Subject: bug#74627: .dir-locals.el warning messages are confusing
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2024 18:20:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALG+76fJ3dh2ZQhRia3Gm2vvXiaD+3QQtHbc0OWi7yF8i3AP=w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Warnings about potential security issues should be easy to understand,
but the warnings produced by .dir-locals.el are not. When I open a
file in the Emacs source code it shows:
The local variables list in /home/bjourne/p/emacs/
or .dir-locals.el contains values that may not be safe (*).
Why does it say "or"? What does the asterisk (*) mean? Could the
descriptions for "!" and "i" be clearer so it is more obvious what is
applied and what is ignored?
