Quotation marks in package description lead to malformed '*-pkg.el' #90

Closed pengjiz closed 2 months ago

Hi!

It seems that if the description in the source file contains quotation mark ", the generated package cannot be installed because they are not escaped. E.g., for ledger-mode:

;;; ledger-mode.el --- Helper code for use with the "ledger" command-line tool  -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

the generated 'ledger-mode-pkg.el' is:

(define-package "ledger-mode" "20240804.1623"
  "Helper code for use with the "ledger" command-line tool."
  ...)

which is malformed.

Presumably it is a2b2a790f99e0c5150a53507dfe868e54d0d9a6e?

Thanks!

Thanks for the report!

The fixed builds should be available in a few hours.

Thanks for the quick fix, @tarsius, I saw a different report about this too. It affects 39 packages currently: https://melpa.org/#/?q=%22

AFAICT it is indeed fixed. Thank you for your quick response!
