Emacs pretest 22.0.99

Emacs pretest 22.0.99

[Chong Yidong]

The Emacs 22.0.99 pretest is now available at

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.99.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.98-22.0.99.xdelta

Note that python-mode has been removed from this tarball.  The legal
status of python.el is currently being discussed; see the thread on
emacs-pretest-bug.  Maybe it will be resolved in time for Emacs 22.1,
maybe not.  In the meantime, the version of python.el maintained by
Dave Love can be found at

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PythonMode

If no problems are found in this over the next few days, I think we
should release Emacs 22.1; but I guess that's up to RMS to decide.

This sounds sensible to me.  How about numbering bug fix releases, which
presumably could be made shortly after the main release if necessary, 22.1.1,
22.1.2, ... this time?  In the past there has been some confusion about the
content of 21.2, 21.3 and 21.4, which AFAICS were bascically just respins of
21.1.

If signifacnt changes are released before Unicode Emacs, these could be
numbered 22.2, 22.3 etc.

This was discussed at length some time ago, but I believe we didn't
decide to change the numbering.  It cannot be changed without changes
elsewhere; e.g., report-emacs-bug knows about the numbering scheme,
and so do the files involved in setting the minor version number
during the build process.

In other words, I think it's too late to change this for Emacs 22.

Many schemes were discussed, I can't remember them all but I'm sure you're
right.  Perhaps we could decide now.

Well report-emacs-bug just seems to look for three dots:

(string-match "\\..*\\..*\\." "22.0.98.1")
2
(string-match "\\..*\\..*\\." "22.1.1")
nil
(string-match "\\..*\\..*\\." "22.1")
nil

What are the other files?  Do they just test for three dots also?

I think the version number for w32 was not changed in emacs/nt/emacs.rc

I have uploaded new (unpatched) binaries, but the executables is marked 
as 0.98 as per above.

Did you build from the tarball that Chong built?

I succeeded to build w32 version by Cygwin latest distribution except make
version. My make is version 3.80.

But after some modification in lisp directory, 'make recompile' failed.

In makefile, variable EMACS is set as
    EMACS = $(THISDIR)/../bin/emacs.exe
but, it should be set as
    EMACS = $(THISDIR)/../src/oo-spd/i386/temacs.exe
for 'make recompile', isn't it?

No, from the CVS, but does not Chong make the tarball directly from the CVS?

That file was changed in the EMACS_22_BASE branch of CVS too, and is 
tagged as EMACS_PRETEST_22_0_99.

Did you just checkout HEAD and build from there? If so, you have built 
the wrong sources.

Yes, that is what I did. Can you please tell me what I need to do now 
then? I know nothing about CVS branching.

Read the message "Emacs 22 branch created.", or better, build from the 
official tarballs.

Thanks, that helped. I have uploaded new binaries for w32:

Yes, and you seemed to be suggesting that we change that, so that now
non-pretest builds are X.Y.Z.1,2,3,... while pretest versions are
A.B.C.D.E.1,2,3...

loadup.el, for example, and make-dist.  Probably others as well, I
don't remember.

Some do, some don't, please take a look.

Thank you for your report.

Is this a Cygwin build or a native Windows build?  That is, is the
resulting binary a Cygwin program or a native Windows programs?

If the latter, then using Cygwin Make is generally considered to not
work (see nt/INSTALL for details).

No, the default is okay for the case that you didn't change any
sources since the last build, and assuming that Emacs binary is
installed in-place in the `bin' subdirectory of the top-level Emacs
directory.  If you have emacs.exe in some other place, you need to
override the value of EMACS from the command line, for example:

   make recompile EMACS=../src/oo-spd/i386/emacs.exe

In any case, there's no need to use temacs.exe to recompile Lisp
files, you can use emacs.exe in the src/oo-spd directory.

I do not want to change the way we number Emacs versions.
Please let's not have another discussion of it.

It looks like 21.1 is actually 21.1.1,  21.2 is actually 21.2.1 etc - I didn't
realise that.  No, I was suggesting 22.1.2, 22.1.3 etc as bug-fix release
numbers (now omitting 22.1.1).

Off course, my build is for native Windows.

I konw nt/INSTALL.

Then I reported that I succeeded with "cygwin compiled make 3.80:"

Off course, before configuration, I had to make un-comment 3 lines in
nt/gmage.defs like as attached patch. Then the binary, I bulld, works well.

If we release version 22.1.2, then its first build on the end-user
machine would be 22.1.2.1, the second build 22.1.2.2, etc.  This is
what I meant: you are suggesting to enlarge the number of digits in
the version string.

I think I see what you are saying: if someone builds the release 22.1 more than
once it's built as 22.1.1, 22.1.2 etc. - I've only built from CVS.

OK, sorry for my confusion.

Tested successfully on FreeBSD/i386 on:

I've updated the editors/emacs-devel port of FreeBSD so until

Was that with or without a sh.exe on your PATH?  If you do have sh.exe
on PATH, then what kind of sh.exe is it? is it the Cygwin port of Bash
or something else?

I used Cygwin bash for build.

I will explain how I build NTEmacs on Cygwin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, I installed Cygwin distribution fully. (not a real latest)
My Cygwin make version is 3.80. (latest is 3.81)

Second, I got header files and "dll"s, that I need, from
gnuwin32(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html).

bash$ mkdir /src/emacs
bash$ mkdir /src/emacs/dll

Then, I put all the required files, header files and "dll"s, in the
/src/emacs/dll directory.

bash$ cd /src/emacs
bash$ wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-22.0.99.tar.gz
bash$ tar zxvf emacs-22.0.99.tar.gz

Then I made un-comment 3 lines in emacs-22.0.99/nt/gmage.defs.

-#ifeq "$(shell cygpath $(CURDIR))" "$(CURDIR)"
-#CURDIR	        := $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR))
-#endif
+ifeq "$(shell cygpath $(CURDIR))" "$(CURDIR)"
+CURDIR	        := $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR))
+endif

bash$ cd emacs-22.0.99/nt
bash$ ./configure.bat --with-gcc --no-cygwin --no-debug \
--prefix d:/cygwin/usr/local/emacs/22.0.99 \
--cflags -I/src/emacs/cvs/dll
bash$ make all
bash$ make install
bash$ cp /src/emacs/dll/*.dll /usr/local/emacs/22.0.99/bin
bash$ /usr/local/emacs/22.0.99/bin/emacs.exe &

Then emacs start to work very well.

Thanks, I added the necessary information to nt/INSTALL.
