The server does not start and now the mds command is not assigned so I cannot manually start it. What I found that does work is changing :config to :init, that is, (use-package mds :commands (mds) :init (mds)) On reflection that might make sense. What confuses me is that :init runs code before the package is loaded. However, I assume that :commands (mds) ensures that mds is auto-loaded, so the call to (mds) then auto-loads and runs mds. -- Joe Riel
