2 XEmacs Electronic Mailing Lists. Last Modified: 3-Feb-95.
3
4 XEmacs has its own mailing list and newsgroup which are distinct from
5 the FSF GNU Emacs mailing lists and newsgroups. The mailing list is:
6
7 xemacs@xemacs.org For reporting all bugs in XEmacs, including bugs
8 in the compilation and installation procedures.
9 Also for all random questions and conversation
10 about XEmacs.
11
12 This mailing list is bidirectionally gatewayed into the USENET newsgroup
13 comp.emacs.xemacs.
14
15 To be added or removed from this mailing list, send mail to
16 xemacs-request@xemacs.org (If it is possible for you to read the
17 messages via the newsgroup, we would prefer that; the fewer people there
18 are on the mailing list, the less trouble it is to maintain.)
19
20 Please do NOT send messages about problems with XEmacs to the FSF GNU
21 Emacs newsgroups and mailing lists (listed below) unless you are sure
22 that the problem you are reporting is a problem with both versions of
23 GNU Emacs. People who aren't subscribed to the XEmacs mailing list most
24 likely are not interested in hearing about problems with it.
25
26 The XEmacs mailing list is archived at ftp.xemacs.org in the directory
27 /pub/mlists/.
28
29 IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT:
30
31 Aside from the names of the mailing lists and newsgroups corresponding
32 to this version of Emacs, the guidelines enumerated below still apply.
33 Please read them before sending a message.

37 GNU Project Electronic Mailing Lists. Last Updated 23 Feb 94
38
39 Please report improvements to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
40
41 * GNU mailing lists are also distributed as USENET news groups
42
43 The mailing lists are gated both ways with the gnu.all newsgroups at
44 ohio-state.edu. The one-to-one correspondence is indicated below. If
45 you don't know if your site is on USENET, ask your system administrator.
46 If you are a USENET site and don't get the gnu.all newsgroups, please
47 ask your USENET administrator to get them. If he has your feeds ask
48 their feeds, you should win. And everyone else wins: newsgroups make
49 better use of the limited bandwidth of the computer networks and your
50 home machine than mailing list traffic; and staying off the mailing
51 lists make better use of the people who maintain the lists and the
52 machines that the GNU people working with rms use (i.e. we have more
53 time to produce code!!). Thanx.
54
55 * Getting the mailing lists directly
56
57 If several users at your site or local network want to read a list and
58 you aren't a USENET site, Project GNU would prefer that you would set up
59 one address that redistributes locally. This reduces overhead on our
60 people and machines, your gateway machine, and the network(s) used to
61 transport the mail from us to you.
62
63 * How to subscribe to and report bugs in mailing lists
64
65 Send messages ABOUT these lists, such as reports of mail problems, or
66 requests to be added or removed, to help-gnu-emacs-request (or
67 info-gnu-request, bug-gdb-request, etc.), NOT to info-gnu-emacs (or
68 info-gnu, etc.). These <LIST_NAME>-request addresses go only to the
69 people who can do something about your requests or problems, and thus
70 avoids disturbing everyone else.
71
72 Note that all GNU mailing lists are maintained by volunteers. They get
73 behind occasionally. Wait at least 3 or 4 days before asking again.
74 Thanks!
75
76 Many of the GNU mailing lists are very large and are received by many
77 people. Please don't send them anything that is not seriously important
78 to all their readers. All GNU mailing lists are unmoderated, mail
79 reflectors, except info-gnu, info-gnu-emacs, info-gcc, info-g++,
80 info-gnu-fortran, info-gnu-utils, info-gnu-chess and info-gnu-shogi.
81
82 All addresses below are in internet format. Consult the mail guru for
83 your computer to figure out address syntaxes from other networks. From
84 UUCP machines:
85 ..!ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!ADDRESS
86 ..!uunet!prep.ai.mit.edu!ADDRESS
87
88 If a message you mail to a list is returned from a MAILER-DAEMON (often
89 with the line:
90 ----- Transcript of session follows -----
91 don't resend the message to the list. All this return means is that
92 your original message failed to reach a few addresses on the list. Such
93 messages are NEVER a reason to resend a piece of mail a 2nd time. This
94 just bothers all (less the few delivery failures (which will probably
95 just fail again!)) of the readers of the list with a message they have
96 already seen. It also wastes computer and network resources.
