Hi, Please find in the next messages two patches for elisp.eclass and elisp-common.eclass.
The first patch makes functions elisp-compile(), elisp-install(), etc. die if there is an error. For EAPI 4, the functions died anyway, because the underlying package manager functions did so. In EAPIs where it is supported, nonfatal will give you the old behaviour. The second patch makes elisp-common.eclass cooperate with readme.gentoo.eclass. Many of the ebuilds for elisp packages output elog messages in postinst, so it makes sense to support this on the eclass level. Ulrich
