Hello all, First of all thanks for your suggestions, I've got a ~/perso/debian/prospective full of bits of elisp to be considered for inclusion in the emacs-goodies-el package.
I spent some time in that directory though, and attentive sid trackers will probably have seen version 3-1 of it, for which the control file says: ,---- | This package contains: | boxquote.el: quote texts in nice boxes; | thinks.el: quote texts in cartoon-like think bubbles; | bar-cursor.el: change your cursor to a bar instead of a block; | tld.el: explain top-level domain names; | services.el: perform lookups in /etc/services; | protocols.el: perform lookups in /etc/protocols; | highlight-completion.el: highlight completions in the minibuffer; | browse-kill-ring.el: browse, search, modify the kill ring; | coffee.el: now Emacs can even brew coffee; | twiddle.el: mode line hacks to keep you awake; | whitespace.el: kill the trailing blanks at end of lines; | silly-mail.el: generate bozotic mail headers; | obfusurl.el: obfuscate an URL; | toggle-buffer.el: fast switching between two buffers; | mutt-alias.el: lookup and insert the expansion of mutt mail aliases; | prot-buf.el: protect buffers from accidental killing. `---- There are obviously more to come. I might "reject" some suggestions though (some for which the license is not clear), or split them into other packages. I already uploaded one such separated package: idl-font-lock-el. The IDL-mode in Emacs does not fontify the (CORBA-related) OMG IDL buffers, though it provides auto-indentation support. idl-font-lock.el gives you all these neato colours. This one will also have to be manually installed into the archive, but you can get it from <http://people.debian.org/~lolando/>. And more to come! Have fun, Roland. -- Roland Mas Sauvez un arbre, tuez un castor.
