mirror question

Hi Hans, A question: can you change the "home" link on the login page: http://www.pragma-ade.com:20080/login so that it links to http://www.pragma-ade.com/index.htm instead of http://www.pragma-ade.com:20080/index.htm ? My mirror does not 'do' port 20080, but wget did, so it now a) downloadedthe website twice, and b) creates a broken link on the mirror My mirrored http server will only do port 80 (unless Pragma-ADE can afford/is willing to pay for full-blown duplication services, of course :-)). I will switch to using only rsync this afternoon, that will get rid of the wget weirdness, but the the 'broken link' problem will remain. At the same time, I intend to move the mirroring frequency up, perhaps to once an hour. Greetings, Taco

m-layout
by Adam Lindsay 14 Feb '05

Hey there. I've been playing with m-layout, and I think there's a bug in preset-2-1. I only found it because I was trying to implement the exact same layout, and because I really was struggling with the computational order of precedence in the \dimexpr's (anyone have a good reference for that?) The final line of preset-2-1 should be: \c!bottomspace=\dimexpr((2\layoutvstep)-\layoutparameter\c!header- \layoutparameter\c!headerdistance) [(2\layoutvstep) should be grouped. I don't entirely know why.] ...if it's doing what i think it wants to do! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] "uninitialized value"]
by Taco Hoekwater 03 Feb '05

Hi Hans, Would you apply this fix please? The problem only shows up using Patrick's install script, because the 'normal' distributions use a stub that always calls perl without the -w switch (<sigh>). Also, it would be prudent to start the scripts with an explicit "use warnings;" line to prevent these problems in the future.

They'll be fixed in the next release, but in the mean time, you can change lines 344 and 348 of texexec.pl yourself, if you dare: $ diff texexec.pl.old texexec.pl 344c344 < if ($ENV{openin_any} eq 'p') { --- > if (defined $ENV{openin_any} && $ENV{openin_any} eq 'p') { 348c348,349 < if (($ENV{shell_escape} eq 'f') || ($ENV{SHELL_ESCAPE} eq 'f')) { --- > if ((defined $ENV{shell_escape} && $ENV{shell_escape} eq 'f') || > (defined $ENV{SHELL_ESCAPE} && $ENV{SHELL_ESCAPE} eq 'f')) { Greetings, Taco
