Following on from discussion at: http://curiousprogrammer.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/compiling-at-emacs-startup I humbly submit the following bug report: From: <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: 23.0.91; startup.el should choose .emacs ahead of .emacs.elc if .emacs is newer --text follows this line-- Currently startup.el warns if .emacs.elc is newer than .emacs however this hides subtle bugs if people don't carefully watch their logs/mode line during startup. Although many people have clever auto-compile magic every tiome they save .emacs this often break down when they pull in updates via SCMs. It should still warn, but by default it should go with the newest version. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ It is far better to be deceived than to be undeceived by those we love.