97
98 It is appropriate to send these to the -request address for a list, and
99 ask them to check the problem out.
100
101 * Send Specific Requests for Information to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
102
103 Specific requests for information about obtaining GNU software, or GNU
104 activities in Cambridge and elsewhere can be directed to:
105 gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
106
107 * General Information about all lists
108
109 Please keep each message under 25,000 characters. Some mailers bounce
110 messages that are longer than this. If your message is long, it is
111 generally better to send a message offering to make the large file
112 available to only those people who want it (e.g. mailing it to people
113 who ask, or putting it up for FTP). In the case of gnu.emacs.sources,
114 somewhat larger postings (up to 10 parts of no more than 25,000
115 characters each) are acceptable (assuming they are likely to be of
116 interest to a reasonable number of people); if it is larger than that
117 have it added to archive.cis.ohio-state.edu (the GNU Emacs Lisp ftp and
118 uucp archive on and announce) its location there. Good bug reports are
119 short. See section '* General Information about bug-* lists and ...'
120 for further details.
121
122 Most of the time, when you reply to a message sent to a list, the reply
123 should not go to the list. But most mail reading programs supply, by
124 default, all the recipients of the original as recipients of the reply.
125 Make a point of deleting the list address from the header when it does
126 not belong. This prevents bothering all readers of a list, and reduces
127 network congestion.
128
129 The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself, exist
130 to promote the freedom to share software. So don't use these lists to
131 promote or recommend non-free software. (Using them to post ordering
132 information is the ultimate faux pas.) If there is no free program to
133 do a certain task, then somebody should write one!
134
135 * General Information about info-* lists
136
137 These lists and their newsgroups are meant for important announcements.
138 Since the GNU project uses software development as a means for social
139 change, the announcements may be technical or political.
140
141 Most GNU projects info-* lists (and their corresponding gnu.*.announce
142 newsgroups) are moderated to keep their content significant and
143 relevant. If you have a bug to report, send it to the bug-* list. If
144 you need help on something else and the help-* list exists, ask it.
145
146 See section '* General Information about all lists'.
147
148 * General Information about help-* lists
149
150 These lists (and their newsgroups) exist for anyone to ask questions
151 about the GNU software that the list deals with. The lists are read by
152 people who are willing to take the time to help other users.
153
154 When you answer the questions that people ask on the help-* lists, keep
155 in mind that you shouldn't answer by promoting a proprietary program as
156 a solution. The only real solutions are the ones all the readers can
157 share.
158
159 If a program crashes, or if you build it following the standard
160 procedure on a system on which it is supposed to work and it does not
161 work at all, or if an command does not behave as it is documented to
162 behave, this is a bug. Don't send bug reports to a help-* list; mail
163 them to the bug-* list instead.
164
165 See section '* General Information about all lists'.
166
167 * General Information about bug-* lists and reporting program bugs
168
169 If you think something is a bug in a program, it might be one; or, it
170 might be a misunderstanding or even a feature. Before beginning to
171 report bugs, please read the section ``Reporting Emacs Bugs'' toward the
172 end of the GNU Emacs reference manual (or node Emacs/Bugs in Emacs's
173 built-in Info system) for a discussion of how and when to send in bug
174 reports. For GNU programs other than GNU Emacs, also consult their
175 documentation for their bug reporting procedures. Always include the
176 version number of the GNU program, as well as the operating system and
177 machine the program was ran on (if the program doesn't have a version
178 number, send the date of the latest entry in the file ChangeLog). For
179 GNU Emacs bugs, type "M-x emacs-version". A debugger backtrace of any
180 core dump, can also be useful. Be careful to separate out hypothesis
181 from fact! For bugs in GNU Emacs lisp, set variable debug-on-error to
182 t, and re-enter the command(s) that cause the error message; Emacs will
183 pop up a debug buffer if something is wrong; please include a copy of
184 the buffer in your bug report. Please also try to make your bug report
185 as short as possible; distill the problem to as few lines of code and/or
186 input as possible. GNU maintainers give priority to the shortest, high
187 quality bug reports.
