Package: inform-mode Version: 1.5.8-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I just tried to use `M-x find-function inform-mode', but instead of working as usual, it gave me this error message: ,---- | find-library-name: Can't find library /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/inform-mode/inform-mode.el `---- It looks like this is because you do not yet follow provision 6.E of the debian-emacs-policy; this is hardly surprising, given that it was only just added in emacsen-common 1.4.23, relesed 11 Feb 2012 (only a bit over a month ago, and several months after the latest release of the gettext package). (Especially considering that the policy change seems to have taken slightly over a decade: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122444>.) Here is the relevant policy text: ,---- | E) If an add-on package compiles any of its Emacs Lisp sources | (which must be compiled to a subdirectory of | /usr/share/<flavor>/site-lisp/<package-name> -- see section 4 | above) it must also create a symlink in the same directory as the | compiled output that points to the corresponding source file. | | For example, if add-on package foo produces | /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/foo/bar.elc, then it must also | create a symlink /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/foo/bar.el pointing | to the corresponding source file. This ensures that Emacs will | be able to locate the source code for the add-on package when | using M-x find-function, etc. `---- Note, however, that I'm preparing a suggested update to the package (for your approval), and that it will (if accepted) solve this problem.
