From c28ac94abfc03ca61c480882db73313bf06d237f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 08:19:37 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] emacs: Add commentary for MELPA users We have a steady trickle of people using notmuch-emacs from melpa with distro packages of notmuch, and then being confused when it doesn't work. Try to warn people what a foot-gun this is; this commentary should be copied to the melpa web site. --- emacs/notmuch.el | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index 0aeff560..44402f8a 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -49,7 +49,20 @@ ;; Have fun, and let us know if you have any comment, questions, or ;; kudos: Notmuch list (subscription is not ;; required, but is available from https://notmuchmail.org). - +;; +;; Note for MELPA users (and others tracking the development version +;; of notmuch-emacs): +;; +;; This emacs package needs a fairly closely matched version of the +;; notmuch program.
