Subject: subr-x on older Emacsen
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 15:08:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A003F9-F2D7-454C-B148-31A6C2D46C1F@lunaryorn.com> (raw)
Hello,
I’d like to use the new subr-x library in my Emacs Lisp projects, and I’m searching for advice on how to handle backwards compatibility.
As you know, subr-x was only recently introduced in Emacs trunk, and is not available in any Emacs release. Currently, I simply copy those functions that I need into my code, guarding their definition with `(unless (features 'subr-x) …)'.
This scales poorly across many projects, obviously, so I’d like to know if there is a better approach to handle this problem. Is their a compatibility package for subr-x on GNU ELPA, similar to cl-lib?
Greetings,
Sebastian Wiesner
