I have the package working perfectly under Fedora 9. But after a recent update I noticed that the emacs status bar fonts all got corrupted. I am using the Liberation fonts. However, the staus bar displays its text in some kind of (ugly) bold bitmap font. Any idea? First of all thanks for maintaining the repository. I have the package working perfectly under Fedora 9.

]]> Comment on New RPM-Spec-Mode by Chip Coldwell http://bradmwalker.com/2008/03/31/new-rpm-spec-mode/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Chip Coldwell Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:41:49 +0000 http://bradmwalker.com/?p=9#comment-20 Actually, the problem with signing rpms is now fixed in the patched rpm-spec-mode that comes with emacs-22.2-1. So functionally, it is exactly the same as the unpatched version, except that it uses a real compilation buffer that is read-only. Code here: (progn (defun list->string (lst) (if (cdr lst) (concat (car lst) " " (list->string (cdr lst))) (car lst))) (compilation-start (list->string (cons rpm-spec-build-command buildoptions)) 'rpmbuild-mode)) (if (and rpm-spec-sign-gpg (not rpm-no-gpg)) (let ((build-proc (get-buffer-process (get-buffer (compilation-buffer-name "rpmbuild" nil nil)))) (rpm-passwd-cache (read-passwd "GPG passphrase: "))) (process-send-string build-proc (concat rpm-passwd-cache "\n"))))) Actually, the problem with signing rpms is now fixed in the patched rpm-spec-mode that comes with emacs-22.2-1.

Two workarounds in addition to alternatives --config emacs exist:

  1. Uninstall emacs then install the new version instead of yum upgrade 'emacs*'.
  2. Use alternatives --remove emacs <full-path-to-missing-binaries> to remove broken symlinks.
