Package: dictionaries-common Version: 0.24.10 Severity: normal File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el
Hi, For reference, see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2005/10/msg00036.html The file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el sets some user settings as: (if (or (eq window-system 'x) (eq window-system 'gtk)) (progn (setq ispell-menu-xemacs nil) (ispell-change-dictionary nil) ) ) In the stable version of the package, this is documented as: : ispell.el loading at startup : ---------------------------- : Emacs comes dumped with an ispell-menu-map containing a set of : dictionaries that won't be what's actually present. To make it match the : actually installed dictionaries some magic is done in the : : /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el : : file, but that will force loading of ispell.el even if you do not intend : to use it at all. If you do not like that behavior, (lisp) coment the : lines : : (setq ispell-menu-xemacs nil) : (ispell-change-dictionary nil) : : in that file. Since that is a conffile your changes will be preserved if : you choose that at package upgrade. It would be preferable that Emacs user configuration preferences not be done in a system file (which users don't have the privileges to edit) but rather through the use of an Emacs customization variable (defcustom). I realize that this isn't an Emacs package and you may not have the skills to implement this. Let me know if a patch is required. -- Peter S.
