11 years ago I think that if you're maintaining your own separate fork of Emacs Live, then you can also modify the fork of the installer script to point at your repo rather than Overtone's - or am I missing something?

11 years ago Yup, thats what my changes allow. In the installer script anyway.
Instead of hardcoding 'overtone' its just a variable which is replaced by who ever has there own version.
Is there a better way to maintain a seperate personal pack?

11 years ago Sorry, I guess I don't follow what you'd like. Have you seen this: http://overtone.github.com/emacs-live/doc-customisation.html

11 years ago Humm I have,
I basically want a way of getting live and having my personal pack stored.
let me have a think I think possibly the best way of doing this is instead of forking the entire project just use live and maintain a personal pack on github. With a installer for myself.
Thoughts?

11 years ago Check out how I manage this: https://github.com/rothmichaels/remacs
This is one git project with my .emacs-live.el file, a copy of emacs-live, and any of my custom packs. emacs-live and my packs are all added as submodules. The script setup.sh needs some work; right now it just creates the following symlinks
~/.emacs-live.el -> remacs/.emacs-live.el
~/.emacs.d -> remacs/emacs-live
~/.emacs-live-packs.d -> remacs/packsRight now you need to run git submodule init and git submodule update manually in the project, emacs-live and some of the packs.
The emacs-live submodule points to my own fork, but I also set up overtone/emacs-live as a remote so I can pull down Sam's latest work or work with my own hacks.
Stay tuned for a real README and a more complete setup script in the coming days.

11 years ago Ok,
So I havent done it yet, but I basically need to remove my fork of emacs live and then git clone my own /live-packs repository.
That was I can stay with emacs live and keep my own personal config with a really easy way to install it and keep it uptodate.
Thanks for the help and information ;)
Keep up the good work! Live rocks :~)

11 years ago No problem - glad you got it working in the end :-)
Hi, I love emacs live and have my own personal pack etc that I wanted to use. I therefore have submitted that to my fork and changed the installer to use a generic variable which can be set at the top of the shell file.
This means that I can pull my latest code with the pack directly.
Please note I tried to only change the installer but my other contribs to my own dir have been added. I'm not sure how to remove them from the pull request.
If you can let me know and want a pull request with the one change then I would be glad too.
Many thanks
