Subject: CVS 5.8.4 as of 23 Feb 10am is broken
Date: 23 Feb 2000 10:27:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vxkn1osvszr.fsf@beaver.jprc.com> (raw)

Somebody broke something very recently.  Freshly updated,
reconfigured, and "make EMACS=xemacs" rewards me with this on fresh
XEmacs startup:

Signaling: (invalid-byte-code "variable reference to constant symbol :group")
  byte-code("..." [:group :link :prefix require mm-util message custom-declare-group gnus nil "The coffee-brewing, all singing, all dancing, kitchen sink newsreader." news mail gnus-charset "Group character set issues." (custom-manual "(gnus)Charsets") gnus-cache "Cache interface." gnus-start "Starting your favorite newsreader." gnus-start-server "Server options at startup." gnus-group "Group buffers." (custom-manual "(gnus)The Group Buffer") gnus-group-foreign "Foreign groups." (custom-manual "(gnus)Foreign Groups") gnus-group-new "Automatic subscription of new groups." gnus-group-levels "Group levels." (custom-manual "(gnus)Group Levels") gnus-group-select "Selecting a Group." (custom-manual "(gnus)Selecting a Group") gnus-group-listing "Showing slices of the group list." (custom-manual "(gnus)Listing Groups") gnus-group-visual "Sorting the group buffer." (custom-manual "(gnus)Group Buffer Format") gnus-visual gnus-group-various "Various group options." (custom-manual "(gnu
 s!
!
)Scanning New Messages") gnus-summary "Summary buffers." (custom-manual "(gnus)The Summary Buffer") gnus-summary-exit "Leaving summary buffers." ...] 10)
  load-internal("gnus" nil nil nil binary)
  load("gnus" nil nil nil)

Cut/paste of the update itself shows that it involved only these files:

[1083] [10:11:51] beaver:~/Emacs/gnus> cvs update
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating contrib
cvs server: Updating etc
cvs server: Updating lisp
P lisp/ChangeLog
P lisp/imap.el
P lisp/mail-source.el
P lisp/mm-util.el
cvs server: Updating texi
cvs server: Updating texi/ps
[1084] [10:12:10] beaver:~/Emacs/gnus> 

The relevant ChangeLog suspects are

2000-02-23  Simon Josefsson  <jas@pdc.kth.se>

        * imap.el (imap-send-command): Change EOL-chars when
        `imap-client-eol' differs from default, not only for kerberos4.
        (imap-mailbox-status): Get encoded mailbox's status.

2000-02-19  Simon Josefsson  <jas@pdc.kth.se>

        * mail-source.el (mail-source-fetch-imap): Copy `imap-password'
        into `mail-source-password-cache'.

2000-02-17  Florian Weimer  <fw@deneb.cygnus.argh.org>

        * mm-util.el (mm-mime-charset): Check for presence of
        `coding-system-get' and `get-charset-property' (recent XEmacs has
        the former, but not the latter).

Would one of the CVS cognoscenti please take a look?
