Re: Package problem: miscompiled macros

Hi Jerry,
It looks like nobody has run gen-macro-list.awk since I first
submitted
it nearly a year ago. :-( It needs to be run to bring macro.list up to
date. Do one of you package guys want to grab that, or would you rather
I submitted a patch?
Of course I prefer patches :-) I haven't even known about your
scripts. You've brought it up in a time when I was (even more) only
an XEmacs user (and I've never wondered about them, my bad).
The one exception is combine-after-change-calls, which is called in
mmm-mode/mmm-cmds.el. We don't have it. An example of working around
that is in prog-modes/diff-mode.el. This is something that should go
into the fsf-compat package.
Can you cons up something for this?
I would like to see the running of the two awk scripts become part
of
the package release/testing cycle somehow, so we can avoid releasing
packages that have miscompiled macros in them.
Now that I know about them ... I can set up a cronjob to extract the
output on a regular basis. Then it's package maintainer nagging time
:-)
Also, per Kyle's recent remarks, it appears that the currently
released vm package has not been made properly, since vm-autoload.el
has out of date contents.
It's the bane of the whole field. The day I release a package it's
already outdated and/or may have to be fixed.
You package guys don't have a Real Life (tm), right? :-)
:-) It's begun to kick in lately.
