bug#44270: 24.5; EMMA failures while installing

[John Gilmore]

M-x list-packages
picked emms, hit Install.
I've included the *Compile-Log* buffer contents, which include one
error and several warnings.

This was the first time I tried using ELPA and the first time I tried
installing EMMS.  I have no idea if it is working, I just wanted to
report these errors and warnings.  I was inspired to try it by the
gnu-announce email about the latest EMMS and how this is the last
tarball release.

It seems like EMMS requires seq, but that it's not installed in your
Emacs?  My guess is that your Emacs (24.5) is too old to use EMMS.

But EMMS should specify that, I guess?

Indeed, I think EMMS should add a dependency on seq:

    ;; Package-Requires: ((cl-lib "0.5") (seq "2.22"))

Perhaps it should add a dependency also on Emacs, but I don't know which
version it would need.

Yoni, could you please take a look at this?  This might warrant
releasing a new version of the package on GNU ELPA.

The code which requires seq (in emms-browser.el) was added in 2017
(contemporaneous with Emacs 25.2), but of course Emacs 24.5 dates back
from 2015.

I'll see if it possible to re-write that code without seq and therefore
to regain that backward compatibility. If so, it will take a good while
before it is done.

Should I add a dependency on a particular version of Emacs in the
meantime?

I think it's better if you add a dependency on seq actually.  The
package system should automatically install it on old versions, and the
GNU ELPA package has compatibility code that makes it work with Emacs
version 24.x.

Unless you want Emacs 23 compatibility, I don't think it is strictly
necessary to get rid of the seq dependency.
