Good question, I got a mail "Tarball build failure for wrap-search" which seems to boil down to Missing copyright notice in wrap-search/wrap-search.el Maybe you should just add ;; Copyright: J Hacker (1997) to the headers? I think looking at how other people do it is probably the way to find out. Okay, I'm on it ... If you refer to the signing of a document, they should mail you and using a PDF overlay it can be solved digitally. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Don't indent that BTW! If you do the folding doesn't work with `elide-head-mode'. Also, after getting the error from GNU ELPA that I reported one should, apart from adding those two things, increment the version number so that ELPA will notice and compile the new version changes. The error message I got in a mail was clear for me to, after several days of not thinking about it, figure out the problem. But it could be more clear, possibly hyperlinking to or even including a boilerplate GNU ELPA package file to show exactly how it should look. I managed to solve it by looking at/in sml-mode.el which I already had from GNU ELPA, but it was a close call, and anywhere below that on the cognitive scale - for me personally, or inside another person - I suppose one would have been completely incomprehensive as to what it was that was suppose to happen.

Okay, so what problem(s) does it have? There has been some increased bad blood in recent days, if that is what you mean, with people getting frustrated at each other and so on - but from where I looked it appeared it was kept at a reasonable level? One should remember that frustration is often because people are passionate about their things, and involve in their activities, including discussing them here, so while frustration is negative in isolation, I think one cannot ban it without also harming the level of creativity among people. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
