We follow the Calc exemple here: .el files for which autoloads need to be in Emacs loaddefs.el don't have this local variable set, and files for which autoloads are put into org-loaddefs.el do have this variable. This is for reducing the number of Org autoloads in loaddefs.el as it speeds up Emacs startup time. > It would be better that it's specified somewhere in the autoconf. > If I work on this would the patch be accepted? I can imagine some ad hoc function putting the autoloads were they belong, but this would be ad hoc. I guess you'll have first to explain why the current setup is problematic. -- Bastien
