Hi Amin,

Amin Bandali <bandali <at> gnu.org> skribis:

Nice!  Please also mention the new patch file and add it to
gnu/local.mk.

It LGTM, but…

This change causes a rebuild of ‘emacs’, ‘emacs-minimal’, and everything
that depends on them (1K+ packages.)  Can it be avoided somehow?

One solution would be to duplicate the snippet for now in ‘emacs-next’.

Please add a line or two at the top explaining what this patch does.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks!
