Sorry, I'm lost. What do you want to tell me?

`tramp-default-method' must have set "plink", and not a full path
name. If the program plink.exe is not found, %PATH% must be adapted
accordingly.

Best regards, Michael.

bug#1058: 23.0.60; emacs --daemon should not return until socket is ready

2008-10-06T13:59:36Z

Romain Francoise <romain@...> writes:

Here's a version based on your code that also moves detaching from the
terminal later. emacs --daemon && emacsclient -c works.
Errors in ~/.emacs show up in the *Messages* buffer (as they do when
starting up normally).
Only lightly tested. Looking at the patch again, I there aren't any new
features here, so it can go in as a bug fix.

Re: non-ascii characters in file names

2008-10-06T13:38:05Z

it worked fine thank you.

two more minor problems (don' want to bother you, so i'll understand
if you have better things to do)

with this version i can not make a style to stick as described in

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/AquamacsFAQ#toc17

when running a shell from within Aquamacs (M-x shell),
a directory listing (ls -l) won't show properly file names with
non-ASCII characters

below i've pasted my env variables in case that helps.

thank you very much

Can you please try to see if you can reproduce the problem with emacs
from CVS ?
Get it from CVS, and then do:
./configure && make
and run src/emacs

What is the while loop supposed to do? I tested just that and I got a
bit weird results.

This broke when SYNC_INPUT became the default; it works when Emacs is
recompiled without SYNC_INPUT, like Emacs 22.

I don't know what the specific cause of failure is, however. Maybe the
SYNC_INPUT code should only be active when Emacs is run interactively.

Thoughts?

Re: non-ascii characters in file names

2008-10-06T11:20:11Z

OK, I am unable to reproduce with the current Aquamacs CVS version.
Could you please download a nightly build and try it with that?
If the error still occurs, please use the "Start without
customizations" and, then, the "Report Bug" function (after verifying
the error) so that I can see startup and error messages.

Thank you for reporting this.

Perhaps (dunno) it's related to bug #117?
But that predates June.

Some people frown at putting your own stuff in .emacs.d. Personally I
put everything in there and have never had a problem. ~/.emacs is now ~/.emacs.d/init.el. I also now
have ~/.emacs.d/.gnus.d/init.el for Gnus handling. Make it a lot cleaner
to sync with other computers.

Check the configure options. Launch GNU Emacs in some terminal
emulation and read about these options and the background.

It's faster to check the configure options of your elder GNU Emacs
version and apply these to your new build.

Re: Problem with eshell

Why? Can't you use the cvs programme to update the source code (M-x
cvs-up RET)? And which Linux variant is the package?

Launching GNU Emacs with -Q and then typing M-x eshell RET to invoke
the ls command finally produces no failure in Mac OS X 10.4.11 with
Athena/Xaw3d or in Aqua/GNUStep clothes.

Is your disk OK or has it some self-modifying active sectors? Can you
you launch GNU Emacs from a shell with minimal environment and LANG/
LC_* set to a minimal C? IMO your GNU Linux system is defective – or
do you have some "customisation" file/RC file for eshell? Eshell,
term, or shell always load their RC files since they're loading an
external shell interpreter. I prefer to use *shell* and in it tcsh,
so when I launch GNU Emacs with -Q and then start the *shell* buffer/
process it at once loads ~/.emacs_tcsh. And tcsh *obviously* load its
RC files since I have aliases!

I was going to ask if my GNUstep installation could be messed up somehow...

Disclosure: my GNUstep.conf file is not in /etc, so I patched
configure to accept a path to GNUstep.conf. I haven't submitted that
yet since I don't know if am doing the right thing. But I don't see
that it would make a difference to this.

Mh, you shouldn't paste it in this file. Paste it in the scratch buffer
, eval* it and make emacs save the abbrevs (e.g. by C-x s). Now you
can delete the code.

There is an introduction to elisp for non-programmers in the info files.

(info "(eintr)")

No, but maybe a command is more convenient. Note
the updated function.

(defun define-literal-abbrev (table name expansion &optional count system-flag)
(define-abbrev table (downcase name) 'literal-abbrev
`(lambda ()

bug#1085: 23.0.60; all-completions, try-completion inconsistent: Info-read-node-name-1

Yes. It is true almost all of the time, but not all of the time.

I think it is false for some cases where it could be made true.

Agreed.

In passing: The `boundary' thingy needs to be documented. It is not obvious how
to use it or how it works.

> second list,

No, not necessarily. I only want `try-completion', `all-completions' and
`test-completion' to be on the same page, in the sense of the invariants I
mentioned.

I believe it should be possible for the functions that perform completion to
DTRT even for cases like file-name completion, so that the user's input
corresponds to the candidates in *Completions* and to `all-completions' and
`try-completion'.

I'm not sure how that should best be done, but I think it should be possible to
take care of the directory part without it becoming part of each completion
candidate. That's kind of what we do now anyway. Perhaps you have an idea about
how to do it?

Consistency. Ability to manipulate or reason about completion code and treat it
in a general manner. See next.

Can you explain a bit how to do that?
Will that enable respect of the invariants I mentioned?

That's OK. What I'm thinking of is having both `all-completions' and
*Completions* display, say, relative file names, as now, and having
`try-completion' also use and return a relative file name, but have them all
somehow deal with the directory. The directory can be passed separately, no?

I'm not claiming a simple, immediate solution. I'm asking you to think about it.

I don't see it as such good use. To me it is a bug. I sent a fix.

Argument `code' = t in the source code (and in the fix I sent).

No, admittedly it is not directly related.

The question at hand is how to handle completion of just the Info file-name
part, e.g. `(emacs-mime)'. To me, the user's input should match what s?he sees
in *Completions* (with parens), and they should both reflect both
`all-completions' and `try-completion'.

> > (mapcar (lambda (file) (concat "(" file ")")) ctwc))

> That's not correct when completing "(/usr/shar".

Is that possible? Could you elaborate? What should the code do here?

I don't claim that the fix I sent is 100%. It seems to DTRT, but it might
require some tweaking.

In any case, the `all-completions' part of the current code is currently broken
and requires some fix. It doesn't make sense for input of `(emacs)' with CODE =
t to return nil (no completions). `all-completions' should be able to return the
complete set of file-name completions in that case. IOW, (Info-read-node-name-1
"(emacs)" nil t) should not return nil, meaning no completions - it should
return the list of all completions, ("(emacs)"), just as (Info-read-node-name-1
"(emacs)" nil nil) returns "(emacs)".

Could you maybe explain some of your thoughts on it? Share some of your internal
head-banging behind the design and implementation? I don't doubt that you've
thought it over - how about sharing some of the thoughts and considerations?

foreground-color, background-color, and font frame parameters

2008-10-06T09:46:29Z

Hi,

With the following ~/.emacs (and only these lines):

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
(setq initial-frame-alist
'((foreground-color . "white") (background-color . "black")
(font . "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-13"))
default-frame-alist
'((foreground-color . "white") (background-color . "black")
(font . "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-11")))
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

The initial frame actually takes on the default parameters, rather than
those given in initial-frame-alist. If the *-color parameters are
removed from both lists, then the different font for initial and default
frames is respected. This didn't happen before about June in CVS. Are
others seeing this problem?

Cheers,

Yes, it always seems to stop at this place. Here's `bt full' and a
debugging session. I don't see anything wrong OTOH, and am unsure about
what to look for. Stepping forward in gdb doesn't work because the
program is stopped inside `select'. Any suggestions?
