2005-07-02 Thread Richard M. Stallman
Could someone please look at this? If he's right, it would seem that flymake mode should not work at all. But people seem to be using it, and reporting smaller bugs. --- Start of forwarded message --- Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 15:10:35 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.

Re: COPYING files have old address for FSF

2005-07-02 Thread Richard M. Stallman
All files in the Emacs distribution have the old address. I think we should update before the release. Shall I add that task to FOR-RELEASE? Yes. In fact, could you possibly make the change? Using a script to do the edits would make it a short job.

I am trying to use dolist in the function below. When I comment out the line marked below I only get the first det from detlst. What is wrong? Is dolist a no-no? Or is this a bug? (defun instpack-check-pack-list() (message "Checking package list detail names...") (dolist (pack instpack-packa

Some error info from configure.bat please

2005-07-02 Thread Lennart Borgman
Could configure.bat provide some info when something goes wrong? It is enough to set an environment variable (configureerr?) to 1 for example. This would make it much easier to do supply working command files for automatic building of Emacs under w32.

FWIW, Fedora core 2 works OK with this change. Does that mean we can delete the other PROBLEMS item? (The one about exec_shield, that is.) The exec-shield workaround kicks in if the difference between the end of the data section and the start of the heap is greater than MAX_HEAP_BSS_D
