List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2016 19:04:04 -0000 devel/try-emacs-mua provides an easy way to try and experiment with the notmuch emacs client distributed in emacs subdirectory of the notmuch source tree. try-emacs-mua starts a new emacs process and if initial checks pass *scratch* buffer is filled with information of how to begin. Normal emacs command line arguments can be used, like -q or -Q. These arguments are appended verbatim to the starting emacs process. If the emacs version in use is smaller than 24.4, special care is taken to ensure that notmuch*.elc files older than corresponding .el files are not loaded. Since emacs 24.4, setting `load-prefer-newer' variable takes care of this. --- less talk, more diff, since v5 ( id:1451946112-23573-1-git-send-email-tomi.ollila@iki.fi ) (line numbers missing, as I did this by diffing patches...) = thinko /// -;; Try the notmuch emacs client located in ../notmuch/emacs directory *** +;; Try the notmuch emacs client located in ../emacs/ directory = the change /// -(setq initial-buffer-choice t) ;; *scratch* buffer *** +(setq initial-buffer-choice nil *** + inhibit-startup-screen t) = combined setq (verified with (setq a 1 b a) ... => b = 1) /// - (setq try-notmuch-source-directory (directory-file-name pdir)) /// - (setq try-notmuch-emacs-directory (concat pdir "emacs/")) /// - (setq load-path (cons try-notmuch-emacs-directory load-path))) *** + (setq try-notmuch-source-directory (directory-file-name pdir) *** + try-notmuch-emacs-directory (concat pdir "emacs/") *** + load-path (cons try-notmuch-emacs-directory load-path))) = how did I miss this change in v5? /// - (insert "Notmuch cli executable " *** + (insert "Notmuch CLI executable " = clearer (it is effectively the same) /// - (set-buffer "*scratch*") /// - (lisp-interaction-mode) /// - (goto-char (point-min)) /// - (forward-line 2) /// - (set-buffer-modified-p nil))) *** + (with-current-buffer "*scratch*" *** + (lisp-interaction-mode) *** + (goto-char (point-min)) *** + (forward-line 2) *** + (set-buffer-modified-p nil)))) devel/try-emacs-mua | 157 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 157 insertions(+) create mode 100755 devel/try-emacs-mua diff --git a/devel/try-emacs-mua b/devel/try-emacs-mua new file mode 100755 index 000000000000..b0a62c25b28f --- /dev/null +++ b/devel/try-emacs-mua @@ -0,0 +1,157 @@ +#!/bin/sh +:; set -x; exec "${EMACS:-emacs}" --debug-init --load "$0" "$@"; exit +;; +;; Try the notmuch emacs client located in ../emacs/ directory +;; +;; Run this without arguments; emacs window opens with some usage information +;; +;; Authors: Tomi Ollila +;; +;; http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsScripts was a useful starting point... +;; +;; Licence: GPLv3+ +;; + +(message "Starting '%s'" load-file-name) + +(set-buffer "*scratch*") + +(setq initial-buffer-choice nil + inhibit-startup-screen t) + +(when (featurep 'notmuch) + (insert " +Notmuch has been loaded to this emacs (during processing of the init file) +which means it is (most probably) loaded from different source than expected. + +Please run \"" (file-name-nondirectory load-file-name) +"\" with '-q' (or '-Q') as an argument, to disable +processing of the init file -- you can load it after emacs has started\n +exit emacs (y or n)?
