nxhtml webvcs download error

[malcolm cook]

tring to install per instructions on http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NxhtmlMode

after succesfully installed web-vcs.el
  NOTE: which was installed using AutoInstall package ((http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoInstall)

                (auto-install-from-url "http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/annotate/head%3A/web-vcs.el")

calling web-vcs-nxhtml

and responding Y to to prompt

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "/home/mec/.emacs.d/auto-install/nxhtml-web-vcs.el")
  load("/home/mec/.emacs.d/auto-install/nxhtml-web-vcs.el")

and, indeed, it is not there

I was able to install downloaded zip from http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/nXhtml/doc/nxhtml.html

Thanks malcolm, I wonder what is wrong.

Could you please tell me the value of web-vcs-el-this?

I experience the same problem,
And it seems like the problem lies in the fact that launchpad is stupid. (just my not-so-humble opinion)
Or you might say that it's cause web-vcs-get-files-on-page-1 assumes the server is actually using real directories, but i prefere blaming this on launchpad. stupid launchpad.

(in essence the file we want to download is http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/annotate/head:/nxhtml-web-vcs.el but the directory ttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/annotate/head:/ doesn't really exist. however the directory ttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/files/head:/ exists but the file ttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/files/head:/nxhtml-web-vcs.el does't exist and web-vcs-get-files-on-page-1 doesn't seem to like that. i didn't have time to look into nxhtml-web-vcs.el but i assume it uses the directory somehow)

As for more debugging i'm out of time and have to work now.
Enjoy!

Hi.

Thanks for looking into this.

Also, someone else wrote to me personally:

Same error here.

[lborgman (lennart-borgman)]

I finally got around to fix this. Please try with the new web-vcs.el that I just uploaded.

[Drew (drewwells)]

Trying this today, I got this error:

[lborgman (lennart-borgman)]

Thanks Drew, I will have to look into it again and see if I can find a more robust solution. Anyway I need bug reports and follow up like this!

I also get a problem.
I am running:

GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)

I downloaded web-vcs.el from the link you provide here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nxhtml/nxhtml/main/annotate/head%3A/web-vcs.el

using the Download File button in the upper right-hand corner.
