Package: dpkg-dev-el
Version: 24.11-1
Severity: wishlist
The code below is an idea for /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev-el.el
to get the correct coding system (ie. utf-8) for the changelog file in
a debian native package, eg. /usr/share/doc/adduser/changelog.gz.
This is for gnu emacs, xemacs seems to do something different when
visiting compressed files. There's no actual harm in xemacs, it just
doesn't have the intended effect.
(defun debian-changelog-coding-system (args)
"Return the coding system for a /usr/share/doc/[package]/changelog file.
If [package] is a debian native (no separate changelog.Debian) then answer
`utf-8', otherwise remove ourselves from `file-coding-system-alist' and see
what other rules say."
(let ((dirname (file-name-directory (cadr args))))
(if (file-exists-p (concat dirname "changelog.Debian.gz"))
(let ((file-coding-system-alist
(remove '("/usr/share/doc/[^/]+/changelog\\'"
. debian-changelog-coding-system)
file-coding-system-alist)))
(apply 'find-operation-coding-system args))
'utf-8)))
