Dear fellow developers -
The web pages definitely need some updating. What is the state of the
CVS xemacsweb repo? The debian.org CVS version doesn't seem to be
working for me:
cvs -q update
cvs [update aborted]: unrecognized auth response from
cvs.alioth.debian.org: cvs [pserver aborted]: /cvsroot/xemacs: no such
repository
Mike - is there any chance you can port this to a bitbucket archive? I
guess the hard part would be the triggering. Adrian - do you have
interest in working your magic again?
- Vin

21.5.X Mule and iso-8859-8 hebrew font problem.
13 years
Uwe Brauer
Uwe Brauer
Hello
This is a little odd.
I have some hebrew latex document, from which I erased all
its latex commands and which I saved via Kile (a LaTeX
editor)
to a text file with the following coding:
- iso8859-8
- cp1255
- UTF8
Now there are 2 problems,
- I am not sure whether kile works correctly but there
is no difference in bytes between the 8859-8 and
cp1255 version. Using the command
file hebrew.txt
both files are classified as 8859-8.
The UTF8 file is regarded as such by `file'.
- when I open the UTF8 file in Xemacs-21.5.29 Mule, it
is displayed as hebrew.
- when I open the cp1255 file or 8859-8 files it is
not. Well I thought: this is a font problem. I have a
couple of 8859-8 fonts installed on my Laptop.
So I switched in the files of question the fonts via the
function
(defun my-hebrew-xemacs-etl-set-240 ()
(interactive)
(set-face-font 'default "-etl-*-*-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-8")
)
(This font exists as I checked via xfontsel.)
But to my surprise the non ascii letters are not displayed
as hebrew.
That is the problem?

leim/quail and mule doble names of pkg
13 years
Uwe Brauer
Uwe Brauer
Hello
I just realized that there are files in the lisp packages
whose names coincide:
For example
ethiopic.el
This appears in lisp/mule
for the coding
but also in
mule-packages/lisp/leim/quail/ethiopic.el
for the input method.
Is this wise?

[Bug: 21.4.22] email picture(?) causes crash of xemacs
13 years
Michael Richardson

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I have placed a uuencoded file at http://www.sandelman.ca/tmp/26.uu.
It is an email file from mh-e/nmh/gnus. When I display it, it causes
Xemacs to crash repeatedly.
If I should report this via debian, let me know.
Here is the report:

Fatal error (6).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do report
the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug,
or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If necessary, send
ordinary email to `xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include the XEmacs
configuration from M-x describe-installation, or equivalently the file
Installation in the top of the build tree.
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type
gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c unlimited'
in case of future recurrance of the crash.

It's not part of any test, and it's unfair to imply that I ever meant
that. I don't recall the thread in full, but that kind of statement
is invariably an answer to somebody who is suggesting that XEmacs
would be much more popular if we (ie, *not* the person making the
suggestion) would just fix X and Y.
Now, such bugs are worth fixing *because they're bugs*[1]. However,
that's all; I do not believe fixing them will improve developer
recruitment more than fixing any other bugs, and I object to people
lobbying for *others* to work on certain bugs on the grounds that it
would be good for XEmacs as a whole if *those* bugs were fixed at the
expense of other work that could be done, when I'm quite sure it's not.
I don't even think they'll help recruit non-developer *contributors*
very much (eg, people who rarely if ever contribute core code but do
contribute init file snippets and help people workaround known bugs on
the mailing list).
Later you go on to identify a class of bugs that I *do* consider more
important than other bugs: lack of and/or inaccurate documentation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "different keystrokes".[2]
But, yup. This is a problem with package systems in general. If you
don't have the package, you won't have the docs. This is very
frustrating when you're dealing with a variable like
`allow-remote-paths'. But at least XEmacs always distributes docs
with the package (if available)! Many OS distros don't. :-(

Well, no, that's not my argument. The question is "how big is the
fix?" In my estimate, a real fix would be quite large because it
involves fixing or working around some poor design decisions.
Eg, it would be easy enough to just drop some or all packages into the
source tarball, but that begs the question of where to install them.
The answer to that question currently is "that depends", so there will
need to be some more or less tricky logic in the configure script and
makefiles to get it to work smoothly. If it doesn't work smoothly,
the poor user is just playing the "mole" role in Whack-a-Mole. My
preference is to admit it's broken until it's fixed from the user's
point of view, rather than to fix symptoms and hope the problem won't
then pop up elsewhere. (Especially since we know it's a vain hope.)

