[Pkg-emacsen-addons] Bug#944249: gnuplot-mode does not work with emacs26

[Olaf Skibbe]

Package: gnuplot-mode
Version: 1:0.7.0-2014-12-31-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I hope that this is the right place for this report.

   * What led up to the situation?

Installing Debian stable/buster.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Opening a gnuplot file in emacs.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

No gnuplot-mode available.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

gnuplot-mode available in emacs.

Details:

On debian buster, one finds:

Package: elpa-gnuplot-mode
Version: 1:0.7.0-2014-12-31-1
[...]
Enhances: emacs, emacs24, emacs25

On the other hand:

Package: emacs
Version: 1:26.1+1-3.2+deb10u1

Hence, gnuplot-mode is not available in emacs.

I would appreciate gnuplot-mode available (backports would be fine).

Kind regards,
Olaf
