Re: ESS 25.01.0 released on ELPA

Hey Gang,

I'm stuck. In the current released version of my distro, packages like ESS,=
 AUCTeX and polymode are installed from the sources and loaded the old-fash=
ioned way, that is:

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "ess-autoloads")
(require 'poly-R)
(require 'poly-noweb)

Furthermore, .Rnw files are associated with poly-noweb-mode:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw" . poly-noweb-mode))

If I visit a .Rnw file, I get both the Polymode and AUCTeX menus (LaTeX, Co=
mmand). The mode line indicates LaTeX/MP and PM (or PM-Rnw). All good.

Now, with my upcoming distro, the packages are installed using package-inst=
all and the package system is initialized in the site configuration file [i=
t contains (package-initialiaze)]. The thing is, when I visit a .Rnw file, =
I get the polymode menu, but only the built-in TeX ones (like TeX) and the =
mode line indicates LaTeX and PM.

The files contain the the file variable

%%% mode: noweb

I tried changing this to a few values, to no avail.

Anyone can help me around here?

TIA

v.
