Package: haskell-mode
Version: 2.0-1
Severity: normal
XEmacs includes a version of a Haskell mode in
/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/haskell-mode , while I also
have installed a different (more recent) version from the haskell-mode
package in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/haskell-mode . When I start a
fresh XEmacs (with '-no-init-file' to be safe) I get a message
turn-on-haskell-font-lock is obsolete. Use turn-on-font-lock instead.
on the mode line. I haven't investigated completely, but this message
seems to come from the file
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/haskell-mode/haskell-mode.el (in the
haskell-mode library), while the call to 'turn-on-haskell-font-lock'
seems to come from the autoloads generated from the version included
in XEmacs, where this call was not declared obsolete.
Whose bug is this? Is it haskell-mode's bug, for stepping on the toes
of a package included in XEmacs?
This may be a general issue of loaded files included with xemacs and
separate add-ons.
It might be a consequence of this interaction, but the font-lock mode
does not in fact work when editing a literate Haskell file (ending
with .lhs): there are constant complaints of the form
(5) (warning/warning) Error caught in `font-lock-pre-idle-hook': (error No such
face haskell-default-face)
Apologies if this is not a bug with haskell-mode; please redirect as
appropriate.
Peace,
Dylan
