Description Göran Uddeborg 2023-11-12 14:05:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
As far as I can tell, emacs-w3m doesn't work at all after upgrade to Emacs 29 in Fedora 39. Below I give one example of what I tried that didn't work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
emacs-29.1-2.fc39.x86_64
emacs-w3m-1.4.631-0.14.20180618cvs.fc39.noarch


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. M-x w3m-find-file


Actual results:
internal-macroexpand-for-load: Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-type-argument sequencep lambda)


Expected results:
A chance to select a file.


Additional info:
It seems the sources used for this package is very old. It seems they don't do numbered releases any more, but looking at https://github.com/emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m/commits/master there has been several commits since that old snapshot, Some of them explicitly mentions making the package compatible with more recent Emacs versions. Perhaps upgrading to the current sources is all that needs to be done.
