Hello,
This is one of those vague I-think-I-found-bug report we all hate :-)
I recently ran "NewVersion Emacs 23.2", and I think that somehow it
created the new version from the wrong version. I don't know exactly
the steps I did, but here's some information and speculations:
1. I have recipes for the previous Emacs version in both a
/F/C/Recipes/Emacs/23.1 and /F/C/LocalRecipes/Emacs/23.1. Looking at
the recipe creation dates, it seems that the local version (that I
create myself and apparently forgot to contribute) is older than the
"official" (non-local) one.
2. I don't know when the /F/C/Recipes/Emacs/23.1 was downloaded.
3. My guess is that, when there are both a local and a non-local
version of a recipe, NewVersion uses the local one. For me, it seems
that it would be better to use the non-local one (which is presumably
"more official"), but I may be failing to consider something else. (In
my particular case, the official (non-local) recipe was better than
mine.
Does this make any sense?
only guessing here, but i think NewVersion uses the Compile.conf
compileRecipeDirs setting to decide where to look first, and it gives
priority to LocalRecipes by default.
i guess one could have NewVersion ask what recipe to use as a basis,
when it encounters two recipes of the same version, with different
dates. But i cant really say for sure if that will be a improvement, or
just add noise.
