Re: [PATCH] Customizify org-babel-fortran-compiler

[Timothy <tecosaur@gmail.com>]

Hi Nico,

Thanks for sending in the patch. Seeing it pointed out, this seems like
a pretty obvious omission. This looks like it should be pretty easy to
merge :)

Four minor niggles with your commit message:
+ Since `defvar' and `defcustom' are elisp symbols, they should be
  quoted as such.
+ It's probably better to avoid shorthand like "X -> Y", and write out
  "Change X to Y" instead.
+ You have included "lisp/" in the commit subject, which isn't needed.
  Just "ob-fortran.el" or even "ob-fortran" is enough here.
+ Your commit subject goes over 50 chars, which is undesirable.

Here's what I'd recommend:

#+begin_example
ob-fortran: Use a defcustom for fortran compiler

* lisp/ob-fortran.el (org-babel-fortran-compiler): Change `defvar' to `defcustom'
so that the fortran compiler is customizable like almost all other org-babel
compilers.
#+end_example

This is rather minor though, I mention this mostly as a note for the
future :)
