make rpm-dist and deb-dist both fail with the same error
I just updated my cvs sources (did a fresh checkout to be sure) and I keep getting an error with both make rpm-dist and make deb-dist as follows. Making all in FvwmTabs make[5]: Entering directory `/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/fvwm-2.5.16/modules/FvwmTabs' make[5]: *** No rule to make target `FvwmTabs.pod', needed by `FvwmTabs.1'.

Alex It seems as the same error is shiped with the 2.5.15 tarballs. It seems as if modules/FvwmTabs/Makefile.am concider the final manpage as a part of the distrubution, rather than the pod-file. When making make tries to rebuild the manpage from the pod, but the pod is missing. I don't have enough knowledge on automake to know what changes are needed, so somone else will have to fix it. /Viktor
CVS migo: * fix make on distribution made by make dist
CVSROOT:/home/cvs/fvwm Module name:fvwm Changes by: migo06/01/15 15:45:51 Modified files: modules: ChangeLog modules/FvwmTabs: Makefile.am Added files: modules/FvwmTabs: FvwmTabs.1 Log message: * fix make on distribution made by make dist _ this is done by adding the man page to cvs and dist (no auto-generation) _ this also restores the ability to install fvwm without perl installed
Re: make rpm-dist and deb-dist both fail with the same error
Just tested. Mere make is broken on the released fvwm-2.5.15 tarballs. I don't think we should release new version. We should do this: * unpack tarball, fix one Makefile.am by adding one character, pack it * move cvs tag version-2_5_15 on 2 files (Makefile.am, FvwmTabs.1) I will do this and upload fixed tarballs, then Jason just replaces them. Meantime, Jason, please remove fvwm-2.5.15.tar.gz and bz2 from ftp. Regards, Mikhael.

bell on failed grab
Hello, I would really like to appeal for the removal of the XBell() at line 1029 in fvwm/functions.c, part of execute_complex_function(). It doesnt serve any purpose as it is impossible to determine even if it was fvwm that rang the bell, and as no message is printed to stderr to indicate what the bell means there is no way for a user to find out what failed or what function was trying to execute when it failed. Additionally, it really drives me crazy as it makes a lot of the events supported by FvwmEvent totally unusable for me, as some of them may be triggered while the server is grabbed. Replacing the XBell() with a message to stderr stating failed to grab server in function FooBar or similar would be much more helpful to users who want to find out why their configuration isnt working, and much less annoying to users who realise that some commands may fail during a grab but want it anyway :) Thanks, Tavis -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] | finger me for my pgp key. ---

We should do this: * unpack tarball, fix one Makefile.am by adding one character, pack it For the record, I applied the same trivial fix to modules/FvwmTabs/Makefile.in and replaced FvwmTabs.1 to be consistent with the cvs tag. I tested make rpm-dist and it worked well. * move cvs tag version-2_5_15 on 2 files (Makefile.am, FvwmTabs.1) I will do this and upload fixed tarballs, then Jason just replaces them. I can't upload, since it seems that the old tarballs are still not removed from incoming/ (I sent a private request 30 minutes ago). Until this is resolved, the fixed tarballs are uploaded to: http://fvwm.sourceforge.net/releases/ Regards, Mikhael.