188
189 Please don't send in a patch without a test case to illustrate the
190 problem the patch is supposed to fix. Sometimes the patches aren't
191 correct or aren't the best way to do the job, and without a test case
192 there is no way to debug an alternate fix.
193
194 The purpose of reporting a bug is to enable the bug to be fixed for the
195 sake of the whole community of users. You may or may not receive a
196 response; the maintainers will send one if that helps them find or
197 verify a fix. Most GNU maintainers are volunteers and all are
198 overworked; they don't have time to help individuals and still fix the
199 bugs and make the improvements that everyone wants. If you want help
200 for yourself in particular, you may have to hire someone. The GNU
201 project maintains a list of people providing such services. It is
202 distributed with GNU Emacs in file etc/SERVICE, and can be requested
203 from gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
204
205 Anything addressed to the implementors and maintainers of a GNU program
206 via a bug-* list, should NOT be sent to the corresponding info-* or
207 help-* list.
208
209 Please DON'T post your bug reports on the gnu.*.bug newsgroups! Mail
210 them to bug-*@prep instead! At first sight, it seems to make no
211 difference: anything sent to one will be propagated to the other; but:
212 - if you post on the newsgroup, the information about how to
213 reach you is lost in the message that goes on the mailing list. It
214 can be very important to know how to reach you, if there is anything
215 in the bug report that we don't understand;
216 - bug reports reach the GNU maintainers quickest when they are
217 sent to the bug-* mailing list submittal address;
218 - mail is much more reliable then netnews; and
219 - if the internet mailers can't get your bug report delivered,
220 they almost always send you an error message, so you can find another
221 way to get the bug report in. When netnews fails to get your message
222 delivered to the maintainers, you'll never know about it and the
223 maintainers will never see the bug report.
224
225 And please DON'T post your GNU bug reports to comp.* or other gnu.*
226 newsgroups, they never make it to the GNU maintainers at all. Please
227 mail them to bug-*@prep instead!
228
229 See section '* General Information about all lists'.
230
231 * info-gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to info-gnu
232 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.announce
233 ** Send announcements to: info-gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
234
235 This list distributes progress reports on the GNU Project. It is also
236 used by the GNU Project to ask people for various kinds of help. It is
237 NOT for general discussion.
238
239 The list is filtered to remove items meant for info-gnu-request, that
240 can be answered by the moderator without bothering the list, or should
241 have been sent to another list.
242
243 See section '* General Information about info-* lists'.
244
245 * gnu-misc-discuss-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to gnu-misc-discuss
246 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.misc.discuss
247 ** Send contributions to: gnu-misc-discuss@prep.ai.mit.edu
248
249 This list is for serious discussion of freed software, the GNU
250 Project, the GNU Manifesto and their implications. It's THE place for
251 discussion that is not appropriate in the other GNU mailing lists and
252 gnUSENET newsgroups.
253
254 Flaming is out of place. Tit-for-tat is not welcome. Repetition
255 should not occur.
256
257 Good READING and writing are expected. Before posting, wait a while,
258 cool off, and think.
259
260 Don't use this group for complaints about GNU software!
261 The maintainers don't read this group; they won't see your complaint.
262 Use the appropriate bug-reporting mailing list instead, so that people
263 who can do something about the problem will see it.
264
265 Don't trust pronouncements made on gnu-misc-discuss about what GNU is,
266 what FSF position is, what the GNU General Public License is, etc.,
267 unless they are made by someone you know is well connected with GNU and
268 are sure the message is not forged.
269
270 USENET and gnUSENET readers are expected to have read ALL the articles
271 in news.announce.newusers before posting. If news.announce.newusers is
272 empty at your site, wait (the articles are posted monthly), your posting
273 isn't that urgent! Readers on the Internet can anonymous ftp these
274 articles from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil under directory
275 PD2:<UNIX-C.USENET>.
276
277 Someone from the Free Software Foundation will attempt to follow this
278 group as time and volume permits.
279
280 Remember, "GNUs Not Unix" and "gnUSENET is Not USENET". We have
281 higher standards!
