Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Warn about etc/indent-code.el when Emacs is absent.
Date: Thu,  7 Nov 2019 19:25:18 +0100

Dear,

Currently, if Emacs is absent of PATH then ./configure defaults to
/usr/bin/emacs, therefore the script etc/indent-code.el fails when the user
runs it.

With the patch, the file etc/indent-code.el will not be outputed if Emacs is
absent and ./configure warns the user.

From my point of view, it avoids trivial mistake of non-Emacs-er newcomers and
ease their experience when contributing.


All the best,
simon
