Does it compatible with daemon mode?

[dimitri]

What about showing the output you get with --debug-init? What you're talking about here seems unrelated to emacs --daemon mode, but rather to before-1.0 problems.

Well, it's just first time I've do el-get installation. Can it be affected by 'before-1.0 problems'?

With emacs --daemon ----debug-init I see the following:

Package el-get failed to install, remove it first.

(No files need saving)
Checking /home/nik/.emacs.d/el-get/package...

The el-get has just been installed by

"https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/raw/master/el-get-install.el"
(lambda (s)

(eval-print-last-sexp)))

I have the following el-get config in init.el:

(load "~/.emacs.d/el-get/el-get/el-get" t)
(setq el-get-sources
'(el-get package
))

(el-get)

[dimitri]

Should word. Try M-x el-get-install RET el-get RET and restart, and tell me?

[niksite]

I have got: "fatal: destination path 'el-get' already exists and is not an empty directory"

[dimitri]

I would then try to el-get-remove then el-get-install but it should not be necessary. Of course, baring yet-to-fix bugs... So, what happens when you do that?

[niksite]

After el-get-remove & el-get-install el-get: "el-get: package `el-get' has no recipe"

[dimitri]

Ahah, sure. Sorry about that. If you remove el-get you no longer have the recipes. You have to install from scratch again.
