This adds a new startup flag `--skip-sync`. It will force spacemacs to skip
package synchonization. This can be useful in cases when you're working under
poor or restrictive network.
Thanks, @zaript, for this idea!
This replaces the older pattern
:toggle (configuration-layer/package-usedp ..)
This implementation ensures that :disabled-for honors dependent packages, i.e.
if package a depends on package b, which is owned by layer c, and layer c is
disabled for layer d, then neither package a nor b will be configured for layer
d. Previously, this was only true for package a, but not b.
This commit also fixes:
- configuration-layer/describe-package now shows which post-init and pre-init
functions are disabled, if any
- Does not recreate all layer objects unconditionally when calling
configuration-layer/discover-layers. Previously, this led to all layers being
recreated after e.g. `SPC h SPC`, without any of the dotfile information.
Since this information is now necessary for
configuration-layer/describe-package, it’s important that we don’t clear the
indexed layers when invoking this function.
This allows the user to, for instance, include the spacemacs tree as a
git submodule of their configuration repository without seeing
superfluous warnings.
At the moment a Quelpa recipe like `(recipe :fetcher local)` is being translated
to something like
`(recipe :fetcher file :path "my-layer/local/my-pkg/my-pkg.el")`. So we can
build simple single-file local packages.
This commit changes it to translate to the package directory instead of exact lisp
file, so we can build multi-file local packages. Thus, the above example will be
translated to `(recipe :fetcher file :path "my-layer/local/my-pkg")`.
Also, add the relevant info to LAYERS.org.
New functions:
- configuration-layer/get-location-directory which return the location on disk
given a location
- spacemacs//get-theme-directory which returns the location on disk of the
theme
Add note in documentation to warn about the directory name when :location local
is used, the directory name is the package name not the theme name.
It is now possible to use package properties like :location in
dotspacemacs-themes.
Added hooks ran at the beginning and end of configuration-layer/sync:
- configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook
- configuration-layer-post-sync-hook
configuration-layer-pre-sync-hook is used to hook the new function
spacemacs//add-theme-packages-to-additional-packages. This new function updates
dotspacemacs--additional-theme-packages variables.
Update documentation to mention the new feature.
Add all theme packages defined in dotspacemacs-themes to the variable
dotspacemacs-additional-packages and delay the application of user theme at the
end of startup (only when user theme cannot be applied at the very beginning
of Emacs startup).
This has nice properties:
- we leverage the layer system to handle the theme packages installation and
cleanup.
- theme packages are automatically owned by the dotfile preventing them from
being garbage collected.
- the protected package mechanism is now obsolete since themes were the last
packages using it. This mechanism may be removed in a near future.
Thanks to TheBB for the initial idea.
Distribute spacemacs-theme with Spacemacs so we don't need to download the
package of the theme at startup. It was delaying the display of the home buffer.
Now Spacemacs fallback to spacemacs-dark theme if the user theme cannot be
applied. Spacemacs then tries to install and reapply the user theme. If
successful, at the subsequent startups the user theme is applied right away
instead of spacemacs-dark. If the installation failed then we display a warning
informing the user and suggesting some actions.
There is now no package left to be installed manually at the start of Spacemacs.
Thanks to the power provided by Lisp, hack package-install to patch on the
fly org and org dependencies installations in order to install org-plus-contrib
instead.
It is now possible to add local elpa repositories to private variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives for instance:
(defvar configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("spacelpa" . "~/.emacs.d/.cache/spacelpa/"))
"List of ELPA archives required by Spacemacs.")
New functions:
- configuration-layer//package-archive-absolute-pathp
- configuration-layer//package-archive-local-pathp
Fix computation of package installation lazyness when the variable
dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation is set to all.
Improve methods on cfgl-layer class to be able to return a list of packages with
or without their properties.
Update tests to reflect the changes.
Discard the warnings produced when packages are byte-compiled which fix the
popup of the *Compile-Log* window at the end of the installation.
If emacs has been launch with argument `--debug-init` we don't discard the
warnings.
Function configuration-layer/load-or-install-package now correctly add the
installed packages to indexed-package hash map.
Those packages are put under the special layer `system`.
This is the first stone toward Spacemacs own ELPA repository.
New function configuration-layer/create-spacelpa-repository which creates the
archive-contents file for the Spacelpa repository containing all the ELPA
packages supported by Spacemacs (and only them).
The layer files were loaded twice because the global variable controlling
the loading of layer files was not explicity set at the layer discovery phase.
Some directories were added twice.
Make it more explicit in the code which directories we look into and filter out
directories that don't exist. Emit a warning if an unknown directory is
provided.
When upgrading packages, Spacemacs backs up the old versions of the
packages and then tells the user to restart Emacs using `SPC q r` so
that the new version will be auto-installed. But `SPC q r` doesn't
work if restart-emacs is one of the packages which is being upgraded,
and hence isn't currently installed.
Cleaned up a warning that occurs when loading private layers
The layer discovery loop scans the private layer directory (
~/.spacemacs.d/layers) AND also ~/.spacemacs.d
The code then checks if a layer directory already exists
but the comparison fails due to trailing / in some paths.
The fix is to strip any trailing slash from both directories being
compared.
Fixes some edge cases like SPC f e R performed after SPC h SPC which
could wrongly install or uninstall packages.
Side effects is contained using the variable
configuration-layer--package-properties-read-onlyp, if non nil then
properties value of a package cannot be overwritten.
Calling multiple times configuration-layer/make-package appends the
same layers to :owners, :pre-layers and :post-layers slot.
Use object-add-to-list instead of push.
Add some tests and mock some warning messages.
Rename configuration-layers/make-packages to
configuration-layers/make-packages-from-layers
Move all package initialization logic to configuration-layers/make-package
instead of having it split between make-packages and make-package.
Hook semantic is to be used with run-hooks API and run all hooks
sequentially, jump list semantic is different since the running
functions are not guaranteed to be executed so we prefer using regular
list API to manage jump-lists.
