Emacs Lisp Package Archive
This is an ELPA (Emacs Lisp Package Archive) comprised of packages
written by myself to serve the noble purpose of filling into the gaps
of making GNU Emacs a practical
and convenient “computing environment” for me — after all it’s my
main system at home and work, across several OSes:
GNU/Linux, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, ReactOS
and FreeDOS. That means that all those
systems boot directly onto full-screen Emacs (most graphically), and
all my user initialization code is inside my .emacs (rather than
.xsession, .xinitrc, .profile or .bashrc) – so all helper
sub-processes are managed by Emacs; my window manager is
EXWM (wherever possible), and I use
Emacs for everything feasible, the only exception being to resort to a
javascript-capable web-browser for sites requiring it and whose job
can’t be done with Emacs alone.
To make all packages in this archive available for installation within
your Emacs, just customize the variable package-archives to this
effect:
(add-to-list 'package-archives
("oitofelix" . "https://oitofelix.github.io/elpa/"))
Then M-x list-packages should contain all newly available packages
from the oitofelix archive.
The following table list all packages available from this ELPA and indicates whether they are available elsewhere. Although not high-priority, I try to get them integrated into the canonical upstream distribution chain as far as possible.
Packages
| Name | Description | MELPA | GNU ELPA | GNU Emacs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| info-rename-buffer | Rename Info buffers to match manuals | X | ||
| tramp-auto-auth | TRAMP automatic authentication library | X | ||
| elpa-deploy | ELPA deployment library | X | ||
| eterm-fn | Function keys (F1–F12) for GNU Emacs terminal | X | ||
| cpu-sos | S.O.S. from a CPU in distress | X |
In case you are interested, I maintain this ELPA using elpa-deploy.
I have also contributed to other Emacs packages which I’m not the main author of, either by creating new modules or improving existing ones. These are available elsewhere, but I list them here for the sake of completeness.
