I don't think of it as harassing the user -- if something has nondeterministic behavior whenever its source code gets checked out, I want to warn people about it. Obviously the message that appears would need to be invective-free and informative. And since it appears during load, it needs to contain instructions for how to disable the display of the message. As for un-Emacsy, perhaps. Nonetheless, since the particular program that I have in mind writes a lot of files, which each produce a message, it is the case that warning windows are the best way to indicate that an error has occurred, or that an error may be likely to occur. =2D-=20 Michael Olson -- FSF Associate Member #652 | http://mwolson.org/ -- Jabber: mwolson_at_hcoop.net | /` |\ | | | Sysadmin -- Hobbies: Lisp, GP2X, HCoop | |_] | \| |_| Projects: Emacs, Muse, ERC, EMMS, ErBot, DVC, Planner | --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHVB0i+1Ho2POo0xkRAslBAJ9aSXFNYJL4SneFqKspJX6QO1NtXQCgp6oG ku9d+OBXz7p1oQMqbjVpAGs= =3hvv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============0971850079== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel --===============0971850079==--
