Dear AUCTeX maintainers, Currently, the .dir-locals.el file is included in the GNU ELPA tarball[1], which causes this compilation error[2] when doing AOT native compilation for Emacs lisp packages in NixOS.
Error: wrong-type-argument ("/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el" proper-list-p (log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style . t)) mapbacktrace(#f(compiled-function (evald func args flags) #<bytecode -0xf42c55d2510e41>)) debug-early-backtrace() debug-early(error (wrong-type-argument "/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el" proper-list-p (log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style . t))) signal(wrong-type-argument ("/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el" proper-list-p (log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style . t))) comp--native-compile("/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el") batch-native-compile() command-line-1(("--eval" "(setq large-file-warning-threshold nil)" "--eval" "(setq byte-compile-error-on-warn nil)" "-f" "batch-native-compile" "/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el")) command-line() normal-top-level() Wrong type argument: "/nix/store/<hash>-emacs-auctex-14.0.6/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/auctex-14.0.6/.dir-locals.el", proper-list-p, (#<symbol log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style at 424> . #<symbol t at 455>) We can workaround this by skipping native compilation for .dir-locals.el. However, I do not think .dir-locals.el has to be included in the GNU ELPA tarball. In addition, MELPA ignores[3] that file by default. Could you exclude .dir-locals.el from GNU ELPA tarball? FYI, :ignored-files[4] of GNU ELPA specification can be used to do this.
