Bug#309790: dpkg: [Emacs] compiling *.el files shoudl display errors, not just log file name
Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.27 Severity: normal Recent install of dpkg-dev-el reads: Fetched 131kB in 4s (27.4kB/s) Selecting previously deselected package debian-el.

Now the user does not know form this output if all went ok or not. SUGGESTION Add a simple grep call to check the results. Emacs Lisp compilation always print ** in front of warnings and errors.

Now the user does not know form this output if all went ok or not. Neither dpkg-dev-el nor debian-el are provided by dpkg. dpkg knows nothing about Emacs Lisp, yet alone its compiler warnings. Reassigning to emacs-goodies-el, which is where both packages come from. Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
