Recently I've ended up with some Emacs-27 installations on my Linux machines, but still on Emacs-26 on my Termux installations. I have almost no compatibility problems installations with my init files or packages, with just a little bit of added code to check a few things. But I do have problems with .elc incompatibilities, and I've had to resort to having separate 'elpa' directories based on version number. It was okay to sync packages and custom code across installations when they were all the same version, but not with a mixed setup. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU/Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB
