I guess we need something like `require', e.g. (package-require FEATURE&optional FILENAME NOERROR). So you could put in your .emacs: (package-require 'company) (package-require 'js2-mode) (package-require 'rainbow-mode) and it will take care of installing and activating your preferred packages on a new installation.
Separating out the .emacs issue, I think it would indeed be a good idea to have the preferred-package list stored somewhere so that we can use it for new installations.
There is the ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives directory. Would it be possible to copy this to a new installation in order to tell package.el what to install?
To tell you the truth, I am quite unclear yet what package.el can do, not having seen a manual for it. Does it exist somewhere?
