Re: tramp failing in new build

Thanks, I somehow missed Kai's suggestion.  Setting process-connection-type
to t corrects the problem (as of today's CVS build).

Re: Development package hint in INSTALL for GNU/Linux?

    I've now mentioned the name of the Debian package.  I don't have/know
    Redhat and SuSE, so I can't say about those.

Let's not bother with SuSE.  They develop non-free software,
so let's not give them support.

But let's support Mandrake.  (It may be the same as Red Hat.)

Re: Custom question: different default values for different environments?

    The new plan is to require the user to type "/rsh:user <at> host:bla" if
    rsh is to be invoked, and "/remsh:user <at> host:bla" if remsh is to be
    invoked.

I won't argue against it.

Yes, and this bug is my fault.  My previous change to
find-coding-systems-region-internal was incomplete.  I've
just installed a fix.  Please try again with the latest
HEAD.

The current Emacs doesn't have a facility to cope with such
a situation well.

How about this?

(1) Make a customizable variable
    file-name-coding-system-alist; the format is the same as
    file-coding-system-alist.

(2) Make the macro ENCODE_FILE and DECODE_FILE to check that
    variable before using file-name-coding-system and

Unfortunately, a fontset is not a variable, thus can't be
customized easily.  Another way to modify a fontset is to do
something like this in .emacs.

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default"
		  'mule-unicode-0100-24ff
		  '("gnu-unifont" . "iso10646-1"))

Re: `set-fontset-font' and ascii characters

Thank you for working on it.

If we change the ASCII font in the fontset of the default
face, I think it should have the same effect as changing the
font of the default face (e.g. changing the font size
results in chaning the frame size).  The reason I inhibitted
changing ASCII font in a fontset is that it seems difficult
to achieve that effect (or at least I didn't know how to do
that when I wrote the code).  Does you change pay attetion
to that?

Dave has compiled the current problems in the file
emacs-unicode/README.unicode.  Some of them (especially
serious ones) are already fixed.

Dave, do you have anything else to add to that file?

I think the most difficult task for releasing that code is
to merge the changes into HEAD.  Emacs-unicode was branched
on 2002-03-01, and since then, there were a lot of changes
in HEAD.

Mac OS X build fails

I am new to using/building Emacs on MacOS X (although I am not new to 
Emacs in general). I just downloaded the latest Emacs sources from the 
CVS repository, using the instructions from 
<http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/>, and started to build it on my 
MacOS X 10.2.5.

"make bootstrap" fails with the following messages :

./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
