[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-20 13:19:56 by youngs] 2003-03-20 Steve Youngs <youngs@xemacs.org> * menubar-items.el (default-menubar): Add a "Pre-Release Download Sites" submenu to "Tools -> Packages" menu. Filter the package download sites menus through `menu-split-long-menu'. * obsolete.el (pui-add-install-directory): New. (package-get-download-menu): New. * package-admin.el: (package-admin-add-single-file-package): Removed. (package-admin-get-install-dir): Don't rely on an installed xemacs-base package to guess where a package needs to be installed to. (package-admin-get-manifest-file): Whitespace clean up. (package-admin-check-manifest): Use `directory-sep-char' to compute regexp. Only search 'lisp' and 'man' directories to determine package name. Don't error is xemacs-base package isn't installed, just don't sort the MANIFEST file and issue a warning. (package-admin-add-binary-package): Whitespace clean up. (package-admin-get-lispdir): Ditto. (package-admin-delete-binary-package): Use `with-temp-buffer' instead of creating a temporary buffer manually. * package-get.el: (package-get-remote): Change custom type so that only either a single directory or remote host:directory can be selected. (package-get-download-sites): Put the sites into alphabetical order of country. Make the description element be "Country (site)" instead of the other way around. (package-get-pre-release-download-sites): New. (package-get-require-signed-base-updates): Default to t. (package-get-download-menu): Removed. (package-get-locate-file): Change to reflect new format of 'package-get-remote'. (package-get-update-base-from-buffer): Whitespace clean up and remove an unneccessary 'when'. (package-get-interactive-package-query): Whitespace clean up. (package-get-update-all): Ditto. (package-get-all): Ditto. (package-get-init-package): Ditto. (package-get-info): New. (package-get): Bring into line with new format of 'package-get-remote'. Error if non-Mule XEmacsen try to install Mule packages. Don't rely on a Mule package having 'mule-base' in its "REQUIRES" to determine if it is a Mule package or not, instead we test "CATEGORY". Better handling of the situation where a partial package tarball exists on the local hard drive from a previous interupted download. Clean up after a failed package install. (package-get-set-version-prop): Removed. (package-get-installedp): Whitespace clean up. * package-ui.el: Whitespace clean up. (pui-info-buffer): Make it a defcustom. (pui-directory-exists): Removed. (pui-package-dir-list): Removed. (pui-add-install-directory): Removed. (package-ui-download-menu): New. (package-ui-pre-release-download-menu): New. (pui-set-local-package-get-directory): New. (pui-package-symbol-char): Whitespace clean up. (pui-update-package-display): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-key): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-delete): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-delete-key): Ditto. (pui-toggle-package-event): Ditto. (pui-toggle-verbosity-redisplay): Ditto. (pui-install-selected-packages): Ditto. (pui-help-echo): Ditto. (pui-display-info): Ditto. (pui-list-packages): Ditto. * packages.el: Whitespace clean up.

51 This version of gnuserv has been enhanced by a number of people, including

52 Bob Weiner <weiner@mot.com>, Darrell Kindred <dkindred@cmu.edu>,
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

53 Arup Mukherjee <arup@cmu.edu>, and Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>. The
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

54 modifications are basically as follows:

57
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

58 Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
59 from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
60 restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
61 added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
62 a buffer after the user is done with it. Mods to each of the .c
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

67 Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

68 a gnudoit request, for the purposes of unix/internet sockets.
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
69 Allow the gnudoit request to be read from stdin if it's not
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
70 specified on the command line. Internet sockets are not opened
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
71 unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
72 created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
73 variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
74 socket accepting local connections is not opened by default
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
75 because this would make it possibly to override all security on
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
76 the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
77 otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

78 try to open a unix socket by default if support for them was
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

83 a gnudoit request, for the purposes of sysv ipc. Added support
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
84 for the "gnuserv-frame" variable allowing you to specify control
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

85 whether or not new screens are created in response to each
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

86 gnuclient request. Made a number of other bugfixes and changes to
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
87 the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
88 newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
89 at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
90 reflect the new gnuserv features. On HPs, stopped the "-r"
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
91 parameter (in gnuclient) from defaulting to /net/<remotehost>.
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
92 Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
93 when things stop working. Changed the man page to reflect this.
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

96 More recently - added Xauth(1X11)-style authentication to gnuserv (as
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

97 of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
98 due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a
