Sorry, I was trying to elide the the less relevant parts, but I see it's
making things less understandable. Let me just spell it out in full:
Instead of this:
(format "%s%s%s%s"
(if (not delete) ""
(format "Packages to delete: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt delete)))
(if (not install) ""
(format "Packages to install: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt install)))
(if (not upgrade) ""
(format "Packages to upgrade: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt upgrade)))
"Proceed? ")
I think this would be a bit clearer:
(concat
(when delete
(format "Packages to delete: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt delete)))
(when install
(format "Packages to install: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt install)))
(when upgrade
(format "Packages to upgrade: %s. " (package-menu--list-to-prompt upgrade)))
"Proceed? ")
> It there a length limit in emacs code ?
Um, I thought there was a convention of generally trying to keep things
within 80 columns, but now I can't find anything saying that. I may
have just been thinking of other non-Emacs projects.
