Bug#273632: semantic: load-path addition order circumvents byte-compiled elisp

[Dean Scarff]

Package: semantic
Version: 1:1.0beta3b-1
Severity: normal

This bug applies to several of the CEDET files in
`/etc/emacs/site-start.d/', all are maintained by Masayuki Hatta at
the time of this report so I won't cross-post.

The lines in 52semantic.el

  (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/")

etc. occur *after* the addition of the flavour-specific byte-compiled
versions:

  [ ... ] (setq load-path (cons package-dir load-path))

This is contrary to debian-emacs-policy:

  ``The load-path for a given emacs flavor must include /etc/<flavor>
  and /etc/emacs in that order ...'' (s.3)

Steps to replicate:

  emacs -nw

Look for ``Loading semantic-idle (source)'' in *Messages*).  Also
check load-path from within emacs:
"/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/semantic" occurs after
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/".

Fix:

Shift the (add-to-list ...) lines up above the expression containing
the setq.
