mirror moz.el #13

Closed monsanto closed 11 years ago

Official source: https://raw.github.com/bard/mozrepl/master/chrome/content/moz.el

Also, this appears to be checked into nXhtml as well (https://github.com/emacsmirror/nxhtml/blob/master/related/moz.el), but probably shouldn't be, along with many of the other files in that folder such as visual-basic-mode.el

I am mirroring https://github.com/bard/mozrepl now, but that is probably not what you were hoping for.

I could mirror just the file moz.el even including it's history as I have a tool for that git-subpull. But I have stopped importing such "partial" packages, except for packages from the emacswiki and the gnu elpa repository. git-subpull is a bit to fragile for non-linear history (like on the wiki) or nearly linear history (like on elpa).

Another reason why I no longer extract subtrees and/or subsets when start mirroring a new package is that I found it not to be very useful in practice. The only "partial" that I use is mu. I used to mirror it's mu4e/ subdirectory as package mu4e. But I found that to be very cumbersome in practice and I replaced mu4e with the complete mu.

There are currently 16 (non-emacswiki/elpa) "partial" packages (remaining) on the Emacsmirror. I will probably convert some of these to "full-history including the non-elisp bits" at some point. But it's not a top priority. However I do not intend adding any more new partial packages.

Regarding the gist: please contact upstream about it.

I am open to discussing this some more but for now consider this fixed.
