Hello,
When elint'ing simple .emacs files such as:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (require 'package)
;; archives from which to fetch
(setq package-archives
(append '(("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("ELPA" . "http://tromey.com/elpa/"))
package-archives))
;; ...
)
;; ensure a file ends in a newline when it is saved
(setq require-final-newline t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I get hundreds of warnings (in the real case, with many more lines in my
.emacs file), such as:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Linting d:/Users/fni/src/emacs-leuven/elint.el
In top level expression:
elint.el:1:Warning: Setting previously unbound symbol: package-archives
elint.el:1:Warning: Reference to unbound symbol: package-archives
In top level expression:
elint.el:16:Warning: Setting previously unbound symbol: require-final-newline
Linting finished.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I don't understand them: why is `package-archives' said to be unknown, while
it will only execute after the lib `package' has been loaded?
So, elint does not load the packages? Then, what's the purpose of elint? Why
real warnings should I be aware of (and how)?
Best regards,
Seb
