Have you thought much about user-setup of late? I tried to use it in an up-to-date mac, and the emacs setup failed. I think it was relying on some missing package. Do you have any thoughts as to how we can get this to the point where it works reliably enough to be usable to newbies?
Another thing about user-setup is that its operations are only implicit, i.e., it only does things on install, which means if you want to do something like set up a clean .emacs file, or even just get a list of the things it's doing, there's no obvious way. I think it would be ideal if user-setup came with a command-line tool, and actually if it only modified files after you called that command-line tool, which would warn you about what it was going to do, and maybe even give you a way of immediately unrolling. y _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