Uh, but you *didn't* let it stop you. *That* is the test.

Sure, but you're preaching to the choir. In the last ten years I've
[re]written more documentation and tests for XEmacs than I have code,
and more documentation than anybody except Ben Wing. Writing usable
documentation is much harder than writing usable code[3], and getting
many developers to write any documentation at all is close to
impossible: they just disappear if you threaten not to apply their
patches without documentation.

There isn't such a chart for most systems because it's not simple
(there are 16 configure options to control the installation of the
XEmacs core documented in INSTALL, and a few more for packages),
unless you use the Windows installer. The installation locations can
be very flexibly configured, and in fact AFAIK the majority of actual
installations do not use the defaults.[4]
We do describe the defaults in the INSTALL file, in the "Configuring
the Installation Layout" and (strangely enough) "RUNNING MAKE"
sections. While that file could be better organized, I don't think
it's unreasonable to ask you to read the whole thing if you're having
problems installing (which includes getting XEmacs to run correctly
the first time, IMO YMMV).

That timing doesn't make sense to me. From version 20.4 released in
February 1998 (almost 14 years ago), packages were distributed
separately from source. We still had a few binary kits up to that
time, but since then only Windows has had installers made. But the
Windows installers always include both a selection of packages and a
runnable XEmacs binary and auxiliary binaries. The selection of Lisp
packages has varied over time.

That's weird. AFAICR, "sumo" was never used to refer to the GNU-style
editor bundled with all application libraries (used in XEmacs 19 and
20), at least not after the release of 20.4. From the first it was a
reference to the tarballs containing the full suite of packages, and
we've always provided those, except for some problems with hosting.
But this, and the next few things you refer to (required packages
missing from the list, references to outdated versions), are just
bugs. The people who actually know the package system well have done
some documentation, but more would be useful and the first drafts
weren't terribly helpful to beginners. I've done a little bit of work
on it myself, but it's hard work due to the historical confusion of
Unix-style installations and a lack of a coherent explanation of the
current design (which is a patch on the original design, and may be
hard to explain coherently...).

The most important tool is an email account, to ask for help on
xemacs-beta, though. When I talk about people allowing themselves to
be stopped, I'm referring to the people who Andreas says give up at
the installation stage or first-try stage, without even posting a
message to xemacs-beta.

It's more than just a bit of work, though. Stuff like Phil Sung's
Guided Tour is a labor of love. And you're very right about this:
> And it is not *coding* work that the people who get past the

Yeah, well, who *is* interested in doing that? We've got the Guided
Tour (and yes, I installed that, with a lot of encouragement from the
reviewers and xemacs-beta posters). But Sung is the only person I
know who has done anything like this for Emacsen.

That was a pain in the neck. I think it's a browser issue in part.
What I ended up doing was copy/pasting, and doing a little bit of
editing to get rid of (1) a leading space (I have no idea where that
came from), (2) a trailing newline because I dragged too far when
highlighting the region, and (3) some backslashes that came from the
terminal to indicate a wrapped line. But browsing to the file didn't
work, even trying several different files (maybe there were trailing
newlines in them, I didn't check to see if I could force Bitbucket to
take a file). I haven't tried to document it because it seems to work
for other people and I don't understand what went wrong.

Yeah, but it's not something *we* can do much about, except complain to
Bitbucket (which I've done with no change yet). Every host we've had
has caused this kind of problem. ftp.xemacs.org currently has a
broken passive FTP setup. cvs.debian.org doesn't work at all and
Debian has made no move to fix it; fortunately we could still checkout
from anonscm.debian.org and move our CVS stuff to Mercurial.
Sourceforge kept losing our requests for more space, and broke various
of our more tricky configurations about twice a year by moving hosts
or changing their configuration or prohibiting shell logins, etc. And
on and on.
The best host we had was sunsite.dk but they went out of the business
of hosting open source (and even when they were operating they got hit
by lightning remarkably often!)

