After reading through |
2 |
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EmacsForDebian I will be |
3 |
changing our app-emacs/ category to not touch site-lisp.el. Instead |
4 |
there will be a /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el which will |
5 |
contain the same thing. Gentoo Emacs users will then be able to load |
6 |
site-gentoo.el from their individual ~/.emacs files. |
7 |
|
8 |
This has the following implication: |
9 |
|
10 |
* on multi-user systems, emerging an app-emacs package because user |
11 |
A wants it will not affect user B if user B's .emacs doesn't load |
12 |
site-gentoo.el. |
13 |
|
14 |
Gentoo GNU Emacs users will have a few options available to them after |
15 |
the change: |
16 |
|
17 |
* if you want the greatest flexibility in how you customize each GNU |
18 |
Emacs package, you can edit your .emacs and NOT load |
19 |
site-gentoo.el. |
20 |
|
21 |
* if you want some level of flexibility, you can load a subset of |
22 |
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/NNpackagename-gentoo.el and cusomize |
23 |
the rest from your .emacs. |
24 |
|
25 |
* if you want very little flexibility and virtually no customization |
26 |
to do, you can simply load site-gentoo.el from your .emacs. (this |
27 |
is the current state of Gentoo GNU Emacs packages). |
