RE: [Vote] blocking non-text messages
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Blocking any attachments is fine, but blocking html to favour plain text would be like buying a new computer just because your operating system doesn't support it. Why can't there be html support into procmail, mutt, etc (lynx code could provide a hint)? We're trying to get people interested in GNU/Linux, not to tell them "You are welcome, but only on our conditions. Don't use html mailing. Don't call GNU/Linux as Linux (boy do we have flame fests on that one)....". All I heard from the mutt and procmail users here is "change mailing list policies for us because our systems don't like them". Why doesn't anyone come forward and say "lets start a mini project to incorporate html support into procmail/mutt". The whole concept of GNU/Linux being a geeks OS only is being stressed here by saying "you gotta learn alternate (probably dificult for some) ways to express yourself by using your imagination. If you're not good enough then Linux is not for you.. go to your sucky windows". Ban html messages and lose the initiative on getting newbies into the GLUG. Getting warning messages the first time doesn't exactly seem to be a welcoming sign for any newbie probably struggling to install the OS on his system. Let it remain an elitist group then. Made up only of GEEKS.

problem starting emacs
by psawant＠nse.co.in 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

i connect to a gnu/linux server through telnet. on the server, emacs is installed, but X is not. when i try to start emacs, it gives the foll error (i guess this is because emacs is trying to start X). emacs: error in loading shared libraries: libXaw3d.so.7: cannot open shared obje ct file: No such file or directory is there any way to start emacs in the non-gui mode (i know this can be done, but don't know how to do it). at my home, if i open emacs in the prompt mode (with the X stopped), it opens automatically in the non-gui mode. the server is managed by a sysadmin. do i need to tell him to do something, or can it be done if i add something in my ".bashrc" or ".emacsrc" files? i would be thankful if anyone could suggest some way to do it.

Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can you put a comment for a tag in CVS
by Abhijeet Mhatre 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi Philip Thanks a lot for your reply. This changeLog and RELEASE_NOTES idea sound good. So when you have to release a module you need to edit these files to reflect your projects capibiliteis etc. Am I right? There's one more thing I wanted to ask. I can update my module or file to a tag or a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. But how can I update a file to a older revision which is not tagged. For example. Today I make 3 commits for a file. and only the first and last are tagged so say the file has revisions 1.1 1.2 and 1.3 Now I can update to 1.1 and 1.3 since they are tagged. How do I update to 1.2 ? If I want to check out 1.2 or see what the file contained, how do I do that. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre > Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2003 09:31:48 +0530 (IST) > From: Philip S Tellis <philip(a)ncst.ernet.in> > Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] Can you put a comment for a tag in CVS > To: "GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India" > <linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in> > Message-ID: > <Pine.LNX.4.44.0309230928240.17356-100000(a)bigears.ncst.ernet.in> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > > On Mon, 22 Sep 2003, Abhijeet Mhatre wrote: > > > I can put a comment when I "commit" my files.

Check 'Mathematics' and its sub-categories on : http://sal.kachinatech.com/ SAL = Scientific Applications on Linux. The site as such is dedicated to math, cad, graphics and programming applications for GNU-Linux. I've found it very comprehensive always. Vishal. "Follow your bliss.
