Built-in Emacs Lisp packages#
Warning This feature has been removed in favor of upstream change
emacs-ng distributed with more built-in Emacs Lisp packages than
upstream GNU Emacs. For now, we have
straight.el
08b0ecf and use-package
a7422fb included.
straight.el#
We are kind of using straight.el as an alternative of package.el,
providing ng-straight-bootstrap-at-startup, ng-bootstrap-straight
(as equipment of package-enable-at-startup and
package-initialize).
Usage#
Emacs NG automatically bootstraps straight.el at startup if
ng-straight-bootstrap-at-startup is set to t, the default value is
nil
You must configure the built-in straight.el in the early init file,
as the variable ng-straight-bootstrap-at-startup is read before
loading the regular init file. There are some variables you may be
interested in (some of them must be set before the bootstrap
process, if they might affect how straight.el itself is loaded). You
can find the details from this
section
of the straight.el's documentation.
To be compatible with upstream Emacs, you can place the following in your init-file:
(unless (fboundp 'ng-bootstrap-straight)
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
(expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
(bootstrap-version 5))
(unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
(with-current-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
(goto-char (point-max))
(eval-print-last-sexp)))
(load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage)))
For more detailed guide, please refer straight.el's READMD.md.
use-package#
There are also
discussions/efforts
to include use-package into upstream. Until then, we temporally
included it with emacs-ng.
