Automatically generate Nix expressions for Emacs packages.
Be sure to run
git submodule update --init
before building this package!
The scripts elpa-packages.sh, org-packages.sh, melpa-packages.sh, and
melpa-stable-packages.sh regenerate each package set. They require
Nix to build.
To update the ELPA or org-mode packages, run
# For ELPA packages
./elpa-packages.sh \
-o $NIXPKGS/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/elpa-generated.nix \
--names names.nix
# For org-mode packages
./org-packages.sh \
-o $NIXPKGS/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/org-generated.nix \
--names names.nix$NIXPKGS should be the path to the Nixpkgs clone which you are updating.
To update the MELPA packages, run
# Use melpa-stable-packages.sh to update melpa-stable-generated.nix instead
./melpa-packages.sh \
--melpa $MELPA \
-o $NIXPKGS/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/melpa-generated.nix \
--names names.nix$MELPA should be tho path to a clone of the MELPA
repository.
To run one of the elpa2nix or melpa2nix commands outside the shell script
wrappers, first enter a Nix shell with the command
nix-shell -A env
which will ensure that all the runtime dependencies are present.
