Open manufactory opened 2 years ago
Hey @manufactory,
I was initially hesitant to submit this to MELPA since project.el is being actively developed and thus project-x might break often. However there have been no breaking changes since I wrote it, so it might be a good idea to do so now. I don't have the time for this at the moment, but feel free to submit it to MELPA if you're interested. The code will need to be linted to pass the MELPA review, I can make you a co-author if you're okay with doing that.
What do you think?
EDIT: You can also submit the linted version as a PR I guess.
Hey,
Thanks! I ran all the linters suggested by MELPA and they found no issues.
When going through the code, the only thing that I noticed is that (project-root)
can be replaced by (project-root)
provided by project.el
.
I found an issue when playing around: Projects (sometimes?) don't get recognized when there's a .project
file in the main directory. My test case is quite simple: I created a directory, ~/tmp/project-x-test
, containing two files and an empty .project
file, invoked (project-x-mode)
and the project directory is always my home directory, not ~/tmp/project-x-test
.
I'm also quite busy, but perhaps I find some time to look into that. It might just be the order in which packages or hooks are loaded. I'll keep you posted :)
Any update on this? It would be lovely to see this package available publicly. I may be able to look into it in the next week or two if you're both busy. :)
I'm currently to busy to work on this, so if @karthink is fine with it go ahead :)
A little held up at the moment, please feel free to submit it. 👍

I volunteer to submit it, @manufactory
@trev-dev Thanks. Before submission, it might be a good idea to update the package for Emacs 29, since the latest project.el
has changed a bit. Nothing's broken in project-x (as best I can tell), but project.el
has gained some of project-x
's features, such as the ability to identify projects based on the existence of a special file in the root directory of the project.
I'm not on 29 yet so I haven't looked into it.
Funny, as the main reason I want project-x is for that project root feature. Emacs as a graphical program is a tad annoying to set up with the proper context.
Do you suspect that Emacs 29 will essentially deprecate project-x?

project-x's other feature is to save and restore your project files and window configuration. project.el is not gaining this feature in Emacs 29, so project-x won't be deprecated. However there are many packages for saving and restoring state, such as tab-bookmark, burly, perspective, the built-in desktop.el etc. So I wouldn't say it's essential.
Apologies @karthink, but due to reasons not in your control I'm moving on from Emacs for now.
This is a great package, I think it should go on melpa. I'm pretty new to emacs so I can't do a pr for it though unfortunately. Btw I'm on 29.2 and it works well.

If you're interested please go ahead, the only changes project-x will need are stylistic/linter warnings.
Hello,
Is there any specific reason why project-x is not available on MEPLA? If you have nothing against it, I'd be happy to create recipe and open a PR to get it added :)
