Sorry for that. Stephen moved the debugger configuration files to etc/ in 2006, AFAICS has the generation of .dbxrc not worked since then. Ben moved .gdbinit back to /src in 2010. I suggest to move .dbxrc back to src/ as well, if nobody objects (especially Stephen, who moved it in the first place). # HG changeset patch # User Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; # Date 1321901164 -3600 # Node ID 3e5d5e8e4bb7fd0b9f176f35196523fc089bd975 # Parent 80aed35416d771ea6b5e09cbcf3ec92e1b8429cc Move etc/dbxrc.in to src/.dbxrc.in. 2011-11-21 Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; * .hgignore: * configure.ac: Reflect move of etc/dbxrc.in to src/.dbxrc.in. * configure: Regenerate. 2011-11-21 Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; * dbxrc.in: Move to src/.dbxrc.in. 2011-11-21 Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; * .dbxrc.in: Move from etc/.dbxrc.in. diff --git a/.hgignore b/.hgignore --- a/.hgignore +++ b/.hgignore ＠＠ -31,7 +31,8 ＠＠ ^modules/ldap/eldap_i\.c$ ^(xemacs|mule)-packages ^etc/PROBLEMS$ -^src/(.dbxrc|.gdbinit)(\.in)?$ +^src/\.dbxrc$ +^src/\.gdbinit(\.in)?$ ^src/(GNUmakefile|Makefile(\.in)?)$ ^src/NEEDTODUMP$ ^src/config\.h$ diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog ＠＠ -1,3 +1,10 ＠＠ +2011-11-21 Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; + + * .hgignore: + * configure.ac: + Reflect move of etc/dbxrc.in to src/.dbxrc.in. + * configure: Regenerate. + 2011-11-21 Marcus Crestani <crestani(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; * configure: Regenerate with Autoconf 2.68.

Marcus Crestani writes: Did I? I normally don't touch magic I don't understand. ISTR that Jerry did that as part of the .gdbinit.in.in work. No "objection" from me, but if it was Jerry, you should see if he had a plausible rationale. I do think that ./etc is a better place for those, even if they're almost always used from ./src. Many Linux distros provide debug information (in optional packages) nowadays, so even a binary install can use those functions. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
