  • Don't make Emacs keymaps -- define them.
    1 project | /r/emacs | 14 Jun 2023
    With the Compat library you can use define-keymap right away in your packages. See also my post about Compat.
  • Which package manager should I use?
    5 projects | /r/emacs | 12 Apr 2023
    Exactly, I think printing a loud warning is a perfectly acceptable solution. The note should ideally tell the user to ensure that dependencies are met. It makes sense to teach users a little better about the limitations of Straight or Elpaca with respect to dependency handling since I've seen many reports across the ecosystem where people didn't properly update dependencies. I usually bump dependencies when I really need new functionality. In particular with our Compat package, versions are meaningful and should be respected.
  • The Compat Elisp Library: A Package Maintainer’s Best Friend
    1 project | /r/emacs | 16 Mar 2023
    Compat co-maintainer here. Thank you for writing this post! One minor correction: Compat supports Emacs 24.4 and newer. Please link to the upstream repository at https://github.com/emacs-compat/compat instead of the Straight mirror, since the mirror does not preserve the Git history.
  • Small elisp question
    2 projects | /r/emacs | 4 Feb 2023
    As /u/usaoc said, ensure-list can be used for this purpose - I use it all the time in my packages. I recommend to take advantage of the Compat package from GNU ELPA, such that you can use all new Emacs APIs even in packages targeting older Emacs versions. I am the maintainer of Compat. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/10iep0o/compat_29130/ for more background.

  • Compat 29.1.3.0
    6 projects | /r/emacs | 22 Jan 2023
    I released version 29.1.3.0 of Compat, the Elisp forwards-compatibility library on GNU ELPA. This library may be interesting for you, if you want to use newer Emacs developments in your packages without breaking backward compatibility with older Emacs versions.

    2 projects | /r/emacs | 19 Jul 2022
    I updated some packages which included updating the dependency compat.el to 28.1.2.0
