Is Olivetti extinct? #6

Closed teledyn closed 9 months ago

teledyn commented 9 months ago

Compiling the init.el on GNU Emacs 29.1 in UbuntuStudio 23.10 I get

In toplevel form: ews.el:34:2: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, olivetti

update: it is not extinct, as it appears to live where the README says it was, at https://github.com/rnkn/olivetti

I am glad you found it again.

Olivetti is available from Melpa. The EWS init.el file will install the package.

pprevos commented 9 months ago

Why are you compiling the init file? It runs when Emacs starts. The Use-Package clauses will install any missing packages.

teledyn commented 9 months ago

bad choice of language, I didn't compile it, I used eval-buffer to get that error. I also found that several packages mentioned in the init.el didn't auto-install, so I just went through the list installing each by hand and so far (knock on wood) the setup appears to be working.

I was mostly worried there was inconsistencies in the auto-install parts that gave a wrong location for that package causing the remainder to be skipped.

This is a great package btw. I posted about it on Mastodon and received a flurry of re-posts!

I am unsure why you have this experience. Just committed the most recent version.

The use-package-always-ensure is set to t, so all packages should auto install.

I just tested it in a clean folder and it works on my side. There are some compilation warnings, but you can ignore them. I am looking into why they appear.

I'm using gnu emacs 29.1, but it is not unreasonable that my own config has cruft that has upset the process.

If no one else complains, it's probably just me, and the work around was simple.

EWS was developed as a brand new configuration, not on top of existing configs. Have fun!

teledyn commented 9 months ago

Heh, well aren't they all? I'm just happy that after 40 years, I can still get into new emacs adventures 😅

I am glad to have created something useful for an Emacs veteran. I think we can close this issue now.
