With this new variable, user can load spacemacs anywhere, e.g.
"~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/". Only user's cache directory is still hard-coded
as "~/.emacs.d/.cache/". If user want to use spacemacs this way, drop
one line as the below in "~/.emacs.d/init.el":
(setq spacemacs-start-directory "~/.emacs.d/spacemacs/")
(load-file (concat spacemacs-start-directory "init.el"))
As it was the case during the good old days when spacemacs was still a
baby, SPC h SPC now list correctly all the pre/init/post functions and
the associsted layer. It also now list properly the current owner of
a package so it is easy to find the owner of a package by narrowing
with `packagename owner`.
This new old functionality is possible by leveraging the last
improvements to the layer system (see previous commits).
