A MELPA package? #2

Closed vkazanov closed 7 years ago

vkazanov commented 7 years ago

Most Emacsers these days use package-install. It would be nice if ob-async had a package on MELPA...

astahlman commented 7 years ago

Good idea, I'll see if I can find time to open a PR on MELPA in the next couple of days.

vkazanov commented 7 years ago

Cool, thanks! That'd be great!

https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/4568 is pending review.

Hi,

As this is a pretty useful infrastructure feature it might make more sense to make it part of org-mode itself. You'd need to assign copyright to FSF, though. Here's the relevant information.

@pank

that would be awesome!

I recently tried to automate some of my remote server tasks using org-babel and found that it's not really practical to have Emacs blocked for such a long time... ob-async feels really helpful here.

There is a thread here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-02/msg00348.html which would be nice to get some feedback from the org-mode maintainers on.

Thanks for the link @stsquad. I'd love to see generic support for asynchronous execution in org-mode - especially if someone else were willing to drive it :wink:. Let's see what the org-mode maintainers think.

ob-async is now available in MELPA.
