Originally, I built the load-path with site-lisp paths first, then
packages. There was a modest ~10% startup boost doing this, because
there were considerably more site packages loaded at startup than
plugins.
However, this meant built-in packages would get precedence over plugins,
which is undesirable. In org's case, I simply modified the load-path
in lang/org/init.el. However, this issue has cropped up again in #340.
Evidently, that 10% boost may not be worth the risk it imposes, so I've
rearranged the load-path with packages first.
+ map-delete is shorter and faster than assq-delete-all
+ map-put is simpler than the delete-then-set workflow
+ map-merge is great for merging default and user settings
`get-file-buffer` returns nil if no buffer for that file already exists.
In an edge case on Windows, `update-file-autoloads` doesn't leave
a hanging buffer, possibly ignoring its SAVE-AFTER argument. Using
`find-file-noselect` fixes this, which will open a buffer if one doesn't
already exist.
Now that the org ELPA archive has https support, we can add it to
package-archives. This fixes some 'org is unavailable' errors when
installing org packages that have declared earlier versions of org as
a dependency.
This also makes installing a newer version of org-mode much simpler.
Woo!
This causes errors because of arbitrary module load order. This happens
in Emacs 25.x, because hash-table-keys there uses maphash, while in
Emacs 26+ it uses cl-loop.
Local cache and data files were stored in a parent folder named after
your host, because I'd symlink the same config across computers via
dropbox. This would cause byte-compile issues in packages, so I stopped
doing this.
Now that each computer gets its own clone, host-namespaced local
directories are unnecessary. There's no other benefit to having them.
User module (named after user-login-name) is no longer automatically
loaded or detected, and must be explicitly mentioned in the doom! macro
of your emacs init.el file.
Also, any module can now have an init.el file, which will be run before
any modules are loaded.
Use-package broke in a recent update, as with Doom, since it relies so
heavily on it. To combat this issue arising again, use-package will be
installed from melpa-stable from now on.
