Subject: | Re: Calling (package-initialize) sooner during initialization |

Thats fair, but (in case its not clear), Im suggesting that we try to move everyone away from ever saying Add this line to .emacs: (require, and *instead* get them to say the very similar Add this line to .emacs: (use-package. The hope (unsupported by actual evidence, of course) is that its a simple enough change that its not as difficult as telling people how to find the right point in their init file to put package-initialize w.r.t. the various `require lines, which move around. As an additional benefit, emacs will start faster, and the users init file will naturally tell them where to customize that package. (In a potential future, we could even have customize or a replacement add the options to the use-package statement directly - but thats down the road).
Agreed. My hope was to get people to suggest an equally-simple but better alternative to `require in .emacs (which is already something that wed like to avoid). Hope that helps. Sorry to add to the noise if not. Thanks! ~Chad |
