[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#685040: gnu-smalltalk-el: emacs24 no inhibit-first-line-modes-regexps

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: gnu-smalltalk-el
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: normal
File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gnu-smalltalk-el.el

emacs24 has an incompatible change removing the variable
inhibit-first-line-modes-regexps, causing 50gnu-smalltalk-el.el to error
out on

  Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gnu-smalltalk-el.el (source)...
  Error while loading 50gnu-smalltalk-el: Symbol's value as variable is void: inhibit-first-line-modes-regexps

on

  (push "\\.star\\'" inhibit-first-line-modes-regexps)

and consequently not do the further things in 50gnu-smalltalk-el.el,
including not making an autoload for `smalltalk-mode' which then causes
file-mode error on visiting a .st file.

  C-x C-f /tmp/foo.st
  =>
  File mode specification error: (void-function smalltalk-mode)


There's still a `inhibit-first-line-modes-suffixes', if that's close
enough, though it too threatens further incompatible change and says
`inhibit-local-variables-suffixes' or `inhibit-local-variables-regexps'
for binary files, if .star is a binary format.
