Subject: `eshell-under-cygwin-p' etc. inappropriate?
Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2002 10:24:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E17c0ZO-0001Cg-00@bundalo.shootybangbang.com> (raw)
I was suprised to discover that the following change was applied to
Emacs yesterday:
2002-04-09 John Paul Wallington <jpw@shootybangbang.com>
* esh-util.el (eshell-under-cygwin-p): New function.
* em-cmpl.el (eshell-cmpl-ignore-case): Use it.
* em-dirs.el (eshell/cd): Ditto.
* em-glob.el (eshell-glob-case-insensitive): Ditto.
* em-hist.el (eshell-previous-matching-input-string-position): Ditto.
* esh-ext.el (eshell-binary-suffixes): Ditto.
This was a patch I suggested for the eshell XEmacs package. I'm not
certain it is appropriate for XEmacs, but I don't think it should have
been installed in Emacs. I thought it had been rejected, rightly.
In Emacs, the eshell files are located in the lisp/eshell subdirectory
so the ChangeLog entry is wrong (they suit the XEmacs package layout).
Furthermore, `eshell-under-cygwin-p' is a misleading name: it should
probably be `eshell-under-xemacs-cygwin-p' or similar.
I don't understand why these changes were installed now, four months
after they were suggested.
