## Installing
|
|
|
|
To add the repository put this before the call to `package-initialize`
|
|
in your `init.el` file.
|
|
|
|
<!-- <script src="https://gist.github.com/1679158.js"> </script> -->
|
|
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
### Customizations
|
|
|
|
There is currently no way in `package.el` to exclude or include versions. So to remedy this I ahve created a package that will allow you to enable only certain packages or exclude certain packages. You can install the package by pasting this into yoru `*scratch*` buffer and evaluating it.
|
|
|
|
(progn
|
|
(switch-to-buffer
|
|
(url-retrieve-synchronously
|
|
"https://raw.github.com/milkypostman/melpa/master/melpa.el"))
|
|
(package-install-from-buffer (package-buffer-info) 'single))
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then customize two variables:
|
|
|
|
`melpa-package-enable`
|
|
: List of MELPA packages to enable. Empty list enables all packages.
|
|
|
|
`melpa-package-exclude`
|
|
: List of MELPA package to exclude. This list trumps those specified in `melpa-package-enable`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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*.
|
|
|
|
<!-- <script src="https://gist.github.com/1679208.js"> </script> -->
|
|
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
### Fixes for `package.el`
|
|
|
|
**Note:** *These fixes are included in the `melpa.el` package.*
|
|
|
|
There are a number of small bugs in Emacs24's `package.el`. First,
|
|
when installing dependencies, the packages were not getting
|
|
initialized. Second, the order for dependencies was coming out
|
|
backwards for what I needed. Both problems are
|
|
easily patched by some *advice*.
|
|
|
|
<!-- <script src="https://gist.github.com/1679232.js"> </script> -->
|
|
|
|
(defadvice package-compute-transaction
|
|
(before
|
|
package-compute-transaction-reverse (package-list requirements)
|
|
activate compile)
|
|
"reverse the requirements"
|
|
(setq requirements (reverse requirements))
|
|
(print requirements))
|
|
|
|
(defadvice package-download-tar
|
|
(after package-download-tar-initialize activate compile)
|
|
"initialize the package after compilation"
|
|
(package-initialize))
|
|
|
|
(defadvice package-download-single
|
|
(after package-download-single-initialize activate compile)
|
|
"initialize the package after compilation"
|
|
(package-initialize))
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
[https://github.com/milkypostman/melpa](https://github.com/milkypostman/melpa)
|
|
|
|
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.
