(find-estring "")

Eduardo Ochs — 2012-05-09T12:14:45

Hello list,

I have been experimenting with another (new?) way of documenting
things: temporary buffers with tutorials, generated by calls like
(find-estring "<Put the tuorial here>"). See:

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eev-intro.el.html

I haven't been testing the tarball in

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-current.tar.gz

much, so some bugs may have crept in - I have been working mostly on
the Debian packages, that are at:

  http://angg.twu.net/debian/
  http://angg.twu.net/debian/README.html ,

especially on the one - "eev-puro" - that has mosts of its docs in
Portuguese =(... I plan to create a version in English of that package
soon, though. As a curiosity, here's a screenshot of Emacs's startup
screen when invoked through the script "emacs-puro" or through its
icon in the desktop menus:

Ok.

Understand. While at it, why is there a project on savannah and nothing
in it ? Is it a dead project to host it there ?

Hi Xavier,


I remember that as being my fault!... You sent this e-mail to the
mailing list,

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/eev/2010-04/msg00000.html

and as I felt that I only had a very incomplete answer I sent you an
e-mail in private and promised a fuller, public answer soon - which I
never finished, because it depended on fixing some things that looked
trivial - but the fix became eev-template.el, which took me ages to
write...


Sorry, good questions! Let me be clearer about the plan. The other
"ways" besides eepitch will not be deprecated, they will just become
secondary - eepitch will be explained before the other ways in most
docs, and the scripts to invoke eev-rctool, to set up eechannel, and
to test if they work will be rewritten to become eepitch-based.


Exactly. 8-)


No, but I would like to rearrange the definitions in files to isolate
the parts that depend on eev-rctool from the other parts. This is a
medium-term goal, though.

  Cheers! =)

Debian package: first real announcement

Eduardo Ochs — 2012-04-06T05:39:11

Hello list, after a long time...

I just updated the Debian package for eev - see:

  http://angg.twu.net/debian/README.html
  http://angg.twu.net/debian/

Its dependencies have been reduced almost to a minimum - just emacs
and xterm - and now the recommended way to interact with external
programs with CLIs is by using eepitch (which has been rewritten):

  http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.el.html
  http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.readme.html

Note that the "eepitch way" does not require any setup at all.

Remember that `M-x eev', `M-x eelatex', and friends did require
"prepared shells" and a directory for temporary scripts, and eechannel
required Expect, xterm, and several subtle details... The right thing
to do would be to have eepitch-based scripts to guide the user through
the installation and testing of all that, but that will have to be
left to the future.

Some functions that I considered too ugly and messy have been
rewritten, and the files with their new definitions,

Hi Eduardo,

long time, no post here.

I have downloaded your package and tried to install it here but
it failed since it depends on emacs22 exclusively. Do you plan on
updating it sooner or later ?

More generally, how is eev going lately ? I am still using it but
I did not notice any news here about it.

Cheers

I gave a workshop using it last week, and there are a handful of

P.S.: one of my main problems with updating the eev package is that
htmlize.el is not working well with new Emacsen... more later...

Fedoara package ?

Xavier Maillard — 2009-11-03T22:36:42

Hi,

I am playing with Fedora and I am looking for a decent fedora package
for eev. Are you aware of something like that ?

Regards,

Xavier
