Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev

2014-12-12 10:24:00 UTC

According to --debug-init: entered--Lisp error: (void-function apropos-macrop)

This is a run-time error and reinstalling the package with 24.4 does not help.

A non-backwards-compatible fix is discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20135194/emacs-css-mode-not-loading

According to ulm on IRC we probably need something like 

(defalias 'css-macrop (if (fboundp 'macrop) 'macrop) 'apropos-macrop)

to fix this for all emacs versions.

Fixed in -r1.

I have taken a simpler approach, namely removed the code that was calling apropos-macrop. It was only needed for backwards compatibility with Emacs 19.
