Adding gnome-minor-mode to ELPA

Adding gnome-minor-mode to ELPA

[Daiki Ueno]

Hello,

I would like to import my package gnome-minor-mode to GNU:
https://github.com/ueno/gnome-minor-mode

It is a tiny minor-mode to help editing "GNOME-style" C source code,
which requires special alignment rules for header files and function
arguments:
https://developer.gnome.org/programming-guidelines/stable/c-coding-style.html.en#header-files
https://developer.gnome.org/programming-guidelines/stable/c-coding-style.html.en#functions

I had used my previous effort[1] on this for several years (even though
it was buggy).  Perhaps someone might find it useful or could provide a
better alternative?

Regards,

IIRC, cc-mode has several built-in styles for brackets and indentation.
Could this gnome-style be implemented as one of those?

Go right ahead, just add it to elpa.git (check the README file there
for some info of how it works).

Perhaps, or as a style of align.el, as the GNOME documentation mentions
M-x align.  However, it's beyond my expertise and I would be grateful if
anyone could help me out.

I actually have read it, and noticed that it now suggests to send an
email to emacs-devel to avoid any duplicate effort, etc - that is why
I'm sending this; sorry for that I didn't strictly follow the email
format described there.

I think the term "gnome" is too broad. When I saw the subject, I
envisioned many things, except for editing C code.

Since it would accompany cc-mode, may I suggest gnomecc-minor-mode?

Don't worry about it, I was mostly just shooting the dark. A minor-mode
sounds perfectly fine.

On a second topic, I do agree with Bill. The name sounds like something
about improving integration between Emacs and Gnome. I'd suggest
something like `gnome-c-style.el' or `gnome-cc.el', but it's up to you.

Indeed, thanks for the notification.

No problem. Do you know how to add your package?

Thanks.  I renamed it to gnome-c-style, and pushed it to ELPA.
