Description Ville Skyttä 2011-01-23 22:37:31 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #661866 +++

I'd like to see a lightweight emacs-filesystem package split out of emacs.  The motivation for this is that packages could at least drop in various init or site-start files without a) requiring any emacs (or -common which isn't lightweight) to be installed, b) owning various emacs dirs, c) using triggers to install the files, or d) splitting annoyingly small *-*emacs subpackages from them.

For this purpose, the package should own/include at least these (empty) dirs:
%{_datadir}/emacs
%{_datadir}/emacs/site-lisp
%{_datadir}/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d

Ccing xemacs maintainer, same RFE applies to it.

Done in Rawhide: emacs-23.2-17.fc15

Emacs Packaging Guidelines should be modified to mention the possibility of using the -filesystem package. Nevertheless, it should be noted that it's only for small add-ons which do not slow down Emacs startup and do not modify default Emacs behaviour, because users cannot uninstall the Emacs-related part of the package without removing the package core.

Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2011-03-01 20:24:17 UTC

Thanks.  One minor issue though - the -filesystem package should be noarch as far as I can tell.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2011-03-01 20:33:48 UTC

Oops.  I'll fix that in a jiffy....

Comment 5 Jonathan Underwood 2011-03-01 22:29:43 UTC

Ville - do you plan to propose a change to the Emacs packaging guidelines to reflect this? If not, I can have a look at it, but not until the weekend.

Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2011-03-02 07:11:44 UTC

I will probably get to it sometime but it'll take quite a bit longer than the next weekend, so it'd be great if you or someone else would beat me to it.
