Subject: 24.1.50; xesam.el not loadable

Hi,

xesam.el is not loadable.  Just try it.

It's because of this expression:

(defvar xesam-mode-map
  (let ((map (copy-keymap special-mode-map)))
    (set-keymap-parent xesam-mode-map widget-keymap)
    map))

which refers to `xesam-mode-map' before it has been defined.  I guess
it should be

(defvar xesam-mode-map
  (let ((map (copy-keymap special-mode-map)))
    (set-keymap-parent map widget-keymap)
    map))


Thanks,

Michael.

Yes, looks like this.

However, I'm curious what you plan to do with xesam.el. The XESAM
project is stalled since its release 1.0 in 2009, the project home page
does not exist any longer. I'm planning to propose xesam.el being
obsolete. It's sad.

Best regards, Michael.

I didn't know that - yes, it's sad.  I just had a look at the file to
see what it's for.  Then I realized that I can't load it.  But I'm not
using it so far.


Regards,

Michael.

Well, I've fixed the reported bug, so you could still play with it,
until xesam.el is obsoleted.
