Timeline not working in 5.20

Timeline not working in 5.20

[Sven Bretfeld]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 337 bytes --]

Hi 

I've installed 5.20 today. There seems to be a bug with "Timeline for
current buffer" (C-c aL)

Arithmetic range error: "floor", -0.0e+NaN

The Agenda buffer shows only one timestamped item. It's the same on
both my machines (with an identical org-file). I'm using GNUEmacs
23.0.50.1 on Debian Etch. 

Greetings

Sven

Hi Sven,

please make a minimal file that still reproduces this bug,
or at least prepare a backtrace so that we can have a chance.

When I take a random file, the timeline works just fine for me.

I have the same problem, and here is a mini-example that will generate 
the error "Arithmetic range error: "floor", -0.0e+NaN ", hope it helps.

This minimal example reproduces that error on my system too.

I've had a look and I think the culprit is:

 ,----[ line 21411 ]
 |  dfrac (/ (* 1.0 (- wdays diff)) wdays)
 `----

Which evals to -0.0e+NaN and then propagates. Might see if I can dig
further tomorrow if I get time.

Cheers,
Phil

I believe line 21411 also causes problems with Deadlines when individual 
items are changed from the default set in org-deadline-warning-days.

Here's an example from my org file:

Day-agenda:
   Controller:    In   4 d.:  TODO Review Fin... :workpc:(priority 1060)
   Controller:    In   5 d.:  TODO Brief MA...   :work:  (priority 1050)
   Controller:    In   4 d.:  TODO Run sale...   :workpc:(priority 1042)

org file:
***** TODO Run sale...			 	:workpc:
       DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun +1m -7d>
***** TODO Review Fin... 			:workpc:
       DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun +1m -10d>
***** TODO Brief MA...				  :work:
       DEADLINE: <2008-02-11 Mon -10d>


I think the 5 day deadline should have a lower priority than the 4 day 
priority regardless of the percentage of completion. Agree?

Well, I guess this is a matter of taste.  Do you want the deadlines  
prioritized
according to the fraction of warning time that has past, or according to
the number of days left to do them.  Opinions?

Here's my two cents :)

I think prioritizing it based on the number of days left to complete it
and still meet the deadline makes more sense to me.  I set longer time
frames for some deadlines because I want them to be visible early on the
agenda as a reminder even if I'm not planning to work on them right
away.  Deadlines are drop dead dates for me and things need to be
completed on or before the deadline expires.  Working on the things that
expire first just feels more natural to me.

Hmm, ok, I guess you guys are right.  I have made the change.
