New function configuration-layer/insert-lazy-install-configuration
This function asks for a layer and then insert the lazy configuration
for all the packages owned by this layer.
It's not possible to get full backtraces in these instances when an
error is signaled, and I think we should generate full backtraces when
debug-on-error is enabled as a general rule.
I had to make this change at one place to track down the root of problem
2 in #5200.
Bug lurking in the code for quite some time, if both a package and
its dependencies were uninstalled then activation of the dependencies
could fail. This is resolved by explicitly asking package.el to install
the dependencies if required.
Add actions for both helm and ivy.
TODO:
- see TODO in function body
- replace SPC h d p (list all packages, use spacemacs describe when
it is a layer package, otherwise use vanilla describe).
This new keyword allows to add all the packages to the <layer>-packages
even when a package is not toggled on by a given layer variable.
This fixes an issue of the layer system where we had to choose between
discoverability (ie. the list of package in helm or ivy with SPC h SPC)
and installation of package (because any package listed in the variable
<layer>-packages were installed).
Fix bug: When the list of package names returned by
configuration-layer//get-uninstalled-packages contains a package that
isn't contained in configuration-layer--packages, then
configuration-layer//install-package throws "wrong-argument-type:
eieio-object-p nil" error at startup.
configuration-layer//install-packages catches it and prints it in the
home buffer.
New function configuration-layer/lazy-install to add support for
lazy installation of layers based on auto-mode-alist emacs mechanism.
This is essentially the Prelude feature but translated at the layer
level for Spacemacs.
New dotspacemacs variable to enable this feature:
dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation
For now this variable is set to nil by default, it will be put to t when
the feature is stable.
POC with elixir layer.
Start to isolate the list of packages. Also we want to define packages
function at the top level of an elisp file in order to not prevent
emacs from knowing where the functions are defined.
This commit has a POC made with elfeed and elixir layers.
Addressing #4586. The bug stops Spacemacs from listing rollback slots if
there exists a file (i.e. non-directory) in the rollback directory.
e.g. .emacs.d/.cache/.rollback/.DS_Store (common in OS X)
- Remove extensions template
- Prompt before creating readme (Users creating private layers probably
don't want to create a readme)
- Template out layer author and email address
- Rename LAYERNAME to LAYER_NAME for readability
- Use fallback attributes if user-full-name is unset
- Fix inconsistent Spacemacs capitalization in template
1. Don't use beginning-of-buffer (or end):
These are for interactive use only according to compiler
2. reduce => cl-reduce
3. next-line => forward-line
next-line is only for interactive use
4. set-default-font => set-frame-font
set-default-font is obsolete since 23.1
5. show-subtree => outline-show-subtree (alias)
6. show-all => outline-show-all (alias)
package-refresh-packages was called every time a bootstrap package or
a theme was installed
Use configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives to install bootstrap
packages and themes
Add a reentrance boolean to configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives
Add force and quiet optional arguments to configuration-layer/retrieve-package-archives
Force refresh of archive when the user requests an update of packages
Add request.el to core/libs
Refactor package.el initialization in configuration-layer.el
Cosmetic improvements to loading messages
Remove redefinition of package-refresh-packages
- Introduced new variable `spacemacs-spacemacs-number-of-rollback-slots'
which holds the maximum number of desired rollback slots.
- Introduced functionality to delete oldest rollback slot directories if
total number exceeds the configuration value.
