That would be great.

Thanks for the info.

With my Debian maintainer hat on, I don't think I ought to be fishing
some random branch out of launchpad and shipping it to Debian's users,
without a fairly thorough review.  (Also, it's in bzr!)

So I think I need to fix #1042889 by disabling byte-compilation,
pending a better resolution (ideally, upstream).

PS: Was there a reason you didn't send your message to the Debian
ticket #1042889 ?  I think it's generally a good idea to do these
things in public.  Unless you tell me not to, I will forward your
message (and this one) to the bug - so please let me know if you
object for any reason.

Regards,
Ian.

Ian/Dirk,

Have you seen

  

?

This points to a branch of VM at

  

which apparently at some point in time passed native compilation (I
never got a chance to try to far).

I can try to follow up with Uday Reddy and Mark Diekhans to try merging
the native compilation fixes into the main branch (at least).

Afaict, part of the problem was Emacs 29 not being out when this was
reported, and Emacs 28 having native compilation off by default but on
for the Debian packages.  In any case, Emacs 29 is out now, so I guess
time to ask again.

Best
