Package: noweb
Version: 2.11b-7
Severity: normal
[ N.B.: Although I am filing this bug report against the noweb package, I
will soon clone it and reassign to the ess package, since this bug
actually regards both packages. ]
Both the noweb and the ess packages provide a noweb-mode.el file. However,
only the ess' one is seen by Emacs when both packages are installed:
$ emacs --batch --eval '(message (locate-library "noweb-mode"))'
[snip]
/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/ess/noweb-mode.elc
This happens, in part, because 50noweb.el fails to correctly initialize the
load path, by using the following code:
(autoload 'noweb-mode "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/noweb-mode.el"
"Minor (meta) mode for editing noweb sources." t)
In my humble opinion, this is more a feature than a bug because the
noweb-mode.el file provided by ess is much improved in respect to that from
the noweb package. However, users of noweb may get confused when the ess
pacakge is installed in the system.
At any rate, it would be good if the maintainers of both packages
collaborate with each other in order to provide a single noweb-mode.el file
and, thus, avoid confusion on the users side.
