Subject: Async Package.el Feedback
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2015 17:29:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <21795.9431.463084.313806@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
Async behavior for package is a welcome arrival, here is some hopefully useful feedback on making things better -- especially when upgrading a large number of packages at one shot.
0. On startup, Emacs still appears to block while loading the gpg bits for the various archives.
1. Even though installs happen asynchronously, there is a large amount of chatter in the Messages area -- can that be silenced?
2. This is a admittedly a special case: For many years, my emacs-startup file is called emacs-startup.el and is versioned by git -- ~!/.emacs is a symlink.
The code in package.el that adds the (package-initialize) to the top of the startup file appears to go open the startup file each time to check if its magic cookie is present at the top -- so in my case, each package update caused the yes/no prompt -- perhaps remember that the cookie is added via a lisp var (hopefully customizable by the user)
