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. |

Elfeed layer
Description
This layer enables Elfeed, a web feeds client which supports both Atom and RSS
feeds. It'll optionally enable supporting packages, such as elfeed-web and
elfeed-org.
Install
Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add elfeed to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
By default, elfeed stores its database under ~/.elfeed.
Setup feeds
With Org
It is recommended to manage your feeds list and tags via org files, this is possible thanks to elfeed-org package. To define a list of org files:
(elfeed :variables rmh-elfeed-org-files (list "~/.emacs.d/private/elfeed1.org"
"~/.emacs.d/private/elfeed2.org"))Checkout elfeed-org documentation to see the format of that file.
Here is an example of such a file (note the usage of org tags to tag your feeds)
* Blogs :elfeed:

To explicitly setup the list of feeds, set the value of elfeed-feeds variable
in your .spacemacs file.
(elfeed :variables
elfeed-feeds '(("http://nullprogram.com/feed/" blog emacs)
"http://www.50ply.com/atom.xml" ; no autotagging
("http://nedroid.com/feed/" webcomic))))
Check documentation for elfeed-feeds for more information about this variable
(SPC h d v elfeed-feeds RET).
Server
Elfeed comes with a simple web interface to browse its database. You can manually
start it by calling elfeed-web-start or by setting elfeed-enable-web-interface
to t which will start the web automatically when Emacs starts.
(elfeed :variables elfeed-enable-web-interface t)
By default web interface is available on localhost:8080/elfeed. You can change
the default port by changing the value of httpd-port.

the value of url-queue-timeout.
