The function that sets that temp file should be a defcustom. - Now, the referenced SETUPFILE should be downloaded only if that (1) That file is being fetched for the first time in that emacs session, or (2) that temp file does not exist. - Add a defun to force reload the SETUPFILE from the referenced URL, in which case the temp file will be deleted and re-downloaded (as the above condition satisfied). So under the normal circumstance where that foo.org file buffer is reverted multiple times in an emacs session, the same SETUPFILE downloaded to /tmp will be used. If the user updated the file at the referenced URL, they can do the above mentioned forced reload of SETUPFILE and download the latest version of SETUPFILE. Thoughts? -- Kaushal Modi
