Spacemacs: use new method to keep orphaned packages. #2

Closed c0c0n3 closed 7 years ago

c0c0n3 commented 7 years ago

As of version 0.200.1 (2016/10/09), Spacemacs changed the way it handles orphaned packages--- dropped dotspacemacs-delete-orphan-packages in favour of dotspacemacs-install-packages. I need this functionality for the terminal set up in .spacemacs.d/terminal/init.el.

To improve terminal startup time, .spacemacs.d/terminal/init.el clears all packages declared in.spacemacs.d/init.el, the editor config. So now to Spacemacs all those packages declared in the editor config are orphan and can be nuked. But I don't want Spacemacs to uninstall these packages obviously cos they're needed by the editor. As a workaround I tell Spacemacs to keep orphaned packages around.

Fixed: I updated my config to use dotspacemacs-install-packages.
