how to use contrib packages through ELPA (specifically org-export)

how to use contrib packages through ELPA (specifically org-export)

[Eric Schulte]

Hi,

I'd like to put together an ELPA package for org-ehtml [1], but it has
dependencies not only on Org-mode but also on org-export (which is in
contrib).  Is there a way to require contrib packages through ELPA, or
should I just package up org-export into its own ELPA package?

Thanks,

Names org-e-html and org-ehtml are confusing.  Could you please choose a
different name for your package?

I believe org-e-html will be renamed org-html, so the conflict will not
last for long.  However if you have any suggestions for other names for
org-ehtml I'm happy to hear them.

Any thoughts on the topic of packaging elements of contrib?  If no-one
objects I will submit an org-export package to marmalade [1].

It is better to avoid naming conflicts.  org-e-html.el took it's birth
last November.  It has been around for close to 9 months now.  That's a
long time already.  I am not sure when merge and renames are going to
happen.  I will probably give it another 6 months without any
hesitation.

I haven't used your package.  `e', I believe stands for `editable'.  I
believe it is really editing the underlying Org file (and not the HTML
file) with HTTP used for transport.

If the user experience is Wiki-like call it org-wiki-client and
org-wiki-server and the whole bundle org-wiki.

If you want something cool, call it org-whatever-app.

If you want to "promote", elnode just call it elnode_mod_org or
elnode_mod_elisp.  Take inspiration from apache modules.

Nic Ferrier hasn't responded to the question of whether he would want to
have elnode in GNU ELPA.  As far as your editable app is concerned, I
believe it can go anywhere.  Marmalade seems a natural choice.

If org-export.el and org-e-backends are bundled as ELPA packages, I
would insist that go in GNU ELPA and not elsewhere.  Nicolas and I are
signed contributors. (Sometime back, I had made a request to Achim to
port my ELPA changes to the new build system.  I hope it is in his TODO
list.  Achim, are you there?)

You can also call it org-elnode.el or elnode-org.el.

From the comment section in package.el:

;; The downloader downloads all dependent packages.

But perhaps Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat.com> can explain how it works.

I'm copying Achim just to make sure he reads this.

(Better start a new thread for such requests.)

Nicolas and I have been thinking of using oe- as the prefix for
org-e-*.el files when moving the new exporter into core.

So we would have oe-html.el, oe-latex.el, etc.

This is short and this has the advantage of telling that the file
is about exporting, nothing else.

What do you think about this?

From what I understand, org-ehtml.el is more an extension to elnode.el
than to Org.  It is elnode + org syntax (instead of the WikiCreole used
by Nic in his demo) and some javascript magic for making the best of
org-element.el.  

So I like Jambunathan's suggestion to name it elnode-org.el.

You may want to start with what is in:

http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/blob_plain/777f5cbe42084a8bbd711c54f519f7d5d987d7ec:/Makefile

The target to look for is `pkg'.

Mainline version 

1. Doesn't update `archive-contents' which is necessary in order to
   browse packages in the repo with `list-packages'.  My private version
   does it with `package-upload-file'.

2. Doesn't create README file.

3. Packs the whole repo.  My private version packs just the "original"
   org-odt.el and style files.

Send me a private mail if you have questions.

That's the right place to do it, so that'll be implemented with the
upload.

Can't do either, since the source for the new README isn't included in
Git.  I do package the README, though.

Wait, are we talking about the same ELPA Org package?  I don't pack the
whole repo either, just lisp/, etc/styles, doc and a few files from
toplevel.

If I am not mistaken, you are talking about release tar and not the ELPA
tar.  They are not the same.

Run rgrep like so.
    (rgrep "pkg" "*.mk" "~/src/org-mode/" nil)

and I see no references to 'org-pkg.el'.  (Note the `-pkg.el')

Look at following info node in Emacs-24+
    (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages")

specifically this paragraph:
,----
|    For example, if we distribute version 1.3 of the superfrobnicator
| as a multi-file package, the tar file would be
| `superfrobnicator-1.3.tar'.  Its contents would extract into the
| directory `superfrobnicator-1.3', and one of these would be the file
| `superfrobnicator-pkg.el'.
`----

You can also look at 
    http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/

to understand how things are packaged.

It's not pushed to the orgmode repository yet.  Please have a look at
the ELPA tar produced with the following patch (after including
UTILITIES/server.mk from your local.mk):

Yes.

(Just to give some history)

But I submitted a revision to that which you can see at:
    http://patchwork.newartisans.com/patch/377/

It didn't get any attention it deserved.

The link I recommended to in `org-jambu.git' builds slightly further on
what is in above patchwork queue.  One can customize PKG_DATA (IIRC) to
pick and choose what gets bundled.

For example, with your changes one should able to build a new ELPA
package, say org-e-*.tar,
    - which bundles all org-e-*.el files
    - which has dependency on org-*.tar

or 

create a monolithic org-*.tar
    - which "pulls" chosen .el files (that are FSF-signed) in contrib and
      package it with regular files.

I am not getting in to details here and it could be confusing.  So
ignore this message, if it is not clear what is trying to convey.

I agree.  I'll release this to marmalade once the supporting packages
are in order (see below).

After talking to Nicolas, it sounds as though if I wait for the next
major Org-mode release, the Org-mode package will provide org-element
and org-export.  This seems like the best choice, rather than go through
the trouble of generating extra packages which will quickly be obsolete.

Re: ELPA/server.mk

[Jambunathan K]

I added the diff below to Makefile and did a 
  $ make elpa

Quick comments: It is far from OK.  
1. The bundle is a tar file not tar.gz file.
2. The lisp files should be right in the root not in lisp/ subdir.

Best way to test the ELPA tar is to do a
    M-x package-install-file RET org-*.tar.

and point in to the tar.

May be you should just reproduce my recipe from the mainline Makefile or
better still org-jambu.git.