282
283 Note that sending technical questions about specific GNU software to
284 gnu-misc-discuss is likely to be less useful than sending them to the
285 appropriate mailing list or gnUSENET newsgroup, since more technical
286 people read those.
287
288 * hurd-ann-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to hurd-ann
289 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.hurd.announce
290 ** Send announcements to: hurd-ann@prep.ai.mit.edu
291
292 This list distributes progress reports on the GNU Hurd. It is also to
293 ask people for various kinds of help on the Hurd. It is NOT for general
294 discussion.
295
296 The list is filtered to remove items meant for hurd-ann-request, that
297 can be answered by the moderator without bothering the list, or should
298 have been sent to another list.
299
300 See section '* General Information about info-* lists'.
301
302 * bug-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to bug-gnu-emacs
303 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.bug
304 ** Gnu Emacs bug reports to: bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu
305
306 This list distributes, to the active maintainers of GNU Emacs, bug
307 reports and fixes for, and suggestions for improvements in GNU Emacs.
308
309 Send bugs in the GNU Emacs Lisp reference manual to:
310 lisp-manual-bugs@prep.ai.mit.edu
311
312 lisp-manual-bugs is neither a mailing list nor a gnUSENET newsgroup.
313 It's just a bug-reporting address.
314
315 Subscribers to bug-gnu-emacs get all info-gnu-emacs messages.
316
317 See section '* General Information about bug-* lists and reporting
318 program bugs'.
319
320 * gnu-emacs-sources-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to gnu-emacs-sources
321 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.sources
322 ** Gnu Emacs source code to: gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
323
324 This list/newsgroup will be for the posting, by their authors, of lisp
325 and C sources and patches that improve GNU Emacs. Its contents will
326 be reviewed by FSF for inclusion in future releases of GNU Emacs.
327
328 Please do NOT discuss or request source code here. Use
329 help-gnu-emacs/gnu.emacs.help for those purposes. This allows the
330 automatic archiving of sources posted to this list/newsgroup.
331
332 Please do NOT post such sources to any other GNU mailing list (e.g
333 help-gnu-emacs) or gnUSENET newsgroups (e.g. gnu.emacs.help). It's up
334 to each poster to decide whether to cross-post to any non-gnUSENET
335 newsgroup (e.g. comp.emacs or vmsnet.sources).
336
337 Please do NOT announce that you have posted source code to
338 gnu.emacs.sources to any other GNU mailing list (e.g. help-gnu-emacs) or
339 gnUSENET newsgroups (e.g. gnu.emacs.help). People who want to keep up
340 with sources will read this list/newsgroup. It's up to each poster to
341 decide whether to announce a gnu.emacs.sources article in any
342 non-gnUSENET newsgroup (e.g comp.emacs or comp.sources.d).
343
344 If source or patches that were previously posted or a simple fix is
345 requested in help-gnu-emacs, please mail it to the requester. Do NOT
346 repost it. If you also want something that is requested, send mail to
347 the requester asking him to forward it to you. This kind of traffic is
348 best handled by e-mail, not by a broadcast medium that reaches thousands
349 of sites.
350
351 If the source is very long (>10k bytes) send mail offering to send it.
352 This prevents the requester from getting many redundant copies and saves
353 network bandwidth.
354
355 * help-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to help-gnu-emacs
356 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.help (and one-way into comp.emacs)
357 ** Send contributions to: help-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu
358
359 This list is the place for users and installers of GNU Emacs to ask for
360 help. Please send bug reports to bug-gnu-emacs instead of posting them
361 here.
362
363 Since help-gnu-emacs is a very large list, send it only those items that
364 are seriously important to many people.
365
366 If source or patches that were previously posted or a simple fix is
367 requested in help-gnu-emacs, please mail it to the requester. Do NOT
368 repost it. If you also want something that is requested, send mail to
369 the requester asking him to forward it to you. This kind of traffic is
370 best handled by e-mail, not a broadcast medium that reaches thousands of
371 sites.
