Emacs 23.3 release candidate

Emacs 23.3 release candidate

[Chong Yidong]

The Emacs 23.3 release candidate is now available for download via FTP,
at the following location:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.3-rc1.tar.gz

The xdelta against the 23.2.94 pretest is at

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.2.94-23.3-rc1.xdelta

Please send me an email reporting success or failure on your build
platform.  Report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or email
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.  For questions, email emacs-devel@gnu.org.


Note that the release candidate reports itself as "Emacs 23.3".  If no
serious problem surfaces during the next several days, this will become
the tarball for the 23.3 release.  At that time, I will also tag the
emacs-23 bzr branch as EMACS_23_3.  Developers, please don't commit
anything to the branch; if you come across a problem, let's discuss it
on emacs-devel.

I encourage everyone to give this as much testing as possible.  Thanks.

Hi,

build starts so far on Suse 10.2:

This is GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.6)
  of 2011-03-01 on

However:

I don't understand why Make is signalling an error here.  Could you
describe the procedure you used to build emacs, including the arguments
supplied to configure and to make?  You seem to be doing a bootstrap,
which should not be necessary when building from the release tarball,
(which normally only needs `./configure', `make', then `make install'.)

These warnings are annoying but irrelevant.

CFLAGS="-g -O2 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls" ./configure

than from inside Emacs

M-x compile

make -k bootstrap

;;;;

that's all
didn't call install


Would assume Emacs misses some libraries. Send you offlist the complete
messages-file.

Hmm, they are numerous. Would clean up that before release.

I can't reproduce the error.  For me, the above steps end with

...
Compiling /home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.3/leim/quail/uni-input.el
Wrote /home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.3/leim/quail/uni-input.elc
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.3/leim'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cyd/pretest/emacs-23.3'

Compilation finished at Tue Mar  1 13:54:19


so it looks like your bootstrap finished, except that Make exited with
code 2 for no apparent reason.  (There is nothing noteworthy in the
compile log that you sent me separately.)

Anyone using SuSE 10.2 and able to try reproducing the problem?

As I had trouble with the previous pretest due to file-permission 
issues, maybe it's the cause here to.

BTW emacs-23.2.94 has been built on Suse 10.3 smoothly.

Sorry, that must read: Suse 11.3

Sorry, sent from version: system here is Suse 11.2, not 10.2

Re: Emacs 23.3 release candidate

[Chong Yidong]

To address a regression (a misapplied patch to cc-cmds.el that was
luckily discovered at the last minute by Daniel Colascione), I've made a
new Emacs 23.3 release candidate, which is now available for download
via FTP, at the following location:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.3-rc2.tar.gz

Apart from the change to cc-cmds.el, this contains no other changes from
the earlier release candidate.  Let's give this a couple of days of
final testing, and then I'll make the release if nothing else pops up.
Thanks for your patience.
