Bug#1060837: update-auctex-elisp --daemon creates INITFILE in /

2024-01-15 Thread Kurt Hornik 
Package: auctex
Version: 13.2-1

Invoking

  /usr/sbin/update-auctex-elisp --daemon

creates and leaves behind INITFILE in /, from

if [ -n "${DAEMON_MODE}" -a "${DAEMON_MODE}" = 'true' ]; then
export _UPDATE_AUCTEX_ELISP_DAEMON_MODE=${DAEMON_MODE}
cd / && nohup ${0} ${_FLAVORS} /dev/null &

and

INITFILE=$(mktemp ./-el)

Perhaps best to always create INITFILE in /tmp?

This is with current Debian testing/unstable.

Bug#1042889: Debian PR #1042889

2023-08-10 Thread Kurt Hornik 
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.

 Your simple patch looks pretty good, and I applied it to build 3.2.1-2
 rightaway.  It should also carry over to configure.ac which is probably what
 should have gotten patched too ...

 That's what I thought, too, but I couldn't find anything makeinfo
 related in configure.ac.  It's been a while since I had to touch
 configure*, though.

 I've attached the patch again for Kurt.

Thanks.  Already fixed by Brian Ripley in c68605.

 Ok, so quick question to Kurt:  Do you know which autoconf version you
 are running?

Yes, of course.  My Autoconf is the one from Debian testing, but this is
not what gets used for creating confgure: svn diff gives

Are you saying one should use at least 2.64?  This was released

 I will keep that in mind. Fortran parts often change less frequently

 I will patch R 2.10.1 by hand as you suggested, but we should liaise
 with Kurt to make sure everything is tied up correctly upstream.

 Dunno. Or else maybe I will have to re-run autoconf each time?  But
 isn't that worse?

Re-running autoconf on your end certainly is the simplest solution.
