PACKAGES Karl> Let me guess -- historical reasons? No, it's just a bug. Files should always provide their own name. If a file is supposed to be plug-compatible with an earlier version of a different name, then it can also provide that feature. For now you can use (require 'makefile "make-mode"), or apply this patch.
