tabulated-list

[François Pinard]

Hi, Org people.

This morning, I could not load Org because ox.el calls function
tabulated-list, which does not seem to exist on this version of Emacs.
So I fetched the one at https://github.com/sigma/tabulated-list.el to
get going, but others will likely have the same problem.

Indeed, I introduced this change because I was reinventing the wheel in
`org-export-stack'. I hadn't realized it was emacs24 only.

Bastien, is there another solution besides reverting the commit?

Could tabulated-list.el be conveyed within Org as org-tabulated-list.el
and loaded only if tabulated-list is not already available?

Not Bastien, but until a more permanent solution is found (if any) you could do
the same thing as with htmlize.el and commit it into contrib/lisp and instruct
folks to add this to ORG_ADD_CONTRIB if needed.  Installing from ELPA would be
preferred, however, just like for htmlize.

No problem, that will do, too ;)

Well I'd rather revert it then. Too many headaches foreseen. The commit
was mostly cosmetic anyway.

Since the emacs scratch buffer is read-only in emacs 23.4 on debian, I 
couldn't get elpa to install from its original web site.  This was by 
downloading a piece of elisp code then using control-j just after the 
code's last character.  Is there something else I should try to get elpa 
to install?

Hi,

note that I uploaded this tabulated-list.el version as version 0 (since
unfortunately the builtin package doesn't have a version number...) in
marmalade. So that if org is made to depend on the tabulated-list
package *and* you have marmalade activated, M-x package-install should
handle the rest.

I guess a proper solution would have to have those packages in the
official ELPA as well, so that they can be made backward-compatible. But
all in all, packages for older Emacs versions are a mess.

Yann.

FWIW, yes, I cannot think of another good solution than reverting the
commit.  If it was just cosmetic, that's even better.

Best,
