|
|
|
This is a quick tutorial on how to configure the XEmacs package user
|
|
interface (package-ui). After you configure package-ui, you will be
|
|
able to download and install XEmacs packages and dependencies while in
|
|
XEmacs. For the complete documentation, see
|
|
/usr/share/doc/xemacs-21.4.*/README.packages.gz
|
|
|
|
Once XEmacs is emerged onto a Gentoo Linux system, you will only have
|
|
the following elisp modules installed: xemacs-base, efs and
|
|
(optionally if you had mule in USE) mule-base. This guide will show
|
|
how to use package-ui to download and install your own preference in
|
|
elisp modules to ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages.
|
|
|
|
First, start XEmacs and load the package-ui elisp module.
|
|
|
|
M-x load-library RET package-ui RET
|
|
|
|
The first thing to set is the download site (package-ui installs via
|
|
network).
|
|
|
|
M-x customize-variable RET package-get-remote RET
|
|
|
|
Insert a new value, then:
|
|
|
|
Choice: Remote
|
|
Host: ibiblio.org
|
|
Directory: /pub/packages/editors/xemacs/packages/
|
|
|
|
Make sure you set and save the change. Note, other host/directories
|
|
are possible. The the documentation for package-ui for more
|
|
information. Hint: ibiblio.org is *fast*.
|
|
|
|
Then set the location package-ui should install to:
|
|
|
|
M-x customize-variable RET pui-package-install-dest-dir RET
|
|
|
|
Directory: ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages
|
|
|
|
Make sure you set and save the change.
|
|
|
|
At this point you can install your modules:
|
|
|
|
M-x pui-list-packages
|
