## Installing
|
|
|
|
To add the repository put this before the call to `package-initialize`
|
|
in your `init.el` file.
|
|
|
|
(add-to-list 'package-archives
|
|
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
|
|
|
|
Please read about [known issues](#known-issues) below before
|
|
attempting to install multiple packages at once.
|
|
|
|
## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
Due to the way the HTTP routing works on my provider, the HTTP/1.1
|
|
connection will time out for long package installs -- where the
|
|
package is large and takes a while to compile -- like *magit* or *evil*.
|
|
|
|
(setq url-http-attempt-keepalives nil)
|
|
|
|
This makes things a tad more slow but means that the install completes
|
|
correctly. Otherwise the connection times out and the install goes haywire.
|
|
|
|
## Updating Packages
|
|
|
|
`package.el` now includes a mechanism to upgrade packages. After running `package-list-pacages`, type *u* (mark Upgradable packages) and then *x* (eXecute the installs and deletions). When it's done installing all the packages it will ask if you want to delete the obsolete packages and so you can hit *y* (Yes).
|
|
|
|
If you run into a problem installing or upgrading, you may need to go into your `~/.emacs.d/elpa/` directory and delete packages that are installed multiple times. This can happen when the install times out (see [Known Issues](#known-issues)).

## Development

|
|
|
Contributions are welcome. Currently, the builder only supports
|
|
packages using git, subversion, mercurial, and darcs. This covers
|
|
most of the packages that I am interested in.
