Subject: 27.2; (battery) errors in Android app Termux
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:08:33 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In the Termux application on Android, evaluating `(battery)' results in
an error due to `/sys/' not being readable on non-rooted phones.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In termux, install Emacs with `pkg install emacs'.
2. Launch Emacs with `emacs -Q'
3. In the `*scratch*' buffer, type and evaluate `(battery)'
4. The expected output due to `/sys/' being unreadable should be the
   text `Battery status not available', however it errors with the
   attached backtrace.

I made a patch I attached to this message in an attempt to prevent
this issue, but I have not had the time to test it yet on my own
phone. It is made from the current `master' branch.

The patch makes sense to me, so I've applied it to Emacs 29.

This change was small enough to apply without assigning copyright to the
FSF, but for future patches you want to submit, it might make sense to
get the paperwork started now, so that subsequent patches can be applied
speedily. Would you be willing to sign such paperwork?

Of course, where should I begin?
