With this commit, the new loading order for package configuration is:
- pre-init functions for all packages
- init function of all packages
- post-init functions for all packages
- Change nameless prefix to > instead of default :
- Change toggle to SPC m >
- Set nameless separator to nil in order to make it work with any type or separator
- Add diminish unicode ⧁
- Define some default global aliases for Spacemacs source code
- Rename layer variable emacs-lisp-nameless-mode to emacs-lisp-hide-namespace-prefix
- Make variable nameless-current-name safe as a local variable for string values
- Set nameless prefix for core-configuration-layer.el
If non-nil then Spacelpa repository is the primary source to install
a locked version of packages. If nil then Spacemacs will install the lastest
version of packages from MELPA. (default nil)
The default value will be true when we bust all the major bugs.
New variable configuration-layer-elpa-subdirectory set in .lock file.
Now users creating a branch based on develop or master won't reinstall
all the packages in a new elpa directory.
Use const input for function configuration-layer/elpa-directory
New const variables used as input:
- configuration-layer--elpa-root-directory
- configuration-layer--rollback-root-directory
Fix computation of elpa directory by using expand-file-name.
Fixes#9805
New dotfile variable dotspacemacs-verify-spacelpa-archives
Default value is nil for now, users wanting to help testing this feature can
set it to t and delete the directory ~/.emacs.d/.cache/stable-elpa and restart
Emacs to download the Spacelpa archive and verify it.
Update function configuration-layer/stable-elpa-download-tarball to download
signature files as well.
Update function configuration-layer//stable-elpa-untar-archive to verify the
downloaded archive using epg library.
Example of signature files can be found here:
https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacelpa/releases/tag/v0.300
New function spacemacs-buffer/error that gather all the errors and then display
them in the startup buffer under a new list entry `Errors:`.
Add shortcut `e` to go to errors list entry.
New private function configuration-layer//error to wrap spacemacs-buffer/error
and increment the startup error count that is displayed in a red mode-line when
startup process finishes.
Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.

ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.
Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.
BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.
I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:
(setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
Shadowing is now control by layer property ':can-shadow' only.
can-shadow is a commutative relation, if layer1 can shadow layer2 then layer2
can shadow layer1.
the shadow operator is a binary operator accepting two layer names, it is not
commutative and the order of the operands is determined by the order of the
layers in the dotfile (like the ownership stealing mechanism).
If ':can-shadow' is set explicity to nil in the dotfile then the layer won't
shadow any layer.
For instance to install both ivy and helm layer:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
ivy
(helm :can-shadow nil)
)
note that due to the commutative relation the above example can also be
written (in this case, ':can-shadow' should be read ':can-be-shawdowed'):
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
(ivy :can-shadow nil)
helm
)
Layers can now declare in their layers.el file that they shadow one or more
layers using the following functions:
- configuration-layer/shadow-layers
- configuration-layer/shadow-layer
Those function are commutative so:
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer1 'layer2)
is the same as
(configuration-layer/shadow-layer 'layer2 'layer1)
and means that
layer1 shadows layer2
and
layer2 shadows layer1
The typical use-case is helm and ivy layers. Helm shadows the ivy layer and
Ivy shadows the helm layer.
Shadowing is sensitive to the order of declaration of layers in the dotfile,
for instance:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
helm
ivy
))
means that ivy shadows helm so helm layer is effectively ignored,
whereas
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
helm
))
means that helm shadows ivy so ivy layer is effectively ignored.
This mechanism can be turned off using the :can-shadow keyword:
(setq dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
ivy
(helm :can-shadow nil)
))
means that both ivy and helm layers will be installed (not recommended in this
case)
Note that the `:can-shadow` mechanism will be fully implemented in a next
commit.
- remove variable configuration-layer--used-distant-packages
- rename function configuration-layer//get-distant-packages to
configuration-layer//filter-distant-packages to better reflect what it does
- Add argument PREDICATE to configuration-layer//filter-distant-packages
- New cfgl-package methods: cfgl-package-used-p and cfgl-package-distant-p
- Add unit tests
Replace the optional argument `no-install` by a global variable named
`spacemacs-sync-packages`.
Rename the hooks to reflect the renaming of the function.
Rename the flag `--no-sync` to the more explicit `--no-package-sync`
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.
