I use '.emacs-pre' for
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/dir")
like things. My '.emacs' load this file before any other action.
I maintain '.emacs' under VCS but as '.emacs-pre' different
for different host it is out of the VCS.
In old days of Emacs 22.x I use:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/remember-2.0")
(require 'remember)
in '.emacs-pre'. As Emacs 23.x come I put:
(when (>= emacs-major-version 23)
(require 'remember))
to '.emacs'.
Below (require 'remember) code I use:
(when (featurep 'remember)
(add-to-list 'xxx-alist "xxx-conf")
)
so firstly mode loading then customized (NOTE: add-to-list fail if
xxx-alist is not defined).
Next I think move from '.emacs-pre' all 'require' and put to
'.emacs':
(condition-case nil
(require 'remember)
(file-error nil)
)
or more shortly:
(ignore-errors
(require 'remember)
)
so .emacs-pre use only for 'load-path' setup.
This code allow avoid version checks and (load/require ...)
in '.emacs-pre'.
Also I learn:
(eval-after-load 'xxx
'(progn
(add-to-list 'xxx-alist "xxx-conf")
))
to speedup Emacs loading (NOTE: this code come
from requirement to update xxx-alist value, not to set own value).
I also use:
for file in $(FILES_MODE_EL); do \
cp -f $$file $(HOME)/.emacs.d/my-lisp; \
done
$(EMACS) --batch \
--eval='(let ( (generated-autoload-file
"~/.emacs.d/my-lisp/autoload-my.el") ) (update-directory-autoloads
"~/.emacs.d/my-lisp") )'
in Makefile to setup autoloads for own modes.
Please give another tips, may be I missing something useful?
