Subject: bug#55501: [PACTH] emacs-evil fails compilation by emacs-28.1, but upstream has newer commits which should compile
Date: Thu, 19 May 2022 01:25:26 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Below a patch for emacs-evil.

Since upstream declared the new version 1.15.0 in a commit message
without creating a tag, I have to git-reference to a commit. I tried to
reproduce the way it's done on other emacs extensions.

Other than this, it should be just bumping the upstream version so that
it gets byte compiled succesfully with emacs 28.

I tested that it builds and installs on a private channel local to my machine.

  Bump emacs-evil to versions 1.15.0
  So that it can be built by emacs-28
