[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#653307: gnu-smalltalk-el: help system smalltalk-mode.el source access

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: gnu-smalltalk-el
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: minor
File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gnu-smalltalk-el.el

In emacs23,

    M-x describe-function smalltalk-mode

doesn't have a link button to go to the smalltalk-mode.el source.

I believe it's because the smalltalk-mode.el file in not with the
smalltalk-mode.elc.  Various things in emacs work better when the .el
for a .elc is in the same directory.  The easiest way to have that in
the debian compiling is to change the install script from

    cp ${FILES} ${ELCDIR}
    ...
    rm -f *.el

to instead symlink the sources for compiling and then leave them there
(to be removed with the .elc's on package removal)

    ln -s ...
