This is a known upstream bug, which was fixed with this patch: http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-cvs/2009-August/005512.html I'll include that patch the next time I roll out a package. In the meantime, though, you can work around the problem like this: M-x customize-variable ediff-coding-system-for-write ... and set the value to escape-quoted. Yes, the warning you are getting is about the coding system for *read*, and I'm having you customize the one for *write*. That's because ediff-coding-system-for-read is bound to the value of ediff-coding-system-for-write just before encountering the error. Jerry, Thanks for fast response! The work around is good for me. xemacs-packages-extra-20090217-4.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Yes! It works as advertised! I'll close this bug. Was this fix ported to F12 or rawhide? On my F12 beta I have
xemacs-packages-extra-20090217-4.fc12.noarch
and I see this msg
Invalid state: Bogus value for 'coding-system-for-read', emacs-internal
Thanks!
Yes, it's been in Rawhide since Nov. 3. The F-12 update will be available as a 0-day update. Understand now. Thank you for your hard work! Jerry,
Could you double check the existence of the patch in F12? In my F12 I
did an update just now, and I still have
xemacs-packages-extra-el-20090217-4.fc12.noarch
which has the bogus value error.
Thanks!
-4.fc12 has the problem; -5.fc12 is the fixed version. I don't see any notes here from the Fedora Update System saying that that version has been pushed to stable. I'd better go see if I forgot to push a button... No, my updates page shows that -5.fc12 is in stable. Maybe we need one more compose before it hits the repository? Sorry, I thought I got this in on time to be a 0-day update, but apparently not. Jerry, Thanks for your effort! I'll wait a few days and see how it goes. I see the -5.fc12 just now, and it worked as advertised. We can now leave this bug RIP. Jerry, thanks! |
Description of problem: When using ediff-buffers, ediff says Invalid state: Bogus value for 'coding-system-for-read', emacs-internal This was working fine in F10, but never worked in F11. Maybe it's just a misconfiguration on my F11; if so, please point out the fix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.5.29-4.fc11.x86_64 xemacs-packages-extra-20090217-2.fc11.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove all xemacs packages from an F11 sysem. 2. yum install xemacs xemacs-packages-extra 3. run xemacs 4. M-x ediff-buffers, select 2 buffers Actual results: ediff says Invalid state: Bogus value for 'coding-system-for-read', emacs-internal Expected results: ediff should proceed with the usual ediff session.
