Package: emacspeak
Version: 53.0+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to install
Hi,
emacs 29 migrated to testing some days ago and now emacspeak fails to
byte-compile its code.
With a bit of mental support on #debian-emacs (and confirmation that
it's not only on my system), I debugged this to
emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -f package-initialize --eval '(setq
file-name-handler-alist nil gc-cons-threshold 6400
load-source-file-function nil)' -l
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-load-path.el -l
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-loaddefs.el -f
batch-byte-compile emacspeak-proced.el
Putting child 0x563d0a1d88c0 (emacspeak-proced.elc) PID 305986 on the chain.
Live child 0x563d0a1d88c0 (emacspeak-proced.elc) PID 305986
In toplevel form:
emacspeak-proced.el:156:4: Error: Misplaced t or ‘otherwise’ clause
Reaping losing child 0x563d0a1d88c0 PID 305986

It's not unlikely that this is solved in a new upstream version, which
I recall I tried to package earlier already but it had issues.
The dear people from #debian-emacs pasted a stand alone reproducer as
well:
(require 'cl-lib)
(defun emacspeak-proced-speak-that-field ()
"Speak desired field via single keystroke."
(interactive)
(cl-case (read-char "?")
(?u (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'user))
(?p (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'pid))
(?c (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'pcpu))
(?m (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'pmem))
(?v (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'vsz))
(?r (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'rss))
(?T (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'tty))
(?S (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'stat))
(?s (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'start))
(?t (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'time))
(?a (emacspeak-proced-speak-field 'args))
(otherwise (message "Pick field using mnemonic chars"))
(sit-for 1)))
