Some of the recent changes to the emacs code have used functions introduced in emacs 24. The functions used are read-char-choice and setq-local. This changeset adds compatability functions to notmuch-lib so that it should work on emacs 23. ---
Version 1 of this patch (with some discussion) is at id:1477191835-17828-1-git-send-email-markwalters1...@gmail.com The general consensus is that we should not define functions outside our namespace, even when they are just backports of functions from later emacs. rlb on irc gave one additional reason not mentioned earlier in the thread -- it could be that some other package choses to test for the setq-local say and perhaps draws incorrect conclusions about the environment. In particular this would be a case where we were breaking otherwise working packages. I think it makes sense to included the whole of read-char-choice, not some cutdown version, as we may use other functionality from it later (eg help-forms etc), and it would be confusing if the change only worked on emacs 24. Finally, I have two questions 1) please could someone with emacs 23 see if the testsuite passes? My system with emacs 23 is so outdated the test suite doesn't run (wrong python versions I think). 2) Is the copyright notice I have included above the two functions sufficient, and suitably placed?
