Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 42.5
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I would like to propose adding a new metapackage to recommend/suggest
useful editing modes (currently named "emacs-editing-modes"), such as
programming modes, configuration file modes, etc. It would be great if
Debian can provide a way to make Emacs work OOTB for editing programming
language source files and configuration files. There are many modes
available, but managing them can be cumbersome as there are a lot.
Using a metapackage with recommends IMHO provides a means to let a user
install many useful modes with one package name while providing some
flexibility to choose which ones they need or not (e.g. in aptitude.)
I have prepare a MR[1] and the patches are attached. PTAL. TIA!
