Hi, (first of all, please Cc replies directly to me - I am supposedly subscribed to the new mailing list, but I subscribed once before (and even have the confirmation message) and have received no mails from it despite mails being in the archive ... that said, I wholly support it in favor of Yahoo! groups. ;-) My jed is doing a hostname lookup at startup (and has for several versions now, I'm not sure how many) that causes irritating delays when I am on a slow link or temporarily disconnected (temporary disconnection is a likely time to want to be fixing things fast in your editor!) from the network. I think this is happening in get_hostname () from userinfo.c. My question is this... Why are we doing this now, and should it be default? I have never run into a case when my editor needed to know my FQDN that I wasn't able to supply it in some fashion. ;-) I propose that said action of *supplying* the domain name if required is superior to having my favorite editor hang for a moment while it attempts to contact a nameserver so I can edit /etc/resolv.conf. ;-) (note: tongue in cheek, other files are equally as important here) How does the community in general feel about this? Perhaps if this is something that some people really want to be able to do there should be a way to trigger it from slang so they can do it in their .jedrc...
