I have. Mostly with Clojure as it happens -- the move from slime to nrepl was quite painful. And the lack of stability on MELPA was a significant cause. > *nod* > > However, Emacs configuration management has, i feel, improved significantly > over the last couple of years, with things like `use-package`: > > https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package > > enabling one to create easily-reproducible config setups across > environments/machines. This was the cause of all my grief with MELPA though. My setup is use-package based (actually, I added the ELPA/package.el integration). I sync my .emacs across machines, and use-package auto-installs missing packages. This meant I got different versions on every machine, depending on when the auto-install happened. Fingers crossed more package authors add support for MELPA stable. I use it exclusively now. Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
