bug#1026: `lisp' customization initialization, setting and saving

[Allan Mui]

When I try to use the language customization buffer for `lisp'  all values
are initially either `unknown' or `uninitialized'. There is an error when
loading the buffer. When I then try to manually initialize the values to
the default ones
they are not saved or even set in some cases. I do not have a lisp
interpreter installed.

Thanks, this was fixed a few days ago.

To fix, edit the :type of lisp-indent-offset in
emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el to read as below and recompile the file.

(defcustom lisp-indent-offset nil
  "If non-nil, indent second line of expressions that many more
  columns."
  :group 'lisp
  :type '(choice (const nil) integer))

I made the code change in `lisp-mode.el' and byte-compiled but the
error persists. Maybe another change was made in the source code
to fix the problem. I can wait until the next binaries release.

I'm sorry, I forgot to say that this is one of those cases where you
need to rebuild the whole emacs executable after byte-compiling the
file.
