No such file or directory, powerline
I do not have powerline installed, but sometimes Emacs wants to load powerline, e. g. when I call describe-funtion for a boon function the first time with completion. describe-function has an autoload functionality which loads all boon-* files, when I do autocompletion for a boon-* function. Then the error message
eval-buffer: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, powerline
appears, because powerline is not installed. I helped myself with
(require powerline nil t)
instead of (require powerline) in the file boon-powerline. And now the file boon-powerline can also be compiled without having powerline installed.
But do you require boon-powerline? You should not do that if you don't want the powerline functionality. I feel that I'm missing some basic info.
I do not require powerline and I have not installed powerline, but the boon-powerline library requires powerline. Then I do not need the boon-powerline library and the boon-powerline library is not loaded. So far there is no problem. But now I want to see the documentation of some boon function, which is not in the boon-powerline library, e. g. boon-quit. I call describe-function and type boon-quit into the minibuffer. After pressing Enter the error message occurs, because describe-function implicitly tries to load the boon-powerline library, which requires powerline. This happens only the first time after starting Emacs. The next calls of describe-function work without error message.
