This patch (0135cb9c) breaks Wes Hardaker's generic export (in contrib). Since the backend is nil, the following line causes org-export to try to require org-nil: (require (intern (concat "org-" backend-name)) nil) --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "org-nil") require(org-nil nil) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I ask because even though org-export-generic.el is a contributed package, an option to call it is hard-coded into org-export: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \[g] export using Wes Hardaker's generic exporter --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best, Matt