I didn't say they were holding people back, let alone any one person;
I said they were holding the project back. If I see on xemacs-beta
that something is holding at least a handful of people back, I'll
change my opinion about that, but in general I think individuals
should just post their problems to xemacs-beta.

Again, that's unfair. I don't claim that it's a small problem. I've
always believed that documentation is a *big* problem, despite the
fact that documentation for Emacsen is actually better in most
respects you mention that for most open source software. Have you
ever tried to find how to configure something that isn't in the
preferences dialog in Firefox, or remove only selected cached
documents? Get OpenOffice to stop trying to restore documents that
(a) were on a removably disk in the first place and (b) since have
been renamed? Do *anything* with gconf? Figure out how anything
documented via gtkdoc works internally (vs learning APIs, which gtkdoc
is quite good at supporting IME)?
As far as I can tell, *all* open source projects have the problem that
documentation is mostly useful to those who already know how things
work.
XEmacs at least has two tutorials for users (TUTORIAL and the Guided
Tour), a User Guide, a Lisp Reference, and an Internals Manual (very
incomplete, but it's still the best reference available to both XEmacs
and GNU Emacs internals).

config.guess in the source directory. This is the standard
CPU-VENDOR-OS architecture identifier used by all systems that use
configure scripts generated by autoconf.
Most modern GUI apps just use the app name and version to distinguish
their $prefix/lib subtrees, but XEmacs has historically had an
important use case where multiple versions for multiple platforms are
installed simultaneously on the same file system (perhaps mounted on
NFS), so we install into an architecture-specific directory by default.
> But I have no standard directories and list of what-gets-put-where,
Again, try the INSTALL file.
Footnotes:
[1] If they are; these days I'm inclined to accept the argument that
defaulting to the traditional Emacs keymap vs. CUA is a bug, but in
1995 it was not, and even today there are a lot of Emacs users who
believe that the Emacs keymap is more efficient than CUA, so new users
should be "encouraged" to use traditional Emacs keymaps.
[2] My best guess is that the direct M-<letter> and the menu
accelerator Alt <letter> use different letters. This is a common
problem for menu accelerator systems[5], and AFAICS it's insoluble
because we basically map everything in the Meta map, often to actions
that might take several keystrokes via menu accelerators. Meta
letters will collide with the "intuitive" initials generally used in
the accelerator system.
[3] Although writing *good* code is harder than writing good
documentation.
[4] I don't know what they actually use, and I'm doubtful that there
are defaults that would work for a majority of installations, ie,
conforming to the various vendors' policies. :-(
[5] Keystrokes used to activate, navigate, and select actions from
GUI keymaps. "Accelerator" is a poor name with confusing connotations.

Fwd: Re: symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths
13 years, 1 month

Thank you for your reply. Stephen.
Documentation is important to me. When suggesting that we do something
about the documentation, I'm willing to be a part of fixing it and I am
keeping a list of boulders in the road that I experience so when I get
past them I can leave a sign
for the next guy.
I am willing to be a part of fixing the documentation. But I can only
fix documentation on the (few) things I have explored so far and if I
tried to fix other documentation I would surely get it wrong in some
point and create the problem
I am trying to solve.
I hadn't realized there are 16 variations/configuration decisions of
where things get installed. I started making the ascii chart (that I
was wishing I had in my email, and did think of 4 variations). I will
still finish my chart, because I need it, but I see it will be much less
useful in general than I thought (and maybe only useful to me, at this
point).
I am happy to be told to read the manual. As long as it is specific,
instead of just to read the whole thing. Or if the relevant info is on
a web page, point me to it, please!
Looking back, I probably should have chosen different examples of
documentation that I stumble over. Those were just some that came to
mind in my moment of frustration and were true examples but probably not
the best or clearest ones.
The example of the sumo tarball misunderstanding was just something that
was on my mind because I got the wrong idea a few years a ago from
reading the documentation and only that day I wrote the email figured
out the truth of it. It was from reading the (old?) documentation that
I got the original idea in my head, which was corrected by reading your
email that I quoted yesterday, after I went and looked
at that specific question.
I think you are right about the timing of my example of the wrong Idea I
had for
sumo tarballs. I have the timing wrong in some way there. At one
point on that system I discovered that I had the documentation that I
downloaded from who knows
where and was old when I downloaded it. That may be where I got the
timing wrong, but it is wrong in some way. Sorry. Badly chosen example.
When I said I was looking for variable name help in 2 places "by
different keystrokes" I was referring to the command line help C-h v to
get variable help vs the menu [help][commands, variables, keys][describe
variable] which lists M-? v as the command to do the same thing (but I
wasn't sure it was the same thing after experiencing 3 ways to command
printing that are not the same thing). At the time I didn't have XEmacs
open and didn't want to be too specific without checking and listing the
keystrokes from the menu.
I am glad I suggested 2 new categories of documentation, or I would not
have heard of Phil Sung's Guided Tour. I'm going to look it up as soon
as I get 21.5 up again.
I am encouraged to hear someone else had a problem with getting a valid
ssh key accepted. Being new to open source projects, I just figure it
is me or what I'm doing/not doing when I come across problems like the
ssh key being invalid.

