[gentoo-dev] cscope ebuilds

[Anupam Kapoor]

hi all,

i have emacs in my use settings. when i emerge cscope 15.4 using
(emerge cscope-15.4.ebuild) it also installs xcscope for interfacing
cscope with emacs.

the only issue with this is that in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el the load path for xcscope is
initialized as:
            (add-to-list 'load-path "@SITELISP@")

looking at the ebuild, the site-start.el seems to be regenerated for
every emacs package using 'elisp-site-regen'. which for some reason
does not work for cscope ebuild.

can some please point me to the location of 'elisp-site-regen' so that
i can dig some more ? i tried looking for it in the developer
documentation, but could not find any references.

thank you
kind regards
anupam

Can't help with the issue at all, but...

bash-2.05b$ grep elisp-site-regen /usr/portage/eclass/*
/usr/portage/eclass/elisp-common.eclass:elisp-site-regen() {
/usr/portage/eclass/elisp.eclass:       elisp-site-regen
/usr/portage/eclass/elisp.eclass:       elisp-site-regen

thanks for the info. i will look at it and see if i can come up with
the reason (and fix !) for the problem.

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 ?
    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 ?

thank you
kind regards

Nice work tracking this down.

File a bug at bugs.gentoo.org, assign to emacs@gentoo.org

If nobody answers this on the list, you could include this question in
your bug report.

No need.  I made these changes (and bumped revision) in CVS.  The
changes should be visible via rsync in approximately a half-hour.

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.

Looks like it has been fixed in CVS already.  Thanks for pointing out
the problem though.

Either will work.  However, add-to-list is probably a better choice,
as it doesn't append elements which would result in duplicates.

indeed ! but can't we automate the adding of load-paths ? because we
already know the location of site-lisp dir
i.e. /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ and the current package we are
installing is ${P} ?

just curious.

Refer to the thread (in gentoo-dev) regarding forthcoming changes to
site-lisp handling.
