potential bug in start-process-internal
11 years, 8 months

Hi everyone:
using xdg-mime I set my applications to eog for images of png type and
gnuclient for text plain type.
I test them using xdg-open from xemacs shell and it works fine
then from a program I'm writing, I call start-process on some example
files. The text file still works
but the png file does nothing.
I've traced the problem down to start-process-internal.
so basically:
(start-process-internal "view" "*scratch*" "gvfs-open" "myfile.png") ---
does nothing, but "myfile.txt" works.
As an aside, when displaying the text file, at the top of the frame, there
is a blue "Done" button, but when I hit it, it kills ALL my gnuclient
frames rather than just the one displaying the file. It would be nice if
it would kill that frame only. It does seem to kill the buffer correctly.
Thanks in advance,
-Kevin

Difficult to decipher error message
11 years, 8 months
Alan Mackenzie

Hi, XEmacs.
I've just built XEmacs 21.4.22, having run this ./configure:
./configure --with-tiff=no --with-png=no --with-gpm
'--package-path=~/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages.150313.elc'
--with-mule
. I start xemacs -q -no-site-file and after typing an arrow key (to get
rid of the "guided tour") I immediately get this error message:
(1) (warning/warning) Autoload error in:
/home/acm/emacs/xemacs.hg/xemacs-packages.150313.elc/xemacs-packages/lisp/easypg/auto-autoloads:
Loading this file requires xemacs, (null (function-max-args 'throw))
. In what sense do I not already have xemacs, and what is the missing
conjunction which would give sense to the sexp "(null (function-max-args
'throw))" in the second part of the sentence? This is not one of
XEmacs's better error messages.

Mats,
Maybe you have done this already,
but does it stay the same with both different sizes of the same font
(12,14,16,18,29, etc)?
And does it change if you try different fonts?
I'm not suggesting the fonts are the problem,
just trying to characterize the error more.

XEmacs in Google Summer of Code?
11 years, 8 months
Stephen J. Turnbull
Stephen J. Turnbull
Hi, XEmacsers
Applications for mentoring organizations in Google Summer of Code are
open. I am interested in mentoring students working on XEmacs, and
would like to apply for XEmacs as an organization.
Dealing with this is pretty urgent, as applications close on March 29
at 19:00 UTC.
I need at least two, preferably three, positive and definite responses
on the organization administrator and backup mentors (see 1 and 3
below) to go forward. (If we can't scratch together three people for
backups in addition to a primary admin/mentor, we're hardly an
organization!)
In order to apply as an organization, we need a few things, as
follows:
1. An organization administrator or backup administrator. The duties
are fairly light, and I am willing to serve in one role or the
other. I would prefer being backup, as there's a potential
conflict of interest (I want to mentor, and the administrator is
the first arbitrator in student-mentor conflicts).
2. One mentor per planned slot. Unless there's an amazing outpouring
of support for the idea, I would guess 1, maybe 2 slots are all we
can handle. Since I would like to mentor, we don't necessarily
need another primary mentor volunteer. Also, co-mentoring is
possible. N.B. Mentors need to provide contact information (email
and phone, and IRC is a common medium for remote mentoring).
3. Two or three backup mentors in case a primary mentor becomes
unavailable for some reason. The reason for planning for excess
redundancy now is to allow some flexibility in that unlikely event,
and because it would allow us to take on one more student than
planned if there's a really good opportunity.
4. An ideas page. I propose to grab some of the stuff from Ben's
Architecting XEmacs and Jamie's wish list, but I'd like review as
to the size of projects in the list so we can strike off projects
that are too big or too small (the Ideas Page is one of the primary
resources for evaluation as a GSoC mentoring organization, so it
should match GSoC well). A GSoC project needs to be pretty
substantial: the student is expected to put in about 400 hours in
the summer.
There are some other administrative details in the application, but I
can handle those.
Let me know if you're willing to help as soon as possible!
Steve

xft and underscores getting worse!?
11 years, 8 months
The XEmacs Package Smoketest
The XEmacs Package Smoketest
Hi,
Since some months it seems like the problems with xft fonts and
underscores are getting worse. As I get it there are some display
problems with xft, that we have debated as whether they are major or
minor.
I have up till now considered them as minor compared to the other
benefits of xft fonts. What I can see since a few months is that
underscores are normally not visible at all. Redraw of the screen will
not help. Could it be something with new version of X or new font
definitions or have we changed something that could cause this?
Yours
--
%% Mats
