v4.1.2 UNRELEASED

  • Stopped using a realpath gnu-ism. #167

v4.1.1 2024-11-02

  • Org export errors are now being demoted instead of being ignored entirely. 13caf51
  • Makefile and documentation improvements.

v4.1.0 2024-09-01

  • The robustness of the code used to set borg-drones-directory, borg-user-emacs-directory and borg-top-level-directory has been increased. As a result borg-drones-directory no longer has to be a direct subdirectory of borg-user-emacs-directory. #144
  • The Emacs configuration repository can now itself be a submodule. #154
  • Updated tooling.

v4.0.0 2024-08-08

  • Dropped support for Emacs 26. fd9d044
  • The bootstrapping process has been improved. e27463e
  • Added support for including other files in ~~/.config/emacs/.gitmodules~ and use that to separate essential module configuration (still in .gitmodules), additional remotes (now in .gitremotes) and build configuration (now in .borgconfig). f9a9140
  • borg-read-package used to suggest the Emacsmirror URL for packages from many forges, when it should have suggested the upstream URL instead. d8aecb0
  • When building an individual drone, it is now cleaned first, just like it was always done when building all drones at once. b8f7561
  • While a build step is running, the new borg-clone variable is bound to the package currently being build. c0ad642
  • Added new variable borg.extra-build-step which allows specifying additional build steps to be used when building any drone. 2f41ec4
  • The value of a submodule.DRONE.disabled variable can now be a lisp expression. 15a8905
  • Added new variable borg-minimal-emacs-alist, used to disable drones that require a more recent Emacs release than what is currently being used. 00132c1
  • Added support for exporting Org files to Texinfo. #121
  • When building only most drones using the quick make target, drones that aren’t going to be re-build are no longer cleaned. 5647cd7
  • Stopped using git submodule--helper subcommands, which were removed in Git v2.38.0. 78a1c87 8d00bb8 etc.
  • Renamed many make targets. Made help the default target. Removed the all target (since there is no one-fits-all). Added clean-force target. 675d97a 41d8ba4 d843820 3dc7068 d873be8 etc.
  • Improved support for native compilation. c166368 40b0664 2520ae9 21acd89 etc.
  • Use loaddefs-generate in Emacs 29 and later. 14c140d
  • The format of the raw output of borg-drones changed. 47122b6
  • Disabled drones are now highlighted in Magit’s tabulated module lists. d3cdc17
  • make clean and make force-clean now also remove autoload files. 1172842, 52234b0
  • Values added to SILENCIO in borg.mk are no longer discarded. This variable can be used to suppress warnings when compiling drones. 72000eb
  • 7baf949 borg-makeinfo: Do not regenerate tracked but missing file
  • 04df5ca borg-build: Remove trailing slash from clone name
  • 1f87dfc borg–build-interactive: Use pop-to-buffer-same-window
  • 9e59c64 Handle autoloads and load-path more robustly
  • 7ef6a70 make: No longer hardcode drone directory in target names
  • cb198c7 borg.sh: Improve safety outside initial “make bootstrap”
  • 3cd6b4f make: Explicitly specify output directory for makeinfo –html
  • c83238b borg-elpa: Don’t assume epkg is available
  • a337603 Ensure activation happens only after building is done
  • e29d983 borg-drones: Append slash to borg-drones-directory if necessary

  • 1b4efad #157 borg-build: let-bind borg-compile-function
  • 94b9be7 borg-update-autoloads: Add to load-path again

v3.3.1 2022-02-16

  • borg-user-emacs-directory wasn’t used in all places where it should be used.
  • Added new function borg-dronep.
  • Added new macro borg-do-drones, which is mostly like dolist but caches variables that are set in “.gitmodules”.
  • Added new make target build-native.
  • Like manual in the top directory, those in the doc/ and docs/ directories are now also automatically build and added to Info-directory-list.
  • Added an additional make variable EMACS_ARGUMENTS that is reserved for use by users.

v3.3.0 2022-01-01

  • When setting borg-top-level-directory do not assume we are inside a Git repository, which makes it possible to use Borg to build a static configuration to be deployed outside the repository used to build it. #110
  • Fixed path to etc/borg/config.mk, which is now also loaded when building not-interactively.
  • Added new variable borg-compile-function, which can be set to native-compile to enable upfront native compilation. This should be done in ~~/.emacs.d/etc/borg/config.el~ like so: 
    (when (native-comp-available-p)
  (setq borg-compile-function #'native-compile))

    Renamed borg-byte-compile-recursively to borg-compile-recursively and borg-byte-compile to borg-compile accordingly. #116

  • borg-drones learned to ignore non-drone submodules. #117
  • The variable argument of borg-get can now be a symbol.
  • If a variable has multiple values borg-get failed to return the last value when using the cache, as it already did when not using the cache.

v3.2.0 2021-05-30

  • Taught borg-load-path to use the elisp/ directory automatically like it already uses the lisp/ directory or the top-level. The elisp/ directory takes precedence over the other two directories. a8bce40
  • Users can now specify the init files that should be compiled by setting the INIT_FILES variable in the top-level Makefile. If that is not specified, then the same files as before are compiled (init.el and <username>.el). 35b63df
  • Each init file is now loaded before it is compiled. Previously this was only done for init.el. f6a2e0c
  • The default-directory used during compilation and when presenting the results did not always match, leading to broken links. 41b4494
  • When initializing and rebuilding packages, then missing and disabled packages are skipped now. bde5d4c, 93f40f9, 640169d
  • It is now possible to place the drones in a directory that is named something other than lib using the borg.drones-directory variable. The default is still lib, except when using Borg alongside Package; then the new default is borg. 83f96dd, fd31cff
  • The borg-user-emacs-directory no longer has to be the top-level directory of the containing repository. bbea37f
  • The variable borg-drones-directory was previously known as borg-drone-directory. dd0c142
  • When Borg is used as secondary package manager, then borg.mk is now usable as well. 5d87d34
  • Added documentation on how to recover from missing commits and missing repositories. ecb2f9f
  • Symlinks are resolved now when setting path variables. 444b9d7

v3.1.2 2019-12-05

  • The new option borg-rewrite-urls-alist allows rewriting certain urls when a package repository is cloned. This is mostly intended to replace Github and Gitlab ssh URLs with https urls.

