Hi,
I'm currently maintaining the ninja package on the AUR [1]. Recently, there has been an issue about which I'd like to ask for your advice:
ninja contains an files for emacs to support edititng the rules files of ninja. A user suggested that I compile the provided .el file to an .elc file. I did that, but then other users complained about the build-dependency on emacs. Now another user suggested that in the PKGBUILD, I should check whether emacs is installed and only then compile the .el file. I'm not totally opposed to this, but it feels a bit strange that the package is different, depending on the system it's built on.
What would you do in this situation?
Thanks in advance!
Best, Mika
