Public bug reported: Binary package hint: emacs23
If you are in a source repository, emacs loads the version control package for that repository in batch mode. The problem can be reproduced as follows: # Create an empty directory. $ mkdir tmp $ cd tmp # Verify there is no problem in the empty directory. # These commands should not produce any output. $ emacs -Q --batch --load /dev/null $ emacs -Q --batch --load /dev/null foo # Pretend to put the directory under version control. $ mkdir .git .hg .svn CVS $ touch CVS/Entries .svn/entries # Verify that the first command is still ok. $ emacs -Q --batch --load /dev/null # Verify that the second command prints the loading messages # which are inappropriate for batch mode. $ emacs -Q --batch --load /dev/null foo Loading vc-cvs... Loading vc-svn... Loading vc-git... Loading vc-hg... ** Affects: emacs23 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- emacs loads version control packages in batch mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/633617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
