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). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages emacs-goodies-el depends on: ii bash 4.0-7 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii dpkg 1.15.5.5 Debian package management system ii emacs21 [emacsen] 21.4a+1-5.7 The GNU Emacs editor ii emacs22-gtk [emacsen] 22.3+1-1.1 The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK use ii emacs23 [emacsen] 23.1+1-4 The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ us ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii xemacs21-mule [emacsen] 21.4.22-2 highly customizable text editor -- Versions of packages emacs-goodies-el recommends: ii dict 1.11.2+dfsg-1 dictionary client ii perl-doc 5.10.1-2 Perl documentation ii wget 1.12-1.1 retrieves files from the web emacs-goodies-el suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
