Subject: bug#15539: 24.3; setting user-emacs-directory at command line invocation
Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2013 13:08:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wqlqiayq.fsf@carifio.org> (raw)
-----------------------
I'd like a switch for the emacs command line, something like
--user-emacs-directory, that sets the user emacs directory on startup,
rather than hardcodes ~/.emacs.d/. So, for example:
emacs --user-emacs-directory ~/mine.d/
Will look for the emacs init.el in ~/mine.d/init.el.
-----------------------
