ion-devel-20030601

A bug was discovered:

2003-06-01:
  * An off-by-one error in extl_l1_finalize caused references to some
    Lua tables (including large completions) never to be released.

It could be that this bug was causing some other errors in Lua as well.
Sometimes QueryLib bindings failed because some function generators
returned nil although they shouldn't. Adding dummy lines (!) in those
functions fixed the problem and for some reason this patch also seemed
to remove those problems.

One more note: as ioncorelib.lua and querylib.lua are now installed
in $SHAREDIR, you must remove the old files in $ETCDIR if installing
over a previous release or else there will be errors. You should also
not use any possible old copies you have in ~/.ion-devel/. (One of the
reasons for moving these to $SHAREDIR is to stop users from making
copies of them as they are not configuration files.)

This is the first Lua-based release that I've tried.  I think I will
like it.   Nice work as always, Tuomo.

At the moment I need to launch ion from the directory
/usr/local/ion-devel/lib/ion-devel/ , otherwise Lua complains that it
can't find the query, floatws, and ionws modules.  Did I miss a
configuration option somewhere that lets one fix the search path?

Ancient libltdl that doesn't like that lt_dlinit had drifted to be
called after lt_dladdsearchdir:s? Try the attached patch.

Good guess, that fixed it.  I have libltdl3 1.4.2 from Debian Woody.  I
guess that's what I get for ignoring your warning about libtool <
1.4.3...

Good. I just released ion-devel-20030602 that fixes this and also
uses lt_dlinsertsearchdir instead of lt_dladdsearchdir to add new
directories properly at the beginning of the path instead of end.

I trying to get ion-devel-20030602-1 to compile on FreeBSD 4.8 and it
only got libtool 1.3.4 (ego no lt_dlinsertsearchdir),
I am reading up on libtools, but I can't understand what is the
differs between: lt_dladdsearchdir(dir) and
lt_dlinsertsearchdir(lt_dlgetsearchpath(), dir)

lt_dladdsearhdir: newpath=oldpath:dir
lt_dlinsertsearchdir: newpath=partofoldpath:dir:restofoldpath
in this particular case: newpath=dir:oldpath

Attached is a patch that does it the hard and bloated way if
CF_LTDL_ANCIENT is defined.

Words specification

Hi,

I need some clarification about the words used in Ion. I have read the
ionconf.dvi documentation but I am not still "aware" of all the terms
used there.

In fact I am totally confused :)

Anyone can explain what is what and what is used for ?

Thanx,

Automatic startup in latest devel release

Hi,

I know this is a recurrent question, but I just have seen that in my
.ion-devel, there was a saves directory containing a backup of my
current workspace setup.

So here is coming the question: is there any possibility to tweak this
file to automatically launch program at startup ?

Currently I am doing so with a call to a ~/.auto_startup and launching
it through the GDM handler but it is not really nice since I also have
to edit the kludge files to tell where I want my application to be
mapped :)

So if I could directly tell in my workspace backup file tell which
program should be running per frame, etc.. that would be cute ;)

Any pointer about that ?

ionws_split and ionframe_split: what is the difference ?

Hi,

All is said in the subject but to clarify the situation, I just want to
add I have tried both solution and both achieves the same task. Is this
normal or did I miss something (again) ?
