Package: gnu-smalltalk
Version: 2.1.8-2
Severity: wishlist
gnu-smalltalk installs a couple of Emacs lisp files in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnu-smalltalk. Unlike other packages that
have Emacs support files, gnu-smalltalk does not compile and install
the files, nor does it update the load-path for loading the uncompiled
lisp files that come with the package.
I am not sure about the severity of this bug, nor am I fully aware of
if it is a violation of Debian Emacs Policy. Someone more
knowledgeable then myself might want to look at that.
I am including three files that I found needed to be present in order
to have gnu-smalltalk enabled in Emacs if it was installed. Hopefully
the information and the files will be helpful to someone :)
cheers,

;; Emacs startup file for the Debian GNU/Linux gnu-smalltalk package
;;
;; Adapted for dh-make by Mehul N. Sanghvi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> by
;; adapting from the goo package file which was done for dh-make by
;; Jim Van Zandt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
;; Since this was adapted from the goo package, the following is true
;; for gnu-smalltalk as well:
;; The goo package follows the Debian/GNU Linux 'emacsen' policy and
;; byte-compiles its elisp files for each 'emacs flavor' (emacs19,
;; xemacs19, emacs20, xemacs20...). The compiled code is then
;; installed in a subdirectory of the respective site-lisp directory.
;; We have to add this to the load-path:
(setq load-path (cons (concat "/usr/share/"
(symbol-name flavor)
"/site-lisp/gnu-smalltalk") load-path))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.st\\'" . smalltalk-mode)
;; auto-mode-alist))
(autoload 'smalltalk-mode "smalltalk-mode"
"Major mode for editing Smalltalk code." t)
