Package proposal for GNU (or NonGNU) ELPA

Package proposal for GNU (or NonGNU) ELPA

[Jose A. Ortega Ruiz]

Hi,

I'd like to propose my small package consult-recoll for inclusion in
either GNU or NonGNU ELPA.  It's hosted at codeberg:

   https://codeberg.org/jao/consult-recoll

It only depends on consult (already in GNU ELPA) and i (only
contributor) have the papers for Emacs.  

It uses an external program, recoll
(https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/), which is GPL licensed.  recoll
runs locally as an indexer of documents and provides a CLI interface for
querying its index (which is what consult-recoll calls).

If for some reason (e.g., using an external program) GNU is not a good
option, NonGNU would also work for me.

What do you think?

Thanks,
jao

I just added it to elpa.git, but it won't be released into GNU ELPA yet
because of the "Copyright" line in the file, which needs to be updated,
as in the patch below, which also tweaks the `.gitignore`.

After making those changes, you should be able to check the result at
https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/consult-recoll.html
Once you're satisfied, you'll need to additionally bump the `Version:`
in order to tell GNU ELPA to build a release tarball.

Many thanks for the quick response!

I've applied your patch, and tweaked a bit the readme so that images are
correctly shown in ELPA too, as well as filling in my maintainer's
email.

Version just bumped, it should be up in the next update.  Please let me
know if there's any way in which i can improve things from ELPA's POV,
now or in the future!

Cheers,
