[Pkg-erlang-devel] Bug#588474: erlang-mode: new erlang-flymake.el incompatible with XEmacs

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: erlang-mode
Version: 1:14.a-dfsg-1
Severity: important

erlang-mode is no longer coinstallable with XEmacs (which I have
installed mainly for compatibility testing, FWIW) because flymake, on
which erlang-flymake.el relies, is specific to GNU Emacs:

    Compiling
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erlang/erlang-flymake.el...
    While compiling toplevel forms in file /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erlang/erlang-flymake.el:
      !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "flymake"))
    >>Error occurred processing erlang-flymake.el: Cannot open load file: flymake

To compensate, I would suggest adjusting the emacs-install script to
set FILES conditionally depending on whether it is working with XEmacs
or GNU Emacs; alternatively, you could conservatively arrange for it
to bail altogether when encountering XEmacs, which upstream evidently
doesn't support.  At any rate, could you please take care of it?

Thanks!