v3.1.1 2019-05-05

  • Cosmetics and improvements to maintenance tools.

v3.1.0 2019-01-28

  • The new user configuration file ~~/.emacs.d/etc/borg/init.el~ is loaded by borg-initialize if Emacs is running without an interactive terminal.

v3.0.0 2018-10-31

  • Borg can now be used as a secondary package manager alongside package.el. When used like this, then Borg itself should be installed from Melpa. This is still experimental. For instructions and help see #46. The manual does not yet cover this topic.
  • The commands borg-assimilate and borg-clone now require the user to confirm before acting on a package that is known to be (potentially) unsafe. Note that this does not imply that other packages are safe, and also that the epkg package has to be available for this to kick in for the most dangerous packages — those from the Emacswiki, into which anyone could trivially inject malicious code.
  • The new files borg.mk and borg.sh were added, replacing files that were previously located directly in the super-repository.

    The super-repository still contains a Makefile, which users who do not use the Emacs.g collective have to update manually, but failure to do so should be less problematic now, because this file only defines a single target needed to make borg.mk and borg.sh accessible during bootstrap, while using these files for everything it previously did itself.

    This makes it easier and safer to improve the respective functionality iteratively and to create configurations that are not based on the Emacs.d collective.

  • The new user configuration files ~~/.emacs.d/etc/borg/config.el~ and ~~/.emacs.d/etc/borg/config.mk~ are loaded by borg-build and make if they exist. These files are primarily intended to set the variables borg-emacs-argument (which see) and EMACS_ARGUMENTS. The latter can also be used to set EMACS and/or to define new make targets.
  • The new command borg-insert-update-message inserts information about drones that are updated in the index. The inserted text is formatted according to the commit message conventions documented in the manual. In git-commit-mode-map C-c C-b is bound to this command.
  • A new make target tangle-init was added which recreates init.el from init.org.
  • Added new variables submodule.DRONE.recursive-byte-compile and borg-byte-compile-recursively.
  • The user is asked to save relevant buffers before compiling.
  • The values of submodule.DRONE.no-byte-compile are now treated as relative to the top-level. The documentation already claimed that was the case before.
  • All build output is appended to the same buffer now. Previously each build created a new, unspecialized buffer that never got cleaned up. The buffer is automatically shown on every build but can easily be buried using C-q.
  • The command borg-insert-update-message now also handles assimilations and removals.

v2.0.0 2017-09-19

  • Added new command borg-clone to make it easier to review a package before assimilating it. Assimilating a package gives that package a change to run arbitrary code, so the review should happen first.

    Packages that have been cloned are now being referred to as clones. If they have additionally been assimilated, then they are referred to as drones, as before. Note that drones are also clones.

    When a package has not even been cloned yet, then it is referred to as just a package.

  • Added new command borg-remove to replace borg-uninstall. The new name is more appropriate because this command is also suitable for removing a package that has previously been cloned, without also being assimilated. This command moves the working tree to the trash, but does not remove the gitdir. It also refuses to do anything if the working tree isn’t clean.
  • Command borg-assimilate now assimilates an already cloned package without the user having to use a prefix argument, while separating the gitdir from the working tree, if that isn’t already the case. The latter is useful after the user initialized a new repository, or cloned a package using something other than borg-clone.

    When assimilating a package, that has been cloned or assimilated before but was then removed again, then the user is now given the choice between reusing the existing gitdir or starting over.

  • Command borg-build now also activates the clone or drone using the new command borg-activate, which was extracted from borg-assimilate.
  • Command borg-build now always uses a non-interactive Emacs instance to avoid polluting the new byte-code with old versions of the same code that is already loaded.
  • The functions borg-update-autoloads, borg-byte-compile, and borg-makeinfo can now be used as explicit build steps without having to specify their argument(s).
  • Added new variable borg-build-shell-command to give users complete control over how shell command build steps are executed.
  • Added new utility function borg-gitdir and, in order to avoid confusion and match Git terminology, renamed borg-repository to borg-worktree.
  • Added new utility functions borg-read-package, borg-read-clone, and borg-clones.
  • Fixed a type error in borg-initialized when drones are being skipped.

v1.0.0 2016-12-31

  • Repository moved to https://github.com/emacscollective/borg.
  • The ~~/.emacs.d/bin/borg-bootstrap~ script can now add additional remotes. That script is part of the repository of the emacs.g collective. It cannot be part of the borg repository, because it is has to be available before the borg repository and all the other drone/submodule repositories are cloned. But the documentation about this script can be found in the borg manual.
  • borg-initialize now uses a cache to avoid calling git config excessively. On Windows this significantly improves performance.
  • borg-drones learned to optionally return drone variables instead of just the drone names.
  • borg-byte-compile and borg-update-autoloads now don’t require the PATH argument.
  • borg-uninstall was broken.
  • The manual was updated heavily.
  • Cosmetic and other minor improvements.
  • Minor bug fixes and typo fixes.

  • Added new function borg-batch-rebuild-init to allow compiling just the init files without also compiling all drones.

v0.1.2 2016-08-27

  • borg-batch-rebuild now also compiles the secondary init file <user-real-login-name>.el if present.
  • borg-batch-rebuild now compiles org before all other packages.
