new recipe point-stack

[dimitri]

Applied, thanks!

I wonder if doing the global-set-key in the :after function from the main el-get recipe is a good idea for users, though.

Hi dimitri,

i am sure, that thats not a good idea ;-)
how do you do it. do you have a final el-file with all your keybindings?

regards

[dimitri]

I have a dim-packages.el file with my packages and their :after functions, yes. It looks a lot like what I posted in my blog entry here:

http://tapoueh.org/articles/news/_el-get_reaches_1.0.html

    (:name goto-last-change
           :after (lambda ()
                    (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-/") 'goto-last-change)))

I will remove your bindings now :)

ah cool ... i did not understand that it is possible to use a name from a recipe and have user-specific after-functions. thats great!

[dimitri]

In fact, the final recipe is a merge between what you say and what the el-get recipe says, with your properties winning. Unless you give the :type too, in this case you're supposed to be giving the full recipe.

[gizmomogwai]

so would it also be possible to give some default values to the el-get recipe for the binding, and if someone wants another binding he can replace the after function?
or would it be useful to have a separate keybindings function for each recipe?

[dimitri]

Well I don't want to go too far with el-get, I prefer the user to setup the packages for themselves. I'm not willing to offer a menu based thing ala ELPA e.g., I expect the end user to have to hand-maintain his own .emacs setup. They will have to add point-stack to their el-get-sources list, it's easy enough to add a :after function there and set the keys (maybe they will do that only for some modes, too).

So I've let your keybindings as comments...

[gizmomogwai]

i understand.
besides .. point-stack is not my emacs-code. its from the guy in the blog.
i just wanted to try out el-get with a small lib :) thanks for the good work.
it took me some time to get started, but now i really like it.

Nice! Give goto-last-change a try!
