The obsolete bytecomp feature is back as of Emacs 9964db4. BTW, why doesn't lisp.am use the standard "-f batch-byte-compile" method of producing .elc files? Your two issues that affected only automake illustrate that the way automake generates .elc files is different to the vast majority of

It seems you sent this bug report to bug-automake by bcc. This confuses debbugs.gnu.org, which has no idea which package the report should be associated with. Hence your message ended up on the help-debbugs mailing list. I have assigned your report to automake, so that this message and any future

Hi, You change this by going to the administrative interface in mailman https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/admin/automake Then in the General Options page, edit the introductory description section and then press submit. Changes should be instantaneous.

However, my biggest concern is that right now, I filter both autoconf and automake messages into the same mail folder, but debbugs anonymizes which list a bug is being reported against (that is, the To: is rewritten as ###@debbugs.gnu.org, so there is no longer any mention of 'automake'

2010-11-10 Thread Glenn Morris
Actually, that was probably too glib a response. The version number information is probably used in other places, and needs to be sortable so that the fixed/found commands can work. So I don't think arbitrary version strings can work. You could use the date of a commit perhaps.
