Edit detail for #144 Domain abbreviation is no longer associated with filename revision 1 of 3

changed:
-
The hyperdoc and )show commands associate the source file of a package with
abbreviation xxx to xxx.spad.  This is not correct and sometimes the xxx is not
even close to the correct file name. Please note that one spad file may contain
many domains and packages. So most clicks in hyperdoc on the source file results
in file not found and it is a guessing game what the right file is.

An example is SOLVETRA package where the spad file is
transsolve.spad; another is EF where the file is elemntry.spad.
The NAG version is correct, so something in the OpenSource version is
responsible for the change.

Subject: .spad vs .pamphlet
Message-ID: <20050403092831-0500@page.axiom-developer.org>

The problem to which William is referring is caused by
the way Tim has re-organized the original *.spad source
files into *.spad.pamphlet files. The mapping is many-to-
one where there used to be 1000+ *.spad files there are
now only 300+ *.spad.pamphlet files. The new OpenSource
makefile extracts the individual *.spad files as intermediate
files as needed by the rest of the build, but these are not
the ones passed on to the 'mnt' release directory. Instead
the current makefile extracts the merged *.spad.pamphlet
files and calls them *.spad files in the 'mnt' directory,
but these correspond to the 300+ *.spad.pamphlet files
not the 1000+ original *.spad files. I agree that the fact
that these appear with the suffix ".spad" is confusing because
the names because these are not the original *.spad
files.

I think one reason that Tim may have done that was to keep
these source files in sync with the corresponding *.dvi
documentation files - that is a good thing. But unfortunately
it breaks Axiom's original method of referring to the
appropriate source.

Perhaps the *.spad files extracted as intermediate files
could just be copied into the 'mnt' directory instead of
the re-packaged versions. That would at least make Axim
work the way it used to. But in the new system of
code+documentation in pamphlet files really one is not
supposed to be editing the *.spad files directly, rather it
is the pamphlet file that is should to be changed - both
code and associated documentation.

So I suppose really Axiom should be supplying the new
*.spad.pamphlet file names. This might be a little difficult
since currently Axiom itself does not understand the
mapping of spad to pamphlet files. I think that something
would have to be changed in the Axiom database files.

Regards,
Bill Page.

Subject: wild card and case sensitivity in hyperdoc
Message-ID: <20050701031727-0500@page.axiom-developer.org>

The searches should allow use wild card character * also be case insensitive. This is not the case in the open source version (something broken?), making it very unusable. Should be a high priority to fix since it is close to impossible for newcomers to program in Axiom without a fully working hyperdoc. Why spent time discussing about new GUI when it is perhaps simpler to fix these?

Message-ID: <20060810022721-0500@wiki.axiom-developer.org>

Save the following as $AXIOM/lib/SPADEDIT and make it executable, and replace the call to emacs by your favorite text editor. In fact, maybe one should change the code to call the dvi file or at least the pamphlet::

  #! /bin/bash
  
  ## get the filename   
  f=\$(basename \$1 .spad)
  
  ## get the file and the line number. We can assume that grep produces only one
  ## answer, I guess.
  ## (replace \$AXIOM/src/algebra/* by the directory containing pamphlets if you 
  ## prefer them)
  h=\$(grep -n ")abb.* \$f " \$AXIOM/src/algebra/*)
  
  ## get the filename
  name=\${h%%:*}
  
  ## get the number
  number1=\${h#*:}
  number=\${number1%:*}
  
  ## start emacs
  emacs +\$number \$name

Thanks Martin. I think your approach to solving (or at least
working around) this problem is very innovative. I definitely
agree that it should be included in the Axiom distribution.

In the longer term I still think that we need a more integrated
support for literate programming in Axiom, but as a stopgap
I think this is great!

Subject: What to do with this fix?
Message-ID: <20061123124642-0600@wiki.axiom-developer.org>

I´m new to Axiom (Windows version), and I´ve also this problem with ')edit filename.input'.
So what exactly should I do with this SPADEDIT.pamphlet file to solve this problem?
A few postings up I read: "Save the following as $AXIOM/lib/SPADEDIT and make it executable".
How can I make it executable?

Sorry for my stupid questions, but as I said I´m still a newbie in Axiom, and just want to try (and use) it like other CAS.

Franz.
