Subject: Re: Interoperation between package managers
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:36:20 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bebe606f-ed93-08a0-97d2-1c2999f61d40@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CADB4rJEM6OMU3UmvnO1rZutzK943ryb_Vxs57fSx7qavZXgT8g@mail.gmail.com>
The main benefit of such API would be interoperability between package
managers. Since it's just functions you can always wrap them into
functions of your own, allowing for complex cases like when you want
some package from package.el, then other packages from some other
package manager, then other packages from package.el.
Getting rid of package-initialize is a good thing, but it would not be
worth it, if it was the only motivation.
Optimizing performance would be a little bit tricky, that's true, so is
dealing with autoloads, but this seems to me quite solvable.
