I am reading this thread with great interest as I am thinking of getting
a n810. But the price is a bit high at the moment.

I can only assume that you are editing the script to put org-mode in a
system directory ?  In that case you will either need to run it as root,
or at least make sure you own the lowest level directory in the ORGDIR
variable.  The line from the manual just means that if you are trying to
create 

   /usr/share/emacs/lisp/org

and only /usr/share exists at at that time (usually owned by root) then
the command will fail as you can't write into the direcory.

You could solve this by doing something like this (as root):

mkdir /usr/src/emacs
chown YOURNAMEHERE /usr/src/emacs

Then set 
 DIR=/usr/src/emacs/lisp
and you should be set.

Personally I like to keep my lisp files in my home directory.

Doh!  I wish I'd thought of that!  My only excuse is that my fingers
have certain UNIX commands pre-programmed into them - anytime I use tar
I invariably add the 'v' flag (been doing that for 20 years), and made
the task more complex!

I have uploaded a new version here:

It depends on the keyboard. Some wired keyboards will work out of the
box. I personally use a logitech wireless keyboard (non-blue tooth). I
plug in the transceiver to the N800 and it works without any extra
power. The keyboard has its own batteries. Others have reported
success with small USB keyboards.

It is very useful for remember, even with the virtual keyboard, and to
browse files. It is better, IMO, than its own file editors.

In that case you need to compile it with X support. When I compiled

 Adam> Interesting!  Do you have any more details on the kind of extra support?

No idea. Just one comment in the maemo users mailing list. But without
Ctrl- support in the virtual keyboard it will be difficult to
use. 

perhaps the solution for us (n800 users) is to hack the keyboard and
add ctrl.

I am not sure how file system is distributed in the 810. in the 800
the internal memory is used for root, and /media/mmc2 is the internal
card.

http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/local.tar.gz

Unpack in user home directory, then symlink /usr/local to it. It
contains emacs-nox. Make sure you rename the original /usr/local so
you don't lose it (I think it is empty out-of-the box). You need to
install ncurses-base and ncurses-term

AFAIK the Apple BT keyboard, is a standard BT HID device. I tested it
myself against my cell phone. I also tested that weird laser keyboard,
but it requires some setup-configuration to work properly and AFAIK
the config client is windows only. I have a thinkoutside BT HID
profile keyboard and it works fine with my n800. I even have a
nonstandard 'freedom' BT keyboard, but i saw that it can be added with
some mucking about in xmodmap i think.

A 'real' USB keyboard could be added, you need to flip the usb into
host mode - which can be done in debug mode. The problem is it needs
to be externally powered. The n800 does not have the USB power line
connected - probably because it was designed as a client device.

I would be interested in playing with emacs and org on an n800 as
well, but without a keyboard, i just don't see it being any use.

It does.  I haven't figured out how to get  or  on it yet,

Ah, drat :-( I didn't think of that.  Of course, org-mouse.el won't
work with emacs-nox.  But judging by your org-mode screenshot 

  http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/emacsOrgN800full.jpg

you seem to know how to configure the xterm application to feed more
complex macros such as C-x.  How did you set this up and is it
documented anywhere?

The N810 only has one external slot, but it does have a built-in 2GB
card.  I'd be pretty worried if emacs couldn't fit in that!  But I

I can't miss what I have never had ;) The stylus is ok with Ctrl

difficult to issue Ctrl- commands (they require an extra tap). I might

With respect to the virtual keyboard, it lacks ,  and

Well, it depends on how much money you are willing to spend. The N800

Check maemo.org (look for SDK). You need a linux computer (preferable
running debian). You have to download around 0.5 gigs of packages but
it is relatively straightforward. There is a good tutorial on how to
do it.

Now that the N810 has a physical keyboard more people will be inclined
to run emacs on it. I personally run it only for remember and when
connecting remotely into it. 

On the other hand I have read that emacs23 has support for this type
of devices, but I have not compiled it yet.

The 2008 apps are still being few and scarce. For that reason I have
set up a dual boot in my N800.

One more issue. You won't have space in the internal memory to install
it. You need to format a card using ext2, and then mount it (internal
or external) and symlink to it. Alternatively you can install the OS
in an external card and boot into it (my preferred choice).

If you take the time to read the docmentation string of that variable,
it points you to another one: `org-tags-match-list-sublevels'.

This is the one you need.

I am not sure an option is the right thing here, because it will continue to
remain difficult to figure out where to put the boundaries.

