[ELPA] New package: delight.el

[ELPA] New package: delight.el

[Phil Sainty]

I would like to propose my delight.el library for inclusion in
GNU ELPA (or as a standard Emacs library if that is of interest).

Delight enables you to easily customise how major and minor modes
appear in the mode line.

It was inspired by a well-known library called Diminish which
facilitates the same thing for minor modes only. I wrote Delight
because I wanted something which also supported major modes, as well
as a more concise syntax for configuration (in particular, something
which didn't necessitate writing an explicit call to eval-after-load
to handle unloaded modes).

Detailed documentation and examples are in the commentary, and at:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DelightedModes

The source code is now maintained at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/delight.git
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/delight.git/plain/delight.el

(For GNU ELPA I would use an external/subtree approach with this
new Savannah repository.)


n.b. At one point someone submitted a melpa recipe for the EmacsWiki
source, and so this has also been available via melpa for some time,
but I'd prefer it to be on GNU ELPA.


I could potentially include delight-powerline.el as well.
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DelightedPowerLine
That's a small integration library I wrote on request so that
Delight would work with the various "Powerline" libraries out there
on github and melpa and the like. I'm not sure whether there are
conventions to follow regarding GNU ELPA packages integrating with
non-GNU libraries, so I've left it out for now.

No comments on this to date, so I'd quite like to see this committed
to the GNU ELPA repo.

I have a savannah account, but do not have permission to push to the
emacs/elpa repository. I'll happily take care of it if I'm assigned
permissions (which would assist with future updates); otherwise if
someone else would like to do so, that would be appreciated.

thanks,
-Phil

Sorry I didn't look at this until now.  Given the short length of the code, I wonder: could the be turned into a patch against diminish? This way diminish users would all benefit from the improvements, right?

Hi Clément,

> could the be turned into a patch against diminish?

My preference is to keep this separate. delight.el is pretty well-
established at this point (I first released it three years ago),
and diminish.el is not part of GNU ELPA, so I expect you'd need to
contact its author about patching it in any case.

I'm just looking to give delight.el a new home.

Makes sense; thanks for clarifying!

It would be great to see delight.el being part of ELPA.
Maybe there is an added benefit, John's use-package.el now (optionally) requires diminish.el. It would be awesome if it would be replaced by delight. This might make integration use-package into emacs easier. 
WDYT John?

I believe use-package already supports delight.el via the :delight
keyword?

It's not mentioned in the readme, but I can see relevant code in
use-package.el:
