i just tried moving my `(setq holiday-local-holidays ...)` to the
very first line of my config setup, and lo, that does result in
local holidays appearing in my Org agenda. However, my config
setup is a 3000+ line Org Babel file, in which i group together
things that are related in my mind, and the setup for the calendar
is about a third of the way through this. Thus ....

JAA> #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (eval-after-load 'holidays '(dolist
JAA> (holiday holiday-local-holidays) (add-to-list
'calendar-holidays JAA> holiday)) #+END_SRC
.... works better in my context, and is more robust, longer-term,
than my original suggestion to use
(setq calendar-holidays (append calendar-holidays
holiday-local-holidays))
So, thank you! Although i do note that my suggestion was
nevertheless within the guidelines of the documentation for
`calendar-holidays`:
Note that these variables have no effect on
`calendar-holidays' after it has been set (e.g. after the
calendar is loaded). In that case, customize
`calendar-holidays' directly.
i feel the above documentation could be improved by adding that
`eval-after-load` should probably by used in this context, e.g.:
Note that these variables have no effect on
`calendar-holidays' after it has been set (e.g. after the
calendar is loaded). In that case, customize
`calendar-holidays' directly, for example by using
`eval-after-load':
(eval-after-load 'holidays
'(dolist (holiday holiday-local-holidays)
(add-to-list 'calendar-holidays
holiday)))
i'll open a GNU Emacs issue to that effect. :-)
Thanks again!
Alexis.
