Subject: bug#977: 23.0.60; doc string of `filesets-data'
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 10:23:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002a01c915c5$72b3dae0$0200a8c0@us.oracle.com> (raw)
This part of the doc string is incorrect:
:pattern DIR PATTERN ... PATTERN is a regular expression
comprising path and file pattern -- e.g. 'PATH/^REGEXP$'.
Note the `^' at the beginning of the file name pattern.
I think this text reflects an older version of filesets.el, before the
change in :pattern format. See doc string of
`filesets-update-pre010505' for an explanation of the change in
format.
IIUC, DIR is a pattern that matches a directory and PATTERN is a
pattern that matches files (and subdirs) in that directory. The old
format combinded DIR and PATTERN in one regexp, but they are now
separated, so the text about PATTERN "comprising path and file pattern
-- e.g. 'PATH/^REGEXP$'" is simply wrong. (Besides which, we don't
use "path" this way in the Emacs doc - we use "directory" instead.)
