package-requires.el

package-requires.el is a package for Emacs Lisp package developers which summarises dependencies (which are defined in Package-Requires header) of elisp files in a directory. You can browse the result in a buffer or insert it into a file through snippets. Now you can create an Emacs Lisp package with a test suite even faster.

Configuration

Yasnippet snippets

It is recommended that you define snippets for quickly creating a new Emacs Lisp package. The following functions will be helpful:

• package-requires-emacs-version returns the required Emacs version.
• package-requires-format-required-packages returns the required packages separated by whitespace. This is useful for generating a configuration file for a Makefile-based testing suite such as emake and makel.
• package-requires-travis-matrix returns a YAML configuration code to be used in .travis.yml for Travis CI. It contains a list of EMACS_VERSION strings with Emacs versions greater than or equal to the specified version.

These functions uses the most recent dependency information if you have already run one of the interactive commands in this package (i.e. package-requires-show-dir-deps or package-requires-show-file-deps) in the Emacs session.

Usage

• package-requires-show-dir-deps command displays the dependencies of all Emacs Lisp files in the default directory.
• package-requires-show-file-deps command displays the dependencies of a particular Emacs Lisp file in the default directory. If you set package-requires-file-selector to =’helm=, you can use helm to select multiple files.
• package-requires-redisplay command redisplays the most recent result.
