I have a .emacs file under version control and symlinked into my home directory. Every once in a while, emacs replaces my symlink and creates a regular file. Just now I sent some usenet news and saw a message flash by: Wrote /home/ecashin/.emacs Sending news via news.gmane.org using nntp... Opening nnimap server on 127.0.0.1... The difference between the old .emacs and the impostor is shown below. It leads me to suspect that the customize code of the two emacs versions I use are competing. I wish they would leave .emacs alone, since I edit it myself and like the symlink. --- svnfiles/homedir/.emacs Mon Mar 1 15:35:37 2004 +++ .emacs Mon Mar 1 20:28:28 2004 @@ -838,7 +838,10 @@ (error (message "Cannot initialize bbdb %s" (cdr err)))) -(custom-set-faces) +(custom-set-faces + ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! + ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. + ) ;;; auto-compression-mode means turn on automatic decompression of ;; visited files, e.g., *tar.gz files, so that tar-mode can work! @@ -1001,8 +1004,11 @@ (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.goo$" . goo-mode)) (setq goo-program-name "/inst/bin/goo")) (custom-set-variables - '(load-home-init-file t t) - '(gnuserv-program (concat exec-directory "/gnuserv"))) + ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! + ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. + '(canlock-password "b386d1cc17f438e9c8bc963815439d94adbd6244") + '(gnuserv-program (concat exec-directory "/gnuserv")) + '(load-home-init-file t t)) (defun mips-asm-mode () "asm mode with adjusted defaults for use MIPS asm." -- --Ed L Cashin PGP public key: http://noserose.net/e/pgp/
