subdirs.el weirdness
Hi everyone,
I noticed some strange behavior on my machine (Debian/unstable) with the
newest FSF Emacs 21 package:
After installing (and re-installing) emacs21_21.2-1_i386.deb there is no
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/subdirs.el even tho it's in the .deb.
There was no error message or warning during installation.
[Don't confuse this with /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/subdirs.el. That's
there. Also Bug #124221 seems related but doesn't cover this problem.]
Since I'm rather new to Debian I might miss something obvious. If so,
please tell me, otherwise I'll file a bug report. Of course, it would
be much better if somebody could help me pinpoint the problem.
Related to this: What is the policy on loading subdirectories (ie
handling of load-path)? Many emacs extensions, including sml-mode and
now (after I reported this as a bug) also tuareg-mode, add their
subdirectories `manually' to the load-path. Assuming subdirs.el works
this should be unnecessary.
Just trying to clear things up,
Chris
