I've patched it into emacs 20.6, it should be available in next rawhide (20.6-3 or higher) |
As shipped, emacs's shell-script mode and supporting utilities don't know anything about bash2. As a result, when one opens a file whose first line is #!/bin/bash2 it comes up in text mode, rather than shell-script mode. Easily fixed with a M-x shell-script-mode, but still annoying. To fix, run the following when emacs is initialized: (require 'sh-script) (setq interpreter-mode-alist (cons '("bash2" . sh-mode) interpreter-mode-alist)) (setq sh-ancestor-alist (cons '(bash2 . jsh) sh-ancestor-alist)) (setq sh-alias-alist (cons '(bash2 . bash) sh-alias-alist)) I'm not really sure where to put this: /etc/skel/.emacs will only work for new users, and I don't know that I like putting that (require 'sh-script) in site-init.el before a build---why load packages when you're not sure you're going to need them? Perhaps someone who is more skilled with emacs-lisp than I am can find a better solution.
