Description of problem: The mercurial package has add-on subpackages for Emacs and Xemacs, but doesn't conform to the Emacs add-on packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Emacs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mercurial-1.0-4.fc9
Created attachment 301354 [details] Patch for spec file to conform to Emacs guidelines Patch for spec file to conform to Emacs guidelines.
Re-opening the bug: You removed the -p option when installing the *.el and *.elc files. The result is they will both have the same time stamp. If you then install both the emacs-mercurial and emacs-mercurial-el packages, emacs may load the uncompiled .el files rather than the elc files (which is slower) believing the uncompiled files to be newer than the compiled files. The -p is important, I didn't just add it for decoration :). As an aside, you should always use the -p option when installing files from the tarball.
