Emacs 30 org-timeblock "compat-macs not found"

[Askath]

Hello,

Just wanted to mention that I tried this package out with Emacs 30 and noticed that when running org-timeblock I get the error that "compat-macs" is not found, which is required in the org-timeblock.el

I commented the require and the compat-defun out and it seems to run then. (not sure what I broke with that tho)

Had same problem using Emacs-NT version 30.0.92.

My solution was to download compat from elpa, extract compat-macs, put it in the software directory where the rest of the built-in compat package is and then delete the elpa version of compat again.

Since emacs 30 is now in pretest more users will start hitting this issue - any chance it can be worked on?

Yeah, sometime in the future. Or not (because I might write and continue to develop a general calendar, not specific for org, but for iCalendar and other data also). I don't have neither time or desire to work on it now. PRs are welcome. The issue's not so difficult to solve.

Or you can live in Emacs 29 for a time

I would not mind working on it. What would be a solution to fix this?
Add compat-emacs to this repo?