372
373 This list is also gated one way to USENET's newsgroup comp.emacs (once
374 known as net.emacs). This one-way gating is done for users whose sites
375 get comp.emacs, but not gnu.emacs.help. Users at non-USENET sites may
376 receive all articles from comp.emacs by making their request to:
377 unix-emacs-request@bbn.com
378
379 If Emacs crashes, or if you build Emacs following the standard procedure
380 on a system which Emacs is supposed to work on (see etc/MACHINES) and it
381 does not work at all, or if an editing command does not behave as it is
382 documented to behave, this is a bug. Don't send bug reports to
383 help-gnu-emacs (gnu.emacs.help) or post them to comp.emacs; mail them to
384 bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu instead.
385
386 See section '* General Information about help-* lists'.
387
388 * info-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to info-gnu-emacs
389 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.announce (and one-way into comp.emacs)
390 ** Send announcements to: info-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu
391
392 This list distributes announcements and progress reports on GNU Emacs.
393 It is NOT for general discussion; please use help-gnu-emacs for that.
394
395 The list is filtered to remove items meant for info-gnu-emacs-request,
396 that can be answered by the moderator without bothering the list, or
397 should have been sent to another list.
398
399 info-gnu-emacs is also gated one way to USENET's newsgroup comp.emacs
400 (once known as net.emacs). This one-way gating is done for users whose
401 sites get comp.emacs, but not gnu.emacs.announce. Users at non-USENET
402 sites may receive all articles from comp.emacs by making their request
403 to: unix-emacs-request@bbn.com
404
405 Do not report GNU Emacs bugs to info-gnu-emacs or comp.emacs, instead
406 mail them to bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.
407
408 See section '* General Information about info-* lists'.
409
410 * vms-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe
411 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.emacs.vms
412 ** Send contributions to: vms-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu
413
414 This list was a working group who did the initial port of GNU Emacs to
415 the VMS operating system. It still discusses problems and solutions to
416 the VMS port and the distribution of it.
417
418 * bug-bash-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to bug-bash
419 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.bash.bug
420 ** BASH bug reports to: bug-bash@prep.ai.mit.edu
421
422 This list distributes, to the active maintainers of BASH (the Bourne
423 Again SHell), bug reports and fixes for, and suggestions for
424 improvements in BASH. User discussion of BASH also occurs here.
425
426 Always report the version number of the operating system, hardware, and
427 bash (flag -version on startup or check the variable $BASH_VERSION in a
428 running bash).
429
430 There are no other GNU mailing lists or gnUSENET newsgroups for BASH.
431
432 See section '* General Information about bug-* lists and reporting
433 program bugs'.
434
435 * bug-gdb-request@prep.ai.mit.edu to subscribe to bug-gdb
436 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: gnu.gdb.bug
437 ** GDB bug reports to: bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu
438
439 This list distributes, to the active maintainers of GDB (Gnu's
440 DeBugger), bug reports and fixes for, and suggestions for improvements
441 in GDB.
442
443 There are no other GNU mailing lists or gnUSENET newsgroups for GDB.

449 ** gnUSENET newsgroup: NONE PLANNED
450 ** Octave bug reports to: bug-octave@che.utexas.edu
451
452 This list distributes, to the active maintainers of Octave (a system
453 for numerical computations), bug reports and fixes for, and
454 suggestions for improvements to Octave.
455
456 The help-octave mailing list is for user discussion of Octave.
457
458 See section '* General Information about bug-* lists and reporting
459 program bugs'.

466 This list is the place for users and installers of Octave to ask for
467 help. Please send bug reports to bug-octave instead of posting them
468 here.
469
470 If Octave crashes, or if you build Octave following the standard
471 procedure on a system on which Octave is supposed to work on and it
472 does not work at all, or if a command does not behave as it is
473 documented to behave, this is a bug. Don't send bug reports to

480 ** GCC bug reports to: bug-gcc@prep.ai.mit.edu
481
482 This list distributes bug reports for, fixes for bugs in, and
483 suggestions for improvements in the GNU C Compiler to its active
484 developers.
485
486 Please don't send in a patch without a test case to illustrate the
487 problem the patch is supposed to fix. Sometimes the patches aren't
488 correct or aren't the best way to do the job, and without a test case
489 there is no way to debug an alternate fix.
490
491 The most convenient form of test case is a piece of cpp output that can
492 be passed directly to cc1. Preferably written in C, not C++ or
493 Objective C.
