List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:9903 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:9903 Greetings Just saw this in the TODO of emacscvs. ,---- | * Add a --pristine startup flag which does -q --no-site-file plus | ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the | environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. `---- Can we either change this to -vanilla, or else alias -vanilla to --pristine? In xemacs, -vanilla is exactly equivalent to -q -no-site-file, so if our --pristine turns out to do something different, then we should have a -vanilla that is exactly -q -no-site-file the reason I think we should have a -vanilla is not just for xemacs consistency, but also emacs -q --no-site-file is too much of a mouthful, especially when telling newbies about it, and not easy for them to remember either. PS: Is there a good way to search for emacs-devel archives (other than loading each one in the browser in turn and doing a search-forward?), so i can check for similar topics before posting, to avoid duplicates?
