/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el the load path for xcscope is initialized as: (add-to-list 'load-path "@SITELISP@") Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge cscope-15.4.ebuild 2. 3. Actual Results: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el was regenerated with (add-to-list 'load-path "@SITELISP@") for cscope. Expected Results: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el should contain (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cscope") i have the fix for the problem. in the cscope-15.4.ebuild, we should be using 'elisp-site-file-install' instead of using 'doins' to install the elisp files. also, in the ebuild, we should be using 'elisp-install' for installing *.el[c] files. all fixes are to be done in the src_install() function of the ebuild. also, another question (not related to this problem), in site-start.el, there seems to be an inconsistency in the way the site files are added to the load-path. for some cases, we have: (setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dircolors" load-path)) and for other cases we have (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/htmlize") shouldn't we be doing either of the two ?
As listed in the following reply (which might not yet have been circulated by the gentoo mailing list daemon, or perhaps there is some other problem), I made the necessary changes in CVS after receiving your post to gentoo-dev: From: Jeremy Maitin-Shepard <jbms@gentoo.org> Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] cscope ebuilds To: gentoo-dev@gentoo.org Date: Sat Nov 15 13:34:47 2003 -0500 Anupam Kapoor <anupamk@speakeasy.net> writes: > ok. got the fix. the problem was that for installing > 50xcscope-gentoo.el, we were using a doins instead of using the normal > 'elisp-site-file-install'. also we should have used elisp-install for > installing the *.el[c] files. the changes fix the problem. > two questions: > 1. how do i send the changes back ? No need. I made these changes (and bumped revision) in CVS. The changes should be visible via rsync in approximately a half-hour. > 2. in site-start.el, there seems to be an inconsistency in the way > the site files are added to the load-path. for some cases, we have > (setq load-path > (cons "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dircolors" load-path)) > and for other cases we have > (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/htmlize") > shouldn't we be doing either of the two ? Since these two methods are functionally equivalent, this is not very critical. Furthermore, I believe we will be revamping the site file management system sometime soon. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