The best might be to look *before* a heading and see how many empty
lines there are, and then include up to that many lines below the subtree.
It seems to me that this might get quite close to the right behavior,
but I am sure there will be cases where also this idea will not work
correctly.

[Orgmode] update-org script

2007-12-12 Thread Harald Weis
The "shell script to simplify upgrading to the newest release"
as found on the home page under the Downloads section,
does no longer work as far as I understand.

Most important first: the script should read:

# get the tar file
# [must be a generic name, not a versioned one like org-5.16b.tar.gz]
#wget http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org.tar.gz
wget http://orgmode.org/org.tar.gz

Obviously, the name of the tar ball must get changed.
 
Then:

# directory where the org directory is located
dir=emacs/lisp
DIR=$HOME/$dir 

# make sure we have the lisp dir
# note that 'mkdir -p $DIR' would not work
# mkdir(1): "The user must have write permission in the parent directory."
mkdir -p $dir

Finally, I suggest a simpler ORGVER line, the argument to ``-f''
is apparently system dependent, in my case it must read ``-f9'':

# what is the new directory name?
# (yes I could use awk, but I can write this line faster than I could 
# check out the man page)
#ORGVER=`tar tvf $TMPTAR | head -1 | sed 's/  */ /g' | cut -d' ' -f6`
ORGVER=`tar tf $TMPTAR | head -1`

It would be nice if the author of the script and
Dominik Carsten could comment.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Orgmode] Tag inheritance

2007-12-12 Thread Eddward DeVilla
Carl,

There are gurus who might be able to provide a better answer, but
when I need to set option for org-mode (or when I want to explore what
is available) I use the menu "Org->Customize->Browse Org Group".  It's
been a while since I've done that and it looks like
"Org->Customize->Expand This Menu" is pretty nifty.  I may have the
name wrong, since it changes after you select it, but the expanded
customize menu looks very nice.

[Orgmode] Tag inheritance

2007-12-12 Thread Carl Bolduc
HI everyone,

I saw the demo of OmniFocus today and I decided to create a similar
setup using Org-Mode in Emacs.

The only thing that is left to setup is tag inheritance.

At the moment, if I set a tag only for the main heading of a section,
its subheading don't show up when I search for the tag. I would like
the subheading to show up when I search for a tag...

The documentation says:
...you can influence inheritance and searching using the variables
org-use-tag-inheritance and org-tags-match-list-sublevels

I'm still new to Org and Emacs, can someone help me setup those variables?

Thanks!
Carl

[Orgmode] org-store-link with wanderlust

2007-12-12 Thread Hans Halvorson
When I try 'M-x org-store-link' in the wanderlust summary buffer, I
get an error (have tried with many messages).  For example:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid address: (Brad Pitt
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)")
  signal(error ("Invalid address: (Brad Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)"))
  error("Invalid address: %s" ("Brad Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"))
  mail-extract-address-components(("Brad Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"))
  org-store-link-props(:type "wl" :from "Jolie, Angelina" :to ("Brad
Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>") :subject "RE: u r hot" :message-id
"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")
  org-store-link(nil)
  call-interactively(org-store-link)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

The address reported in the backtrace has, of course, been changed ...
but it is structurally original to the original valid address.

Thanks,
Hans

Yes.  Considering an option like:

(setq org-allow-blank-lines   ;; or org-allow-max-blank-lines
 '((org-level-1 . 2)
   (org-level-2 . 1)
   (list-item   . 1)
   (t . delete)) 

The rule for handling trailing blank lines would be as follow : when
moving/cutting a subtree of level N, only allow a definite number of
trailing blank lines (L_n).  If there is more than L_n lines, try to
decide whether these additional blank lines are part of the subtree
above... etc.  If blank lines cannot be attached to a subtree, either
delete them, or reject them at the end of the subtree.

Not sure how this could be implemented, but I just wanted to clarify
what I had in mind.

Something like that might be good -- for my use a single blank line is
part of the entry, the second one is not, ever.  So, for me, a simple
rule.

Also, to me, it seems that since org-mode explicitly takes multiple
blank lines into account in the folding process -- it displays
whitespace -- it considers them to be "special" as well.


That said, I have my answer: there is no easy way to make this work the
way I think about outlines and whitespace, so I should dig in the
code.[1]

Regards,
Daniel

Footnotes: 
[1]  Well, hope that one of the developers takes pity on me for the next
