* bug#39609: 26.3; Packaging system: Package documentation in the *Help* buffer

Hello Emacs

The Elisp manual (GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.22.30) of 2019-12-14) states that a README file in the content
directory of a package will be used as a package description (C-h P).

Please check

  (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages").

Yet this isn't working!  By looking at other packages It seems that
there must be a file `PACKAGE-NAME-readme.txt' BELOW the content
directory to get a description in the package help.

Thanks for resolving this issue


        Dieter

I tried `C-h P ada-mode RET' and got a *Help* buffer that included the
README file for the ada-mode package, so I seem to be unable to
reproduce this bug.

Do you have a precise recipe to reproduce it, starting from "emacs -Q"?

Hello Lars

thank you for looking into this!

I prepared a multi-file package for you.  Under Emacs 26.3 or earlier
you won't see any "long description" at all (unless you include a
PACKAGE-NAME-readme.txt in the package archive).  Under 27.1 it shows
now the ;;; Commentary: section of the PACKAGE-NAME.el file.  But NOT
the content of the accompanying README!

Please unpack the archive inform-1.4.tar into an empty DIRECTORY and
install the package interactively with package-install-file pointing to
the DIRECTORY.

Thank you for your help

       Dieter

The package didn't really clarify anything.

Could you instead give a precise recipe to reproduce the bug, starting
from "emacs -Q"?

OK, so the test case is

emacs -Q
M-x list-packages
then install "inform" from Melpa
And then

C-h P inform RET

?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If further progress can be made,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
