Please pretest Emacs 21.3

Please pretest Emacs 21.3

[Richard Stallman]

For the next couple of weeks, would people please start using the RC
branch (which will be released as 21.3) rather than the trunk?  We
would like to make 21.3 as stable as possible.

Please send mail to the list if you use the RC branch.

Eli, can you send precise instructions for how to check out this
branch?

Like this:

	cvs ... up -r EMACS_21_1_RC -d emacs

Instead of the ellipsis, put your normal CVS arguments (for me, it's
"-z3 -d eliz@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs").

I'm using it (though it claims to be version 21.2).

.Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.

It should be version 21.2.90, unless I screwed up when making the 
tarball.

I'm not using the tarball, I'm using the CVS RC branch with the tag you
gave (EMACS_21_1_RC).

M-x emacs-version says:

  GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-05-27 on mcspd15

Sorry, I failed to commit the modified version.el.  Should be fixed now.

Re: Please pretest Emacs 21.3

[Miles Bader]

I notice that the RC for 21.3 contains the lisp reference manual (in the
lispref/ subdir), but neither Makefile.in nor configure.in contain any
rules for dealing with it (whereas the CVS head versions do).

Is this intentional?

It's not intentional, but I don't know how to prevent this from 
happening.  The problems seems to be that, once a directory exists on 
the trunk, it will exist on the branches as well.

The branch version of make-dist makes sure the lispref directory is not 
present in the tarball, so the lack of Makefile's doesn't matter for the 
users.

If someone can tell how to persuade CVS not to make lispref visible on 
the branch, I'd be grateful.

You just have to remove the branch tags from the files that are not
supposed to be on the branch.

The directory itself will always be visible, unless you use "cvs update
-P" to let cvs prune it.

Please add a tag whenever you make a pretest.  I noticed that you didn't
tag the 21.2 release either, which is unfortunate.

I've just updated my CVS to the branch and run "make". The build fails

I'll try checking out the source again and rebuilding.

Sorry, I didn't realise that had to be used for all builds...

I've done that and I now get the following error during build of my
existing CVS tree (updated to the branch).

./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
emacs: Invalid hash table rehash threshold: 134217728.0
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-cvs/src'
make: *** [bootstrap-src] Error 2


I'll check out a new copy and have a go with that... but I guess
existing CVS working copies should really build. Shouldn't they?

One thing I haven't tried is a 'make clean' (or some other clean
target). Should I try that?

There are no files on the branch that aren't supposed to be there.  My 
problem is only with directories.

Thanks.  This is a user-level command; I thought there was some way of 
doing it for everyone, by issuing some CVS command once.

I intended to tag the released version only.

Why is it important to tag a pretest, if we don't create a branch?  (Any 
additional CVS command I need to issue as part of the pretest preparation 
is a nuisance, something I could forget or mess up.  So I'd like to avoid 
anything that is not necessary.)

But all the files in lispref are not part of emacs (yet), are they?

Yes, they are.  They are there because the ELisp manual is maintained as 
part of the Emacs CVS tree, and versions 21.1 and 21.2 went into press 
with suitably updated releases of the ELisp manual.

The problem is that on the branch, the ELisp manual is not built as part 
of the Emacs build procedure (unlike Leim, for example).

Fresh checkout does exactly the same thing as my updated copy:

./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
emacs: Invalid hash table rehash threshold: 134217728.0
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1

So that people can know what went into the pretest without having to
download the tarball.

That's what shell scripts are for.  It's always better to create too many
tags than to create too few, because retroactive tagging is a pain.

I use the RC branch personally and have installed the tarball for my
colleagues.  No problems (except for local configuration issues)
encountered.  Running on GNU/Linux x86, so nothing unusual, I'm afraid.

There isn't.  CVS (mis)handles directories a bit like early `tar'
commands: they are not versioned and are only used in order to place
files into them.
Most people should have "update -P" and "checkout -P" in their .cvsrc.

Greetings

if 21.3 has not been tested enough already, i shall try to install it
on a windoze 2000 (never instaled emacs on windows before..) and on a
sunsparc soon..


if anyone happens to have detailed instructions for a newbie, please
send them to me, else: no biggie :) 


Does one really need to have a shell-account with savannah in order to
be able to check out emacs21.3?  If so, does one really need a PGP or
GPG working to be able to do that?

No, you shouldn't need any of that.

See the web page

   http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=40

for more details on how to check emacs out of the CVS repository.
Anonymous access is probably fine for this usage.

When you give the `cvs co' command, you should add Eli's
`-r EMACS_21_1_RC' option just after the `co' part of the command line
[on the web page, there's other junk between `cvs' and `co', which you
still need].

> (PS: i don't know what RC or CVS is.. is that important to know? ) 

Um, a bit.  You at least have to make sure you have CVS installed!
If you can type `cvs --help' and get an answer, then that's probably
enough.

are these okay?   the README in the emacs/ now mentions version

That's the `HEAD' version.  To get the prestest, you should use this
instead for the second command:

   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co -rEMACS_21_1_RC emacs
 
However, since you've already got an emacs directory checked out, you
can just cd there, and use `update' to do the work, like:

   cd emacs
   cvs update -rEMACS_21_1_RC -d -P

It shouldn't worry you; I see the same thing.  I think the script which
is used to make the actual distribution automatically ensures that the
correct version is used.

You can check for sure doing `M-x emacs-version'.  The pre-release
should have version 21.2.90.x.

I'm using EMACS_21_1_RC on Windows 2K, and the pretest tarball on W2K
and RedHat Linux 7.2. Not a problem in sight, either compiling or using
them, except the bug/feature mentioned in another message about
w32-select-font selecting a -iso10646-1 font instead of a -iso8859-1 one.

And that's not a regression wrt 21.2 (it is wrt 21.1, though).

What is the actual bug that this causes?  I didn't see any mention of
incorrect characters or fonts being displayed, or characters not
being displayed at all as a result of this change in behavior.
AFAIK the only change in behavior that this change causes is that
Emacs now displays latin-9 and mule-unicode-* characters out of the
box on Windows, whereas in 21.1 it was necessary to change
w32-charset-info-alist yourself (which also had the side effect of
changing the charset returned by w32-select-font for "Western" fonts).

On my machine, with -q --no-site-file and no display-specific resource
in HKLM\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs (I mean, no Emacs.Font, Emacs.Fontset-X,
Emacs.Geometry, etc.).

(insert (w32-select-font)) =>

-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1

Copy&paste that into HKLM\S\G\E\Emacs.Font

emacs -q --no-site-file

The splash screen appears. If I do anything at all that causes a
redisplay (moving or resizing the frame, minimizing and restoring it,
whatever), the display is garbled.

I'm including a .jpg image of what I get.

BTW, the .jpg is from a 21.3.50, but the same happens with 21.2 and 21.2.90.
