Subject: var `date' lacks a prefix warnings
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:04:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2lilhs4v7.fsf@btinternet.com> (raw)
Regarding the remaining Org-mode `lacks a prefix' warnings and
particularly in light of the recent message on emacs.devel [1] would it
not be sufficient to simply alias date and entry locally:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvaralias 'org--date 'date)
(defvaralias 'org--entry 'entry)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Presumably this would be backwardly-compatible, and given a subsequent
name change in diary-lib.el a very simple integration test could catch
that very quickly.
If I get a positive response I can perhaps look at a patch and tests,
but if my understanding is amiss I will appreciate the heads-up.
Best, Martyn
p.s. I should point out that my personal view is that a serious well
maintained Emacs library such as Org-mode should have a zero warning
policy for official releases.
