GPLv3|L8R -- Status report - ready for inspection? 6 years

Mats Lidell

Hi, Here comes yet another status report from the project of converting to GPLv3 or later. There are two lists of files below. The first list contains all files that are in an undecided state. Please inspect: Do we need to do anything with them. If so what? The second list contains all files that we can leave untouched and the reason for that. Please inspect: Are all reasons OK and correct? Are we getting close to the were an inspection of the xemacs-gplv3 repository could be performed? With the intent that it that is OK we could merge back to trunk and go GPLv3 or later? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "CHANGES-beta" "ChangeLog" "PROBLEMS" "README" "README.GPLv3" "etc/ChangeLog" "etc/Emacs.ad" "etc/InstallGuide" "etc/NEWS" "etc/ONEWS" "etc/OONEWS" "etc/README" "etc/editclient.sh" "etc/emacskeys.sco" "etc/emacsstrs.sco" "etc/gtkrc" "etc/package-index.LATEST.gpg" "etc/sample.Xresources" "etc/xemacs.1" "lib-src/ChangeLog" "lib-src/README" "lisp/ChangeLog" "lisp/README" "lisp/mule/mule-locale.txt" "man/ChangeLog" "man/README" "modules/ChangeLog" "modules/base64/Makefile" "modules/common/configure-post.ac" "modules/common/configure-pre.ac" "modules/zlib/Makefile" "nt/ChangeLog" "nt/Emacs.ad.h" "nt/Installation.el" "nt/README" "nt/Win32.cf" "nt/lisp.ico" "nt/site.def" "nt/xemacs.dsp" "nt/xemacs.dsw" "src/ChangeLog" "src/README" "src/README.kkcc" "src/m/README" "src/s/README" "src/s/freebsd.h" "src/s/irix6-0.h" "src/s/netbsd.h" "src/s/sol2.h" "tests/ChangeLog" "tests/Dnd/README" "tests/automated/README" "version.sh.in" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These files below are the files that we might be able to leave as they are.

Thanks, that helps a lot -- as I say, the code is quite similar so that any difference there may be the cause. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Re: XEMACS VHDL-Mode package 7 years, 7 months

Vin Shelton

Hi, Ira - (Copying XEmacs developers; others may well know more than I do - please "reply all" if you have further comments.) I vaguely recall some kind of parsing error for HOME directories containing spaces and I think this has been fixed. I recommend taht you try this setup kit: http://ftp.xemacs.org/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.24.exe instead of 21.4.22.

coding problems: messy file 7 years, 7 months

Uwe Brauer

Hello I have a file which contains a mixture of different codings. Between chars such as á (which make sense in latin-1 or in UTF8) I have also chars which look like á but are in green and C-x = tells me: Char: � (U+2000E1 jit-ucs-charset-0 35 48) point=59745 of 2307860(3%) column 53 So how can I change all the chars to á and then save them either in UTF8 or latin-1. thanks Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

Re: hg log | git log xemacs hg support 7 years, 7 months

The XEmacs Package Smoketest

Sorry if I was a bit unclear. As Mike points out this is its own interface towards mercurial. So it is different but I think it does its job but I guess I'm biased. I think with git and mercurial the command prompt is a better alternative than what I have seen in many IDEs ;-) So if you feel adventurous you need to read some info about its use. Try: (find-library "mercurial") and read how to get started.

hg log | git log xemacs hg support 7 years, 7 months

Uwe Brauer

Hello I just cloned the hg xemacs rep. When I open say abbrev.el in the lisp directory vc-print-log tells me that the file is *not* under version control! When I open it with GNU emacs it seems to recognise that the file is under version control. However vc-print-log only prints the commit message, but *not* the relevant entry of the ChangeLog entry. That seems to be a problem of hg git log shows both entries Can somebody confirm this please.

Broken w3 subrepo? 7 years, 8 months

Jerry James

I did an hg pull on the packages to get yesterday's gnus prerelease, and got nothing, and hg log showed a last top-level update from a couple of weeks ago: changeset: 1137:3720091d7106 tag: tip user: Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org> date: Sat Sep 19 00:35:08 2015 +0200 summary: pre-release gnus I thought that maybe the recent trouble with the top-level had something to do with it, so I did a fresh hg clone of the package repository. Mercurial reported success, but several subrepositories are missing: xemacs-packages/ xemacs-base xemacs-devel xetla xlib xslide xslt-process x-symbol xwem zenirc In short, all subrepos that lie alphabetically after w3 did not get checked out. I thought maybe running hg update would fetch the rest: resolving manifests getting .hgignore getting .hgsub getting .hgtags getting ChangeLog getting INSTALL getting Local.rules.inc getting Local.rules.mk getting Local.rules.template getting MAINTAINERS getting Makefile getting NEWS.packages getting Version.rules getting XEmacs.rules getting find-macro-err.awk getting gen-macro-list.awk getting hack-package-index.el getting iterate-1.rules getting iterate.rules getting meta-iterate.rules getting meta-targets.rules getting mule-packages/Makefile getting package-clean.el getting package-compile.el getting package-net-packages.el getting xemacs-packages/Makefile resolving manifests images/open-cap-up.xbm: untracked file differs abort: untracked files in working directory differ from files in requested revision (in subrepo xemacs-packages/w3) This is from a fresh hg clone; I have not touched anything inside the w3 subrepo, or any other subrepo for that matter. Also, after running hg update, I get this: $ hg status M .hgsubstate And hg diff shows the entire contents of .hgsubstate as being added. Indeed, running "hg revert .hgsubstate" erases .hgsubstate! Is anybody else seeing this? -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
