Accessiing the CVS tip for Emacs

Accessiing the CVS tip for Emacs

[Peter Milliken]

Hi,

Sorry for the repeat, I posted this to gnu@gnu.org but possibly that was the
wrong place?

I would dearly love to trial the latest source of Emacs but am behind a
firewall and therefore cannot get access to the CVS repository.

Is there any way of getting a nightly snapshot (or less frequent if that is
a problem :-)) of the CVS source tar'd and gzip'd and placed somewhere on
the web-site? (savanah that is). 

Thanks
Peter

The right place for such requests is emacs-devel@gnu.org, the Emacs
development mailing list.

For this, someone will have to volunteer to produce such snapshots and
set up the necessary machinery, site, etc.  No one did, as of now.

It should be easier for you to find a way around your firewall.  To
begin, find out what ports are not blocked by it, and then ask on
emacs-devel for further advice.

Savannah makes an automatic (nightly) tarball of the CVS repository
(ie the version files) available at

http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs-backup/emacs-sources.tar.gz

which is better than nothing.

bind to M-"

[Dave Yuill]

Hi everyone,

My lisp experience consists mostly of copy/paste -> modify so forgive 
me if this is a silly question.  I would like to bind a command to M-". 
  I've tried things like..

(global-set-key "\M-"" 'my-function) ;; obviously shouldn't work

and

(global-set-key [\M-"] 'my-function) ;; End of file during parsing error

.. to no avail.  Could some kind soul please point me in the right 
direction?

Thanks,
-Dave

PS: FWIW I'm running cvs emacs on Mac OS 10.3.3

(global-set-key "\M-\"" 'my-function)

(global-set-key [?\M-\"] 'my-function)

or also

(global-set-key [(meta ?\")] 'my-function)

hi,

define the key interactively by typing M-x global-set-key RET etc.

find the correct lisp code in the history buffer of the
repeat-complex-command (M-x repeat-complex-command RET <up>).

Same for me, so forgive me if I make a bad suggestion:

Why not try 

(global-set-key [\M-\"] 'my-function) ;; or
(global-set-key "\M-\"" 'my-function)


?
