Since Emacs 27 the package cl is deprecated, the replacement is
cl-lib, which is available since Emacs 24.3.
This patch replaces cl by cl-lib and drops support for Emacs versions
less than 24.3. Dropping older Emacsen is required, because cl-lib is
a builtin starting from version 24.3 and doesn't need an extra package
from ELPA.
Testcases for past issues still contain cl. Most of them seem to be
broken and need further investigation.
This patch is tested with test/run-ert.sh, which outputs:
Ran 10 tests, 10 results as expected, 0 unexpected (2021-01-30 13:24:54+0100, 0.672122 sec)
1 expected failures
and manually by daily usage for a month now.
Let entries specified in :depends list be merged with dependencies in
the original recipe (instead of overriding it), just like the :features
list.
close#2340
A package source definition is now merged by simply calling
`el-get-package-def` with an overriding source.
`el-get-bundle-package-def` and `el-get-bundle-defined-p` now
ignore `el-get-sources` not to be affected by `.status.el`.
