[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.

This is a list of the status of XEmacs on various machines and systems.
See PROBLEMS for particular problems and possible workarounds.

Much effort has gone into making XEmacs work on as many different
machines, configurations, and compilers as possible.

Much effort has gone into making XEmacs 64-bit clean.

Much effort has gone into removing system-specific code, and replacing
such code with autodetection at configure time.

The XEmacs core should build "out of the box" on most Unix-like systems.

XEmacs 21.2 was tested and `make check' succeeded on these Unix
configurations as of 2001-02-10:

alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e (both Compaq C and gcc)
i386-unknown-freebsd4.2
i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5
i586-sco-sysv5uw7.0.1 (both SCO's cc and gcc)
i686-pc-linux-gnu
hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 (both HP's ANSI cc and gcc)
mips-sgi-irix6.5 (both MIPSpro cc and gcc)
rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0 (both IBM's xlc and gcc)
sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 (gcc)

Some systems have a dual mode 32-bit/64-bit compiler.  On most of
these, XEmacs requires the --pdump configure option to build
correctly with the 64-bit version of the compiler.

mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="gcc -mabi=64"
mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="cc -64"
rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0, CC="cc -q64"

On most of these systems, XEmacs also builds with a C++ compiler,
but not "out of the box".  This feature is only for use by the
maintainers.

XEmacs 21.2 is known _not_ to work on any machines with m680x0
processors.  Sorry, all you sun3 and Unix PC nostalgia buffs out there.

VMS has never been supported by XEmacs.  In fact, all the old VMS code
inherited from Emacs has been removed.  Sorry, all you VMS fans out there.
