derive from an Emacs package without modifying it

Show all headers | View raw

I have for years been using the ejira package to access Jira from Emacs.
A recent change in the Jira API prompted me to update my fork of the
package for Jira API v3. In order for this to work, I needed to also
update the dependencies jiralib2 and ox-jira.

Since these package updates might be useful for others, I want to
provide them, ideally even via Melpa. But: I have a couple of extensions
in ejira that are only working in my employer's Jira configuration.

My question is, how do I mitigiate these requirements? The changes are
e. g. in a core defstruct of ejira. I would have to change these back to
default in order to make ejira3 useful to others. So, what do with the
changes I still need for my own workflow? Should I add those into a
second package to be loaded after ejira was initialized?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,
Wolfgang
