Dired update sucks
24 years, 5 months

Neal D. Becker
I'm using dired version Value: "7.10" with Value: "21.1 (patch 14)
\"Cuyahoga Valley\" XEmacs Lucid". Since I last updated packages
dired really sucks.
First problem is it keeps screwing up the listing so that the columns
don't align. Hitting 'g' fixes it.
Second, copying a file to another in the same directory inserts it
into the listing at an apparantly random location, rather than
alphabetical.
All in all, I think the previous version (which I never had any
problem with) was better.

Strange bug.
24 years, 5 months
Nickolay Pakoulin
Nickolay Pakoulin
Put the following code into a file, say "tmp.el":
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(require 'edebug)
(eval-after-load "edebug"
(progn
(put (quote defun)
(quote edebug-form-spec)
(quote (&define name lambda-list [&optional stringp]
[&optional ("interactive" (&or stringp def-form))]
def-body)))))
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then from the command line:
xemacs -vanilla -eval '(load-file "tmp.el")'
I have tried it on windows 2000 with xemacs-21.4.3, xemacs-21.5.1, emacs-20.7.1
and in each case I got the error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Symbol's function definition is void: &define
---------------------------------------------------------------------
emacs-20.7.1 on Linux gave the same error message.
xemacs-21.2.46 both mule and no-mule on Linux loaded *without* complains.
BUT! The second load goes ok in all tested emacsens:
xemacs -vanilla -eval '(condition-case nil (load-file "~/tmp.el")\
(error (setq failed t))) (load-file "~/tmp.el")'
All emacsens that failed <<-eval '(load-file "tmp.el")'>> succeeded in the
second case and set `failed' to `t'.

Mule-related corrections to manual

Salam,
Long ago, under subject "some MULE inconsistencies [with patch]" I've
already sent half of that patches. I now retry against 21.4.1 with
proper Cc: to xemacs-patches, ChangeLog entries, and more fixes.
If you need a patch to mule.texi over my patch from [20 Apr 2001],
just ask.
Probably more "＠cindex"es are needed in mule.texi, I'm not sure.

Packages installer doesn't work + other weirdiness
24 years, 5 months
Jani Averbach
Jani Averbach
Hi!
The Problems:
1st Problem
Compiling won't succees without --without-msw because configure try
linking against winspool library. (This is Linux machnine)
2nd Problem
The package autoinstaller won't work:
tools->packages->add download...
tools->packages->List and Install
(1) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (ftp-error FTP Error: DIR
failed: 500 Illegal PORT command.)
and in the menu buffer there is text:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
I have tried xemacs.org, and few other local mirros, but the situation is
always same.
3rd Problem
M-x build-report generated following error:
Symbol's function definition is void: mail
I supposed that it will generate a file, witch one I can mail other way,
but it seems that it like the mail the report by itself...
I compiled XEmacs-21.4.3 in Redhat 6.2 machine (intel,
glibc-2.1.3, kernel 2.4.x, XFree 4.0.3, ) with following command:
./configure i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-xpm --with-png --with-jpeg
--with-tiff --without-msw --with-athena=3d
After that I installed
efs-1.22-pkg.tar.gz
xemacs-base-1.53-pkg.tar.gz
as mentioned in the Installation-HOWTO.
But the result was problems listed above.
Any help will be very appreciate.
BR, Jani

BAD: Handling of package-index by package release and install system
24 years, 5 months
Adrian Aichner
Adrian Aichner
Hello All, Hello Steve,
many of you must be experiencing the same problems.
I had long wanted to write about the breakage I see.
Some Facts:
The package-index file contains
(package-get-update-base-entry (quote ...))
forms.
The file is not meant to be hand-edited:
;; Package Index file -- Do not edit manually.
;;;＠＠＠
(package-get-update-base-entry (quote
...
Building a package adds a
(package-get-update-base-entry (quote ...))
form at the beginning of the package-index file in the staging area.
The Problem:
When a package-index file is read, the last
(package-get-update-base-entry (quote ...))
form for a certain package in that file supercedes earlier ones.
This means that the Package Release Engineer has to fiddle with the
package-index file or remove the package-index file and rebuild all
packages from scratch.
Two Questions:
1. Is it a valuable feature for the package-index file to contain
multiple instances of the same package to provide a building history
of packages? We don't seem to have the interfaces to make use of this
feature today.
2. Shouldn't the latest addition to the package-index file supercede
older definitions?
Has anybody been working on these problems already?
Any suggestions what should be done?
I think item 2 really needs fixing.
Best regards,
Adrian

Problem with TAGS, but it's probably me.
24 years, 5 months

I wanted to find something buried deep within the XEmacs source. So I
decided to try out this "TAGS" thing.
make tags
Tools -> Tags -> Set Tags Table File (set to appropriate file)
Tools -> Tags -> Find Tag
infinite loop (escapable with C-g)
Is it a problem with me, or with XEmacs (21.5-b1)?
