Bug 205156 – app-emacs/ess-5.3.6 version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Neil 2008-01-10 09:47:32 UTC]

ess-5.3.6 was released back on 13th September 2007 (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2007-September/004310.html).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-emacs/ess
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
app-emacs/ess-5.3.5 is emerged

Expected Results:  
Would be nice to have 5.3.6

Copied the app-emacs/ess-5.3.5.ebuild to my local overlay and bumped the version to 5.3.6 and its been perfectly stable since then.

Really useful functionality for R users that was added was....

* ESS[R] add Sven Hartenstein's "R function arguments tips"
     functionality, via new file `../lisp/essd-r-args.el'.   Note that
     this includes an "electric "("" behavior inside `R-mode'  which is
     _active by default_ and can be customized via
     ESS-R-ARGS-ELECTRIC-PAREN; i.e., use `(setq
     ess-r-args-electric-paren nil)' to turn it off.  Further,
     ESS-R-ARGS-SHOW-AS allows to switch to the "tooltip" mode.

Bumped, thanks for reporting.

I did some additional cleanup of the ebuild, so I would be grateful if you could test it again.

Will report if I have any problems after my next eix-sync && emerge -uDN world

Thanks,

app-emacs/ess-5.3.6 does not byte compile itself while emerging (if it was meant). So when emacs starts, I get lots of the messages like these:

Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess-site.el' newer than byte-compiled file
Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess-emcs.el' newer than byte-compiled file
Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/essd-r.el' newer than byte-compiled file
Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/essl-s.el' newer than byte-compiled file
Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess-mode.el' newer than byte-compiled file
Source file `/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess.el' newer than byte-compiled file
...
Btw I use ~amd64 and emacs-cvs

It did, only the compiled files were installed too early, i.e. before the sources.

These are only warnings and shouldn't compromise operation of Emacs or ESS.

However, this is fixed in 5.3.6-r1 now. Thank you for pointing it out.

Ulrich, thank you very much for clarifying and fixing.
No more warnings, anymore.
