ErgoEmacs is broken on NixOS #452

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hi. It worked fine in the past, but starting from some newer version few things gone wild:

  1. On a first start, mkdir ~/.emacs.d/ergoemacs-extras is needed, otherwise Emacs will hang
  2. When ErgoEmacs is enabled, Emacs launch time is much longer, in the status bar I see that for some reason it also begins to look through elpa, melpa etc sites. Is it possible to disable this new behaviour via config? In NixOS, it's up to the package manager to deal with Emacs packages, it's not ErgoEmacs business :-)

Could you please fix these things? Thanks.

I'm unsure why you need to make the directory ~/.emacs.d/ergoemacs-extras; In theory ergoemacs-mode should make this for you... Is this directory not writable by emacs in NixOS?

As far as removing ergoemacs-mode dependence on package managers, I think it needs to stop checking the packages as it boots up.

No, NixOS doesn't touch home directory. So by some reason ergoemacs-mode doesn't create ~/.emacs.d/ergoemacs-extras. Some NixOS contributor suggested to report this issue upstream, so that's why I'm writing about it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24540#issuecomment-290985904

There was no such issue in the past. If I create that directory manually, everything is fine. Here's the Messages from Emacs when this issue happens:

This should be fixed. Let me know.
