Emacs pretest 28.0.92 is out

Emacs pretest 28.0.92 is out

[Eli Zaretskii]

Hi!

The third pretest for what will be the 28.1 release of Emacs (the
extensible text editor) is available at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-28.0.92.tar.xz

The tarball is signed; you can get the PGP signature file at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-28.0.92.tar.xz.sig

Please give it as much testing as you can.

As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs,
send a report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with full details
(if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug).

Thanks for helping to test Emacs.

--------------------------------------

To verify that the tarball is intact, download both the .sig and
the tarball, and run this command:

  gpg --verify emacs-28.0.92.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys \
    17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B

You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these
checksums match:

SHA1  emacs-28.0.92.tar.xz
5d48ee6232200b979f946cb822bcbccffcb08ced

SHA256  emacs-28.0.92.tar.xz

I do not know as how mature the third pretest is ranked.  Personally,
I find bug 54158 very annoying; it is a regression compared with
Emacs 27.  Please, let me know if there is anything I can help debugging
it.  Unfortunately, it goes beyond my expertise.

Thanks!

Eric, Lars, can we solve that bug soon, please?

I can work on it this weekend. I don't even have a guess as to what
might be wrong, though, so I'm not particularly optimistic.

Below is  a patch that fixes this bug. Note that I don't believe it is a
regression but seems to have been around for quite some time.

mailbox-source-string and remove should be reset for each mailbox.

Looks good to me.  As this isn't a regression (as the multiple-mailbox
thing has probably never worked), I'd prefer it on the trunk instead of
in emacs-28.

While I filed bug report 54158, putting Andrew's patch only on the trunk
is fine with me.  I (and anyone suffering from this bug) can patch
emacs-28 him- or herself.

Roland,

I cannot help with the bug (my elisp-foo is not up to it) but, reading
the bug report, I note that you wish to download your emails and delete
them on the server.  Does your site's Exchange settings allow you to
access the emails using POP instead of IMAP?

I ask because I have a very similar setup to yours: davmail to support
two-factor authentication with an Exchange server and wanting to delete
emails on the server when fetched.  The only difference in my case is I
specify 'pop instead of 'imap for the localhost server (and hence also a
different :port setting of 1110).  By using POP, the emails are
automatically deleted when retrieved and I've seen no duplicates, as far
as I can tell.

I also second your view on the rather generous interpretation that
Exchange applies to junk email... :-( but I've not yet gone the route of
asking for those emails as well.  Maybe I should.  Something for me to
ponder.

Best of luck,
eric

You should probably ignore my suggestion as POP doesn't allow retrieval
from anything other than INBOX. :-(

Thanks, I already have found some workarounds that cure the symptoms of
this bug.  But none of them address the cause of the problem.  So I hope
it can be fixed properly before the release of Emacs 28.1.

Do you happen to have the public key on any other server like
https://keys.openpgp.org/ ? I'm having hard time retrieving keys using
above command.

$ gpg  --debug-level=guru --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys

Try this:

  gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B

I'm sorry, but problems with keyservers are a fact of life these days,
and no announcement can keep up with the changes fortunes of times as
quickly as they seem to change...

Try this:

  gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B

I'm sorry, but problems with keyservers are a fact of life these days,

(Please ignore the previous message where I mistakenly used --send-keys.)

Thank you! I was able to get the keys. There seems to be some issue with
my system or setup, sorry for the noise.
