Subject: Re: Can list-packages be set up to show latest github emacs packages?

Message-ID: <a9fbfceb-fae9-4b25-810d-705bf422d208@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I would like list-packages to work with packages from git repositories

1. User has to set some new list-packages preferences.

   ;; places to look for sources, ordered by preference
   (setq preference-of-source '(git melpa other1 other2))

   ;; if more than one source, only show one with highest preference
   (setq only-show-one-source t)

   ;; change prefered source for these exceptions - '(package source opts)
   (setq exceptions '((package-x melpa)
                      (package-y nil '((branch . "bleeding edge"))

   (setq default-branch 'master)

2. A list of known useful git sources is maintained within emacs.

   (setq available-git-packages '((package1 . get-recipe1)
                                  (package2 . get-recipe2))

   
3. Then M-x list-packages works like it normally does.
   when install is run it calls something like el-get with associated recipe.

4. a key binding is available to click on package and change recipe.
   i.e. set branch or tag.
