Package: emacs23-common
Version: 23.1+1-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When using flymake with .tex filenames that include a number just before the
.tex extension, flymake fails to find the master file giving the message
"Flymake:!" in the status bar and rendering flymake useless.
For example:
myfile1.tex will fail where
myfile1a.tex will succeeed.
I have not tested this with other modes or file extensions, but looking at
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/emacs/lisp/progmodes/flymake.el?view=markup
there is a regex in (defcustom flymake-allowed-file-name-masks...) that appears
to apply:
("[0-9]+\\.tex\\'" flymake-master-tex-init flymake-master-cleanup)
when I remove this line from flymake.el, the problem appears solved. I don't
know what other ramifications this may have, but it seems to work for me...
trivial patch attached, but note this is against rev 1.63 from savannah. not
sure if/how it applies to debian source.
