-folder.xpm and etc/mew/mew-Folder.xpm which is fine on Unix, but a no-go on a case-insensitive filesystem (like WinNT).

I think at the very least it should be able to 'upgrade', i.e. put the new version in the same location as the old. This currently is not possible an screws up mule-packages. Jan

config.guess broken starting from 21.0-b50 25 years, 7 months

Aki Vehtari

I've been busy lately, and haven't been building betas since 21.0-b48. Couple days ago I noticed that 21.0-b57 did not configure in alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d: ---Clip--- triton 15:33 /proj/ave/xemacs/build/alpha-dec-osf4.0 % ../../xemacs-21.0-b57/configure '--compiler=cc' '--cflags=-O2 -inline speed' '--gung-ho' '--prefix=/usr/local/xemacs' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--use-union-type' '--srcdir=../../xemacs-21.0-b57' '--site-includes=/usr/local/include' '--site-libraries=/usr/local/lib' checking host system type... alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d checking whether ln -s works... yes checking the configuration name Invalid configuration `alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d': machine `alphaev56-dec' not recognized ---Clip--- Today I had time to investigate it and I found out that this problem is there starting from 21.0-b50. I guess that following ChangeLog entry for 21.0-b50 tells why: +1998-07-18 SL Baur <steve(a)altair.xemacs.org> + + * config.guess: Synched with latest FSF version.

additional packages system functionality 25 years, 7 months

Raymond Wiker

I've written some utility functions for working with package-get-base.el The first of these is for reading in an incremental update (e.g, package-get-base.incremental-1998-10-01). The second function writes a new package-get-base.el file, using the current value of (the lisp variable) package-get-base. In a typical session, the user would 1) use package-base-update-from-file to read in the incremental changes (new or updated packages). 2) use package-dump-base to write a new package-get-base.el file. 3) byte-compile the new package-get-base.el. ;;; package-base-update.el (require 'package-get-base) (defun package-base-update-from-file (file) "Update package-get-base with new or modified package description entries from FILE." (interactive "fFile: ") (find-file file) (save-excursion (save-restriction (widen) (let ((standard-input (current-buffer))) (goto-char (point-min)) (do ((entry (read) (ignore-errors (read)))) ((null entry)) (if (assq (car entry) package-get-base) (setcdr (assq (car entry) package-get-base) (cdr entry)) (setq package-get-base (cons entry package-get-base)))))))) (defun package-print-entry (entry) (insert (format " (%S\n (\n" (car entry))) (do ((list (car (cdr entry)) (cdr (cdr list)))) ((null list)) (insert (format " %S %S\n" (car list) (car (cdr list))))) (insert " ))\n")) (defun package-dump-base (file) "Make a new package-get-base.el file using the current contents of package-get-base." (interactive "FFile: ") (when (or (not (file-exists-p file)) (yes-or-no-p "File %s exists. Overwrite? ")) (set-buffer (find-file file)) (erase-buffer) (insert ";;; package-get-base " (current-time-string) "\n") (insert "(setq package-get-base\n'(\n") (dolist (entry package-get-base) (print-entry entry)) (insert "))\n") (insert "(provide 'package-get-base)\n")))

glitch in package-get-base.el 25 years, 7 months

Charles G Waldman

xemacs-21.0-b57/lisp/package-get-base.el says: (xemacs-devel filename "xemacs-devel-1.16-pkg.tar.gz" but ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/binary-packages has nothing newer than xemacs-devel-1.15-pkg.tar.gz
