Subject: Function to retrieve package version
Date: Tue, 21 May 2019 14:55:57 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2pnocmmn6.fsf@paulwrankin.com> (raw)

wrt. 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2019-05/msg00022.html

I would like an easy function that retrieves the version of the 
current package, e.g.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;;; my-great-package.el --- A great package

;; Copyright (c) 1952-2019  Free Software Foundation, Inc.

;; Author: Mr. Big Pants <mister@bigpants.com>
;; Version: 2.7.0
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.5"))

(defvar my-great-package-version
  (package-get-version))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    my-great-package-version
    -> "2.7.0"
