'Recursion' problems
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I would like to switch to req-package…
And simplify my students setups with it
However there are 'recursion' problems:
req-package is needed to manage packages
But it 'requires' dash, log4e, use-package
So this has to be done by hand.
Hence my request:
Bundle these requirements into req-package itself so only following is needed
- download
req-package - setup
load-path (require 'req-package)
[I believe this is related to issue #14 ]
I do not surely understand your problem problem. If you're using elpa or
el-get, req-package dependencies will be installed automatically. Why do
you need this kind of bundle?

Provide a bundle with all these setup in the path so only
- download req-package
- setup load-path is needed

#16.
I think if you close #14 this will also be answered :-)
IOW How to best use req-package with elpa/melpa/marmalade?
[el-get I am not familiar with]
Or put differently, the README says that this is (all that is) needed
(require 'req-package)
Obviously that (alone) does not work.
What works?
As always you need to install the package.
- add melpa repo as described at https://github.com/milkypostman/melpa
- M-x package-install -- req-package
(require 'req-package)
The idea is that req-package is the only one package you need to install manually.
All req-package forms will download required packages automatically.
