copyright.el vs. version 3
Now that I've switched coreutils to GPL V3, I find the default behavior (asking me if I want to downgrade to version 2) to be annoying -- and ironic. This is against emacs built from cvs (git, actually :-) today. Here's the patch I'm using: 2007-07-10 Jim Meyering [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPL v3 is the latest: copyright.el should not prompt for a v3 comment * emacs-lisp/copyright.el (copyright-current-gpl-version): Set to 3. * autoinsert.el (auto-insert-alist): s/2/3/ in the generated comment. diff --git a/lisp/autoinsert.el b/lisp/autoinsert.el index 3f615dc..dcacc6a 100644 --- a/lisp/autoinsert.el +++ b/lisp/autoinsert.el @@ -188,7 +188,7 @@ If this contains a %s, that will be replaced by the matching rule. \;; This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify \;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by -\;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) +\;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option) \;; any later version. \;; This file is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/copyright.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/copyright.el index ac61c5a..facdf9e 100644 --- a/lisp/emacs-lisp/copyright.el +++ b/lisp/emacs-lisp/copyright.el @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ When this is `function', only ask when called non-interactively. ;; when modifying this, also modify the comment generated by autoinsert.el -(defconst copyright-current-gpl-version 2 +(defconst copyright-current-gpl-version 3 String representing the current version of the GPL or nil.)

Re: Info pages opened with an incorrect coding system
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 16:14:15 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Karl Berry) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] source was written well, I can't agree that it is bad to use literal characters instead of Texinfo commands. Perhaps I'm confused: if Texinfo commands are not the recommended way, then why do we have them? why not tell users to always use literal non-ASCII characters? IOW, I think the fact that the document specifies @documentencoding should be enough for makeinfo to obey; relying on an additional command-line switch is unreliable. I don't see that it's unreliable, although I could agree with inconvenient. Sorry, I should have explained: it is unreliable from the point of view of the document author. As an author, I cannot simply put a @documentencoding directive in the document and be sure that the result will absolutely positively displayed correctly in Emacs. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
Re: Info pages opened with an incorrect coding system
Perhaps I'm confused: if Texinfo commands are not the recommended way, The Texinfo commands aren't unrecommended either. Both ways have their advantages -- it depends on the document. That's why we support both. then why do we have them? why not tell users to always use literal non-ASCII characters? Because there are many, many cases where the document is 99+% English, representable in 7-bit ASCII, but a few special characters and/or accented letters are needed. It would be horrible to force users into the whole encoding madness just for that. On the other hand, for a whole document written in Polish or whatever, it is exceedingly painful to have to resort to the accent commands; it makes the source nearly unreadable. That's when having the 8-bit chars is useful. Things have been this way for decades. It's not going to change. Anyway, back to the suggestion at hand: fine, I will make the --enable-encoding behavior the default when @documentencoding is specified in the upcoming release. I hope it helps. karl ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
