Subject: [OT] Requiring packages which may be missing?
Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 10:53:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8760hudw4g.fsf@fu-berlin.de> (raw)

Hi,

This is more of a general emacs question.

I often use the same .emacs on various machines which may not have all
the packages I normally load.  To get around this I use the Fabrice
Niessen's 'try-require' function taken from

  http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/dot-emacs.html

Due to some recent  problems, I wanted to look at the  way I load things
and wondered how others deal with missing packages.

Cheers,

Loris

PS: I mainly use Emacs 25, but would be interested in Emacs 24
compatibility.
