--- Begin Message ---Package: vm Version: 8.2.0b-8 Severity: normal Ian, After updating my main machine (and the only one running vm along and exim4, dovecot, spamassassin and whatnot) to Ubuntu 23.04 with its Emacs 28.2 (in an upgrade from 22.10 with Emacs 27.*), I found that vm (which I have been using all those years, still with some hooks and key-binding you emailed to in the mid-1990s (!!)) would no longer start. The error was indicative of elc compilation woes. I found a post by the magit author suggesting removal and reinstallation (of his package). That worked, so I was relieved, but it worked only once. Looking around, I stumbled across the Fedora page for vm. It contains a reference to a change in this commit https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/emacs-vm/c/909b0bc357976252c51502bf17ed1efc6aeb7b97?branch=rawhide which boils down to ;; Startup settings for VM + ;; + ;; For some reason, native compilation breaks VM. As a workaround until the + ;; problem is understood and fixed, disable native compilation of all VM + ;; lisp files. + (eval-after-load "comp" + '(if (boundp 'native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list) + (add-to-list 'native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list "/vm.*\.el"))) I added this in a local -9 build to the top of debian/vm.emacsen-startup which now has ;-*-emacs-lisp-*- ; arch-tag: 045640fd-0ff2-45b7-a29f-68e4b8378fbf ;; Borrowed with thanks from Fedora at ;; https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/emacs-vm/c/909b0bc357976252c51502bf17ed1efc6aeb7b97?branch=rawhide ;; ;; For some reason, native compilation breaks VM. As a workaround until the ;; problem is understood and fixed, disable native compilation of all VM ;; lisp files. (eval-after-load "comp" '(if (boundp 'native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list) (add-to-list 'native-comp-deferred-compilation-deny-list "/vm.*\.el"))) It would be nice if this could be applied to the package as a hot-fix as failing to start is a little off-putting. We could probably also skip the installation on start but there is enough going on in that installer script that I left things were they were. Happy to locally refinements or variants if you have any as I obviously have a test bed for the bug. Cheers, Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
