emacs2nix

Automatically generate Nix expressions for Emacs packages.

Be sure to run

git submodule update --init

before building this package!

The scripts elpa-packages.sh, nongnu-packages.sh, nongnu-devel-packages.sh, melpa-packages.sh, and melpa-stable-packages.sh regenerate each package set. They require Nix to build.

To update the ELPA packages, run

# For ELPA packages
./elpa-packages.sh \
  -o $NIXPKGS/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/elpa-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.
