@Alexis: Just have a look into lib/el/ in your picolisp
installation.
i'm on Debian Wheezy(+updates), and having installed the available
PicoLisp package (3.1.0.7-1), couldn't see any .el files within
the PicoLisp directory (/usr/share/picolisp/), which doesn't have
a /lib or /lib/el directory either. However, having downloaded the
3.1.9 tarball and unpacked it, i can now see the files you're
talking about.
Have i missed in the documentation where support for editing in
Emacs is mentioned? From:
http://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation
i can't see any mention of it in any of:
* Manual Page
* Reference Manual
* Common Index
* README
* INSTALL
or
* FAQ
...
Maybe your efforts aren't really necessary (but surely a good
exercise anyway).
...
Maybe you should rename your emacs extensions, so it doesn't get
mixed up with the one coming with the picolisp standard
distribution.
Well, if i'd known that Emacs support was already available, i
wouldn't have written my package in the first place! i already
maintain a couple of other Emacs packages, and have lots of other
coding i'd like to be doing, so i only worked on my PicoLisp
package to help myself and other Emacs users, rather than to learn
about writing and/or packaging Emacs Lisp - the package as it
currently stands didn't require extensive knowledge of PicoLisp.
Now that i know comprehensive Emacs support for PicoLisp is
available, i'll probably just remove my own PicoLisp package from
MELPA. The only thing that my package provides that the
distribution package doesn't - as far as i can tell! - is support
for showing documentation for the symbol at point, either in a
browser or in Emacs itself. i'd be happy for my code for that to
be added to the distribution package, assuming i don't have to
sign any paperwork to do so ....
Alexis.
