In dev-util/git, site-lisp info for emacs is loaded from 72gentoo.el The file contains an fboundp for the symbol vc-git-registered which is not available at eval time with emacs 22.2. As a result git is not in the load-path etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. fire emacs 22.2 2. (require 'git) [without having the git path in your .emacs] Expected Results: git-mode... This is easy to fix by dropping the fboundp check in 72gentoo.el [it is not there in earlier revisions of the file]

The problem I am seeing is not having ...site-lisp/git in my load-path. It works fine in emacs 22.1, but breaks in 22.2
I can't help there... reassigning to opfer, he should know. - ferdy
Redirecting to the Emacs team which is the real oracle of power for such questions. Will have a look later today.
See bug 194690: Emacs 22.2 contains native git support, so the code installed by dev-util/git was disabled to avoid collisions.
(In reply to comment #4) > See bug 194690: Emacs 22.2 contains native git support, so the code installed > by dev-util/git was disabled to avoid collisions. Right. Ferdy, we discussed it on 2007-10-04 in #gentoo-dev for bug 194690 (20:10:44) ferdy: Opfer: I really don't like the 'elog' part in pkg_postinst (20:12:06) ferdy: once that emacs version has been long enough in the tree, we'll just punt USE=emacs from git and call it a day (20:13:41) Opfer: ferdy: We will keep several versions of GNU Emacs in the tree, at least 18 and 21 will stay there and 21 is supported for app-emacs packages. (20:14:18) Opfer: ferdy: There is no sane way of depending on it as we have virtual/emacs-<major-version>, but git support will enter with 22.2, so you cannot hard dep on virtual/emacs-22.2 (20:15:09) ferdy: Opfer: how about using has_version ? (20:16:34) Opfer: kingtaco|work: We won't, but why do you like it that much? (20:16:53) Opfer: ferdy: Yeah, that is an alternative, or you leave the message out as no user will see the difference. (20:17:14) Opfer: ferdy: < 22.2 will have the support files loaded, >=22.2 have it automatically. (20:17:55) ferdy: Opfer: but we can even avoid installing dead stuff, right ? (20:18:26) Opfer: ferdy: Yes, but you can have several Emacs versions in parallel. You really should remember. ;-)
I had completely forgotten about it. So nothing to be done really. Feel free to RESOLVE->INVALID this bug. - ferdy
