Subject: List packages Status column terminology
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:26:57 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnzbi4ti.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
When you do M-x list-packages, you get the package listings like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
zone-matrix 0.0.1 available Matrix themed Zone mode
zoom-frm 20140101.56 available Commands to zoom frame
zossima 20121123.... available Ruby from Emacs
zotelo 20130428.604 available Manage Zotero collections
all 1.0 installed Edit all lines matching a
git-commit-mode 20140110.833 installed Major mode for editing git commit
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why use the word 'available' instead of 'install'? The fact that I
invoked list-packages itself means that the package is available on
elpa and the only logical statuses are 'install/installed' for
any particular row. i.e as below, preferably in a different face
colour?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
zone-matrix 0.0.1 install Matrix themed Zone mode
zoom-frm 20140101.56 install Commands to zoom frame
zossima 20121123.... install Ruby from Emacs
zotelo 20130428.604 install Manage Zotero collections
all 1.0 installed Edit all lines matching a
git-commit-mode 20140110.833 installed Major mode for editing git commit
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
