Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 26.4-1
Severity: normal
On both Emacs 21 and Emacs snapshot, "M-x edit-env" signals the error:
Symbol's function definition is void: copy-list
Since copy-list is defined in cl.el, edit-env.el should (require 'cl)
if it wants to use it. Indeed, after manually loading the cl library
edit-env works. However, the Emacs Lisp Manual (version 2.9 shipping
with Emacs snapshot) states:
Please don't require the `cl' package of Common Lisp extensions at
run time. Use of this package is optional, and it is not part of
the standard Emacs namespace. If your package loads `cl' at run
time, that could cause name clashes for users who don't use that
package.
So it would probably be cleaner to rewrite the edit-env function not
to use copy-list.
