Summary: Review Request: emacs-muse https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181404 ------- Additional Comments From jonathan.underwood@xxxxxxxxx 2006-04-25 06:33 EST ------- Of course I test building of the packages using mock. However, I can't test *installation* on all platforms, as I simply don't have access to them all. What you're proposing relies upon elisp compilation at install time, not package build time. Mock goes a long way to testing package building, but not package installation. The elisp api is well understood to be inconsistent between flavours, and unstable between versions within a flavour. This isn't a problem, as packages get updated as the api changes. But, your proposal would have packages automatically triggered to be byte compiled for all emacs versions as they're installed, irrespective of whether the package has been updated for the relevant api... this will inevitably lead to broken packages installed on users machines, UNLESS there is a way to control what versions of emacs the package is byte compiled for on installation/triggering. That may be possible? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
