Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 31.3
Severity: normal

Running up "xemacs -q", the various goodies functions are not available
as autoloads, eg.

    M-x ascii-display
    => [No match]

where in the gnu emacs flavours it works.


/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/emacs-goodies-loaddefs.el
contains only

    ;;; DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE
    (if (featurep 'emacs-goodies-el-autoloads) (error "Already loaded"))
    ;;; emacs-goodies-loaddefs.el
    ;;  autoloads generated upon installation of the emacs-goodies-el package

    (provide 'emacs-goodies-el-autoloads)
    (provide 'emacs-goodies-loaddefs)

where I suppose it's meant to be a big set of autoloads like the other
flavours.

Experimenting a bit it looks like xemacs `batch-update-autoloads'
doesn't enjoy starting from an existing emacs-goodies-loaddefs.el file.
Letting it create the file seems to work.

The line "(provide 'emacs-goodies-el-autoloads)" appears to be the
directory `batch-update-autoloads' is run in, ie. "${DIR}-autoloads".
But I've got no idea what that means.

The annoying thing is that xemacs21 won't work from an existing file,
but conversely emacs21 won't work unless there's an existing non-empty
file. :-(  I may have mentioned before that for my own stuff I had some
joy from lisp code calling `generate-file-autoloads' on each file,
making a buffer (to then save).
