Hello. Some time ago I received this report from Vincent Lefevre regarding po-mode. The problem seems not to be fixed in the current version.
I include below a summary of the issue. The full history may be found here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1018950 Thanks. ----------------------------------- From: Vincent Lefevre <vinc...@vinc17.net> [...] On my Debian/unstable machine, I've downgraded the emacs packages to stable with aptitude install emacs-gtk/stable emacs-bin-common/stable emacs-common/stable emacs-el/stable (thus to GNU Emacs 28.2), and... I can now see the warnings: Warning (comp): po-mode.el:1068:14: Warning: ‘write-contents-hooks’ is an obsolete variable (as of 22.1); use ‘write-contents-functions’ instead. Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): po-mode.el:2113:2: Warning: (lambda nil \.\.\.) quoted with ' rather than with #' Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): po-mode.el:2569:37: Warning: ‘goto-line’ is for interactive use only; use ‘forward-line’ instead.

Disable showing Disable logging So, the bug is not fixed in gettext-el. I can actually see warnings in the Async-native-compile-log buffer with GNU Emacs 29 (current Debian/unstable version); see below. So, what has changed is that Emacs now hides the warnings. In short: * GNU Emacs 28 shows annoying warnings. This should be regarded as a bug, but this will probably be never fixed in this version for Debian/stable (and Debian/unstable is not affected as it has GNU Emacs 29), so I don't think that it is useful to clone the bug. * The warnings are still present (but hidden), so that the bug is actually not fixed. Since GNU Emacs 29 hides them, I've lowered the severity to minor. Here are the details of the warnings (note that the compilation of the other .el files does not yield any warning; this is specific to po-mode.el): In toplevel form: po-mode.el:180:2: Warning: custom-declare-variable `po-highlight-face' docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) po-mode.el:473:2: Warning: custom-declare-variable `po-gzip-uuencode-command' docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) po-mode.el:503:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) In po-create-overlay: po-mode.el:556:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) po-mode.el:843:2: Warning: defvar `po-auxiliary-cursor' docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) In po-mode: po-mode.el:1013:2: Warning: docstring has wrong usage of unescaped single quotes (use \= or different quoting) po-mode.el:1068:14: Warning: ‘write-contents-hooks’ is an obsolete variable (as of 22.1); use ‘write-contents-functions’ instead.