I'd like to venture an opinion; I think the choice that shows XEmacs to
be the superior editor in this case is not to "encourage" traditional
XEmacs keymaps, but to have the position that XEmacs is so powerful an
editor that we have many ways to let you work:
--we have an excellent Emacs keymap, it is the default--try it
--you like CUA? XEmacs can do that too, and it is on the menu.
--and we will let you make your own! Here's how...
Make your own is what I eventually did. Making my own is possible
because XEmacs is *so powerful* that I can adapt it to the way I want to
work (which is a moving target as I learn new ways of working).
A person trying out XEmacs might find there are so many of these new
(better) features presented at once that it is daunting, and all the
"encouragements" to use new ideas/ways of working may keep the new
person from answering the question "is this an editor that I can work
with?" with a "yes".
Same with the kill-ring. I see that it has advantages in some
situations, but XEmacs
doesn't "know better" and force me to use it. Because XEmacs is *so
powerful* I can implement a menu+icon bar system for multiple copy/paste
operations. I don't have to use the kill ring if that is not the way I
want to work.
Sometimes there is a delay between presentation of an idea and embracing it.
I am saying that making strange (as in not-familiar) defaults which are
arguably more powerful (and better), may showcase different ideas about
how to work, but if it doesn't _also_ have a familiar way to work, they
may not stick around long enough for the idea to take root that the new
way is better.
You do risk them never choosing to learn/use the new, better features of
XEmacs, but that is part of having a programmable, configurable editor,
eh? That everybody chooses to use it a different way?

No, *you* won't see any problems with it. The problems are entirely a
matter of style and clean internal APIs. I think it was Aidan (or
maybe Ben) who deliberately changed that particular API in a backward
incompatible way. I *know* that that implementation is going to
change radically in the future (it depends on Mule charsets, which
will eventually be reimplemented in terms of Unicode code point
blocks), so I really don't want to be bound to maintain any more
backward compatibility in that area than absolutely necessary.

OK, I'll work something up for x-symbol and get it committed.

Sorry I disappeared for a few months, but I'm back working on Gtk.
I just updated the code to use pango_itemize, which should handle RTL
languages better. The characters seem to be in the right order but
the words are not. XEmacs-gtk display now matches gedit for Arabic
and Persian. They don't match FSF emacs display, but I think the
pango is correct. (Firefox and IE agree with pango)
Editing RTL is wrong, just moving the cursor through the string makes
the characters dance.

The thing is, we already have working RTL on TTYs! Input and display are
grosso modo there already on mlterm and PuTTY. Getting things working on a
GUI should be *easier*, especially with Pango, Uniscribe and the OS X
analogue available.

Nope. Under GTK it eliminates splitting input text based on character set
entirely, leaving coverage and font decisions to Pango.
Note that the patch in its current state is architecturally unclean,
otherwise I would have committed it (including non-GTK-specific changes to
the trunk ) back when we had this discussion with Behdad initially.

They are, as far as I can see.

No. It’s just about possible that Stephen Turnbull, and only Stephen
Turnbull, has configured his TTY XEmacs to use different TTY fonts for
different character sets, but XEmacs is not configured to do that by
default, and I’m sure no-one else has.
