I do not see that emacs provides a .emacs > dering installation. It doesn't if you by installation mean the placing of binaries etc in $PATH directories and such stuff ... But I like it that way, I don't like when Emacs adds stuff to my init files and I see no advantage of that, on the contrary I'd keep that human/computer separation clean. Also I have no idea why this "has to" be the way it is but with this at least I don't have to see it (setq custom-file "~/ooa/dork.elc") I don't even use custom so why can't that be opted out completely? Or can it? Apologies if so ... > The article claims that the latest way to include > customisations is via ~/.emacs.d/init.el rather than using > ~/.emacs. Is this claim correct? Well, to me the init files were just files, the only thing setting .emacs apart is that Emacs by default looks for it, i.e., looks for a file located in $HOME with that name. But I don't know, maybe there is indeed a policy which is wholly or in part enforced somehow with respect to specific files ... -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
