Good evening Eric,

oh, thanks for catching this. Do you have time to submit a patch? If not I'll keep this issue open and fix it as soon as I'm able.

I'm just starting with this git-business, so I'm afraid submitting a patch is not for the immediate future… but I'll give it a try if a) you didn't beat me to it, b) installed emacs+starter kit and got org-mode and it's agenda working and c) I know how to submit patches…

BTW, I have a question on the org-based starter kit. OK to ask?

Cheers,
Peter.

the easiest way to handle patches on github is by

1. forking the repository
2. making the changes locally
3. committing the changes to your personal fork
4. sending me a pull request
   github has nice instructions walking through this process

RE: org-start-kit-based questions please do ask away

OK, thanks. When loading the system- and user-specific files, it seems that first the .el is loaded, then the .org. Doesn't that load it twice? Or does emacs keeps tracks of already loaded files?

Thanks,
Peter.

The .org file is never loaded, rather the code embedded in the .org file
is written to the .el file, which is then loaded.

Good morning Erik,

The .org file is never loaded, rather the code embedded in the .org file
is written to the .el file, which is then loaded.

Yes, I understand that, but the code first loads the existing .el
file, then it uses babel to tangle the org file and to load the
resulting .el file. So, it first loads a possibly out-of-date .el
file, and then a freshly created one (which will be loaded first the
next time you start emacs).

Or am I missing something?

Cheers,.
Peter.

I believe you are mistaken. The old .el file is not loaded. I just
checked explicitly on my local system, and when an existing .el file is
present it is not loaded.

then it uses babel to tangle the org file and to load the resulting
.el file. So, it first loads a possibly out-of-date .el file, and then
a freshly created one (which will be loaded first the next time you
start emacs).

I believe you are missing something, please confirm the behavior you
described as I can not reproduce this bad behavior on my system.

Best -- Eric

Peter.
