Re: [O] ox-taskjuggler on MELPA useful despite org-plus-contrib

[Simon Guest]

This is indeed useful, thanks.

I think this may be best done by some startup code, which when installing org-plus-contrib with require-package, deletes any existing org package, and makes this dummy org package.

Would it be useful if such code appeared within the org-plus-contrib package itself, so we could have this sort of usage in our .emacs:

(require-package 'org-plus-contrib)

(org-plus-contrib-remove-and-stub-org-pkg)

I'm not particularly attached to the name, but you get the point.

What do you think?

cheers,

Simon

Although you don't say which package you tried, I would guess that the
"org" package is specified as a dependency, likely with some minimum
version.

doesn't exist.  You can fake that in various way, for instance by
creating a package directory "org-21991231" and putting an org-pkg.el
with

(define-package "org" "21991231" "Fake Org package for dependency resolution" 'nil)

in it.
