Subject: 25.1;
 how to configure (x-)select-enable-primary compatible with emacs24
Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2017 07:59:06 -0400

Like many people I share emacs configuration between emacs 24 and emacs
25.

Emacs 25.1 customize wants to clean up by deleting obsolete variables,
and in particular x-select-enable-primary. Unfortunately this breaks my
workflow for for emacs 24.

I'd happily update my configuration to use select-enable-primary, except
that that variable is not present in emacs 24.5. I believe the docstring
for select-enable-primary is incorrect in stating the variable is
available since 24.1

Can you describe the scenario in more detail?  Are you customarily run
customize, even after your basic configuration is set up?  Otherwise,
I don't understand what is the trigger for that "cleanup".

Yes, that appears to be a typo; I fixed it now.

Thanks.

Yes, once or twice a week I change some setting using customize while
using emacs25, and the cleanup is triggered then. I use a few
"applications" in emacs like IRC (circe) and email (notmuch) that have a
fairly dynamic set of settings.

I guess I could migrate the setting of x-select-enable-primary out of
customize and into my init.el. I wonder if maybe there should have been
a period of deprecation before marking the variables obsolete. I guess
that can't be helped now in any case.

I think a better idea is to use different customization files for
different Emacs versions.  The Emacs user manual shows how to do that
in "Saving Customizations".

Declaring a variable obsolete _is_ the indication that it's
deprecated.

That solution forces me to keep the two files synchronized. I don't see
an easy way to do that.

Keep the common part in one place, and the disparate parts separate?

That's your definition, for Emacs development.  They are not
the same thing, in general.
