Why is GNU AUCTeX 11.89.6 not available from ELPA yet?

Why is GNU AUCTeX 11.89.6 not available from ELPA yet?

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

last Friday evening I've released GNU AUCTeX 11.89.6 on ELPA.  Usually,
it only takes some hours until it becomes available in the package
manager but this time it's still not there.

Is there any problem I'm not aware of?

Bye,
Tassilo

Could it be that ./auctex/style/bidi.el is missing a copyright header, which would have broken the ELPA build?

Cheers,
Clément.

Yes, it seems that elpa doesn't build because of that (I already
wondered why).  Can please somebody have a look and fix the problem?


TIA,

Michael.

I'll try to do it this evening.  And now I also noticed the mail telling
us AUCTeX devs about the problem.

Ok, the problem was that the new bidi.el had a slightly wrong Copyright
header.  It was

  ;; Copyright (C) Free Software Foundation

but should have been

  ;; Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I don't know if the missing year or "Inc." caused the problem.

Anyway, when fixing that I also added the missing "Inc." to
multi-prompt.el, and then

  $ make externals check_copyrights

failed because the original exception for multi-prompt.el hasn't been
used anymore.  So I removed the exception from elpa/copyright_exceptions
(Stefan, I hope that's been ok), and now I hope that I've been faster
than the ELPA release building task.

So I hope that GNU AUCTeX 11.89.6 will be available within a few hours.

Bye,

Good, yes, thank you,
