Hi all emacser!
auto-install.el (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoInstall) now is stable enough.
I recommend all emacsers use it to install elisp package, it will SAVE
too much time on install elisp package whatever newbie or expert.
Below i list some point why use auto-install:
1-> It's give freedom to user:
It won't force user install package from special place, you can give any
link that contain elisp file to auto-install.el.
2-> It's *asynchronous*:
It can download elisp package asynchronous without the help of any
external download program. That's is say, you can do your work and
install elisp package at the same time.
3-> Batch installation:
Some Emacs extension like Icicles need many libraries, auto-install.el
can install those libraries asynchronous parallel at background.
4-> View the differences between the new and old version:
Sometimes, you need view the differences between the new and old version before you update.
5-> Find and replace old version automatically.
6-> Rich interface:
It can integrate anything.el, you can install or update elisp package
just type elisp package name, and don't need where the url contain those
elisp package.
Last, auto-install.el save your time!
And details about auto-install.el, please see
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoInstall
rubikitch (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/rubikitch) is new maintainer
of auto-install.el
Please send suggestions and bug reports to rubikitch, thanks!
