Details

Description: the gnuplot package installs the following file :

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dotemacs

however, the choice has been made by the maintainer not to install the emacs gnuplot-mode which comes with the tarball. Therefore, I don't see the point of installing a file containing informations about something that isn't installed.

I'd rather suggest a message at install time giving a hint on the gnuplot-mode package present in the AUR.

package version : 4.2.3-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  gnuplot has been build with emacs support since version 4.2.4-1 back in October 2008 so the file is relevant now

Too much fuzz about 1 file. Also IMO a post install msg for something that meaningless? No thanks.

Plus that file is less than a Kb in size.

I agree it's not even remotely a problem - nothing to discuss about, really. I was just pointing out something that appeared to me as a small inconsistency that would take a few minutes to fix. I would have contacted the maintainer directly if I had the possibility, rather than making all this useless noise.

@Snowman: care to assign this to Ronald van Haren? AFAI can see its still the same
