Package: emacs23-common
Version: 23.3+1-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that the read-only status of the compilation buffer is too strict with
debian emacs version (testing): the output from the subprocess is not displated
and gives an error instead: "buffer is read-only". This seems to be a bug of
the debian package because several people told me that the following code
behaves differently in non debian installation of emacs-23.3.1:
(let ((buf (get-buffer-create "xxx")))
(with-current-buffer buf
(compilation-mode))
(condition-case err
(progn
(call-process "/bin/cat"
"/proc/cpuinfo"
buf
t)
(message "No call-process error"))
(error
(message "call-process error: %s %s" (car err) (cdr err)
This produces "No call-process error" in regular emacs, and "call-process
error" with debian emacs-23.3.1. For the story this was found when using
Proofgeneral mode when launching background compilations.
Best regards,
Pierre
