One .el file I currently = have uses "assoc" which is obsolete so I need to update that file. I = thought it might be good to start transitioning over to using packages. I currently have a big git repository for .emacs.d (that happens to be = public on Github) that I pull from and push to so I can move to a new = host quickly and I can keep all the various accounts on various hosts = more or less synced up. Many of the things in this repository are = things I've downloaded... things which are now available as packages. Does anyone have any suggestions for making this transition? I don't = see any blog posts on the topic. One question is if you would suggest checking in the packages downloaded = into the git repository or have git ignore them? I can see arguments = both ways. I'm wondering what other have found to work for them.
