BUGTRAQ: solaris/utility/emacs

COMMENTS:

This file contains information about the emacs package within the Userland

consolidation. Along with the comments in the Makefile, it documents any

deviations from standard Userland or emacs practice, as well as miscellaneous

information needed to understand how this component is put together.

- We patch the following changes to the emacs sources:

calc-forms.patch

calc has a flaw that puts the X11 versions of emacs into a

tight loop. This patch comes from the calc maintainer. The

fix was applied to the GNU emacs "master" branch, in September

2014. It will be in version 25.1. We should be able to drop

this patch when we upgrade to, or past, that release.

face_for_font.patch

xdisp.c has a call to face_for_font(), a function that is

only present when window system support is included, which is

not the case for emacs-nox. This patch ifdefs the offending

call away.

find.patch

The rgrep function uses the GNU-specific -path option to the

find command. Change the default value for the find-program

variable in grep.el to use GNU find.

gtkutil.patch

This fixes a bug in emacs 24.3 in which a message like the

following is emitted to stderr on startup if emacs was started

with a specified geometry:

(emacs:4090): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called

on a window with no visible children; the window should be set up

before gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.

This was fixed upstream:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=929353

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/111078

- The emacs distribution used to have a subdirectory, src/s, which

contained per-platform header files. We would apply the following

patches. Please note that the contact information given in the comment

in the first patch is no longer valid. Current information is found in

the README file in the top level directory of this workspace:

/* There have problems reported with mmap at least on Solaris 2.6

and 2.7. For simplicity, let's not use mmap for anything >= 2.5.

These are now both handled by default by the configure process, and in fact,

comments from the header files appear to have been carried over. With every

update, we must verify that these settings stick and remain enabled.

System Malloc:

The information output at the end of the configure step verifies this:

Configured for `x86_64-pc-solaris2.12'.

...

Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc? no

(The GNU allocators don't work with this system configuration.)

dldump:

One could examine the configure script looking for the setting

"UNEXEC_OBJ=unexsol.o", but it seems easier/better to simply examine

the final executable:

% pvs -nos emacs | grep dldump

emacs - libc.so.1 (SUNW_1.22): dldump;

- Emacs can be built as either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on the target

machine. The benefit of a 64-bit emacs is that the size of the files it

can handle is not limited to 128MB, as it is with the 32-bit version.

For Solaris, we used to build both versions, using /usr/lib/isaexec to

run the 64-bit version if possible, and the 32-bit version otherwise. Note

that this was only done for the emacs binary itself, as there is no

technical need for 64-bit versions of the ancillary programs that come

with emacs (etags, emacsclient, etc).

Fortunately, the vast majority of the files in an emacs tree are identical,

regardless of the platform and/or word size, which makes this particularly

easy to do.

With Solaris 11, all kernels are 64-bit, and we therefore do not need

the 32-bit executables. As such, we only supply 64-bit emacs binaries now,

and the use of usr/lib/isaexec has been removed: This cuts the number of

builds necessary in half, and also the binary package size. It also

simplifies packaging, and the user's view of /usr/bin/emacs*.

- There are three different toolkit options: None, Athena widgets

(aka Xaw, or lucid), and gtk. It would be nice to only support gtk,

but for purposes of minimization and user preference, we supply binaries

for all three. We follow the Linux model in this regard. The Xaw and no-X

versions are quite stable from release to release, so this isn't a large

burden.

- In the past, we built emacs with gcc. The Makefile contained:

# This code is built with gcc. The primary reason for this is that the

# configure script has problems using a non-GNU cpp. I am not aware of

# any reason Sun Studio could not be made to work, but simply made a

# cost/benefit decision not to pursue it at this time

COMPILER = gcc

With emacs 24.3, I removed this, and find that studio now builds

emacs without issue. This is something that should be reverified

with each update.

- Remember to update resolve.deps when updating to a new version,

as dependencies can change. Instructions are on the Userland website.

- We deliver the following packages:

gnu-emacs - Everything you need to run emacs, except the

emacs binaries.

gnu-emacs-gtk - Binary for the X11 version using the GTK toolkit.

gnu-emacs-no-x11 - Pure tty emacs binary, built without

any X11 linkage or other extra support (i.e. D-bus). This

is the most basic emacs possible, ideal for headless server

systems.

gnu-emacs-x11 - Binary for the X11 version using the Athena

widget (Xaw) toolkit.

gnu-emacs-lisp - The compressed LISP files for which compiled

versions are delivered by gnu-emacs. These are only needed

for emacs developers and those who like to read source code.

The core gnu-emacs package is required by all of the other packages.

In turn, gnu-emacs requires at least one of the packages supplying an

emacs binary to be installed.

- We do not ship any suid/sgid binaries for obvious security reasons.

We do not install the files under /var/games/emacs. The reason for

this is that we do not install update-game-score as setuid, and

therefore the game files are not usable. This the same decision made

by Debian, among others.
