Installation Does Not Work on MELPA and From File #14

Closed artforlife closed 6 years ago

I am not able to install this using neither MELPA nor from-file installation.

The former returns "package not found" and the latter returns "Package lacks a Version or Package Version container".

Re. the former message, I expect your package list is out of date. Try M-x package-refresh-contents then try again. Re. the second, I've added a placeholder header which will allow from-file installation, but MELPA is still the preferred option.

I've personally moved from auto-complete to company, so I'm not maintaining or using this package. There's a company equivalent of this package in MELPA, IIRC.

Thank for the recommendation. The package refresh worked. Also, the company seems good. What features does it have that made you switch?

Also, after checking out the company, I still like your module better. Company is buggy for me and is hard to get working. I like the interface of ac-slime and auto-complete much better too.

Cool. It took a while for me to switch over. If auto-complete is working for you, then great! :-)
