Hi Doctor, It's good to have such constructive discussion here.
I like your approach to tangle based on tags. I accomplish more or less the same in this (unfinished) literate config for zshrc https://gist.github.com/85c9b9c9ab151c5fd35bd761ef6ef569 Here the function `org-tags-to-filenames' simply fetches the list of tags and returns a list of filenames corresponding to the tags. Each block is then tangled to each file in the returned list (using the patch under discussion) Best J ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Thursday, July 8th, 2021 at 12:41 PM, Trust me I am a Doctor <pill...@riseup.net> wrote: > Hi, > > I have no particular opinion for the patch proposed but wanted to share > > with you some reflections I had on the subject to use one org file to > > tangle to multiple setup. > > I use abundantly virtual machines and my emacs configurations have many > > bits that I don't want everywhere, be it a mail setup, a rss setup, or > > extra languages setup ... etc. > > It is not exactly the same usage, I do not tangle different versions in > > one pass, I tangle a version at a time, and take care of installing it > > in the right place later. > > Naively I started to use the header's tags to tangle blocks.
