Certain packages installed but not usable
minikN opened this issue · 2 comments
Hello, after starting to migrate my config to el-get I noticed that some packages seem to get installed correctly, but are, for some reason not usable.
The packages I've encountered so far are: popup-kill-ring and org-pdfview.
They (I guess) get installed correctly. A el-get-describe popup-kill-ring tells me the package is installed. I can also see it inside ~/.emacs.d/el-get alongside it's dependencies.
However, with popup-kill-ring I should have access to a function popup-kill-ring to invoke it. I don't: popup-kill-ring is not a valid command name.
The same happens with org-pdfview: It seems to be installed correctly, but I should be able to open a pdf file with org-pdfview-open <file>. Again not a valid command name.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.
Snippets used for popup-kill-ring:
(el-get-bundle popup-kill-ring
(global-set-key (kbd "M-y") #'popup-kill-ring))
Additional info: (featurep 'popup-kill-ring) evaluates to nil. Why?
emacs --version: 26.3
el-get-version: 5.1.f6408024
When I search for popup in .loaddefs.el, the following are all occurences:
;;;### (autoloads nil "popup-kill-ring/popup-kill-ring" "popup-kill-ring/popup-kill-ring.el"
;;;;;; (0 0 0 0))
;;; Generated autoloads from popup-kill-ring/popup-kill-ring.el
(if (fboundp 'register-definition-prefixes) (register-definition-prefixes "popup-kill-ring/popup-kill-ring" '("popup-kill-ring")))
;;;***
;;;### (autoloads nil "popup/popup" "popup/popup.el" (0 0 0 0))
;;; Generated autoloads from popup/popup.el
(if (fboundp 'register-definition-prefixes) (register-definition-prefixes "popup/popup" '("popup-")))
Also, M-: (el-get-invalidate-autoloads) doesn't help.
The recipe for popup-kill-ring points to Emacs Wiki. This version lacks any autoload. There's another one on Github, which has a autoload, but is not in sync with the Emacs Wiki version. The Wiki has more recent changes.
Not sure how to contribute to Emacs Wiki to add the autoload.
As a workaround you can add (require 'popup-kill-ring) somewhere to your Emacs configuration file.
Not sure where you found the recipe for org-pdfview.
