[O] Orgmode for managing OS configuration
Dear all, I would like to clean up my Linux setup to be easily replicable. I am considering keeping everything in one org file, and then tangling files (e.g. exec scripts, systemd service unit files) and executing bash snippets (e.g. for installing packages and sed'ing config files). Then one would need just emacs and git (or rsync) to start with. Does anybody have experience with this? Is the experience positive or negative? Also, should I just run emacs as root? Or using somehow sudo non interactively for babel blocks execution? Thanks, Giacomo M

Sounds like you want to implement here something similar, except less good cause this distributions have also atomic updates and features like testing a configuration and rollback features and some sort of conflict management, also it can switch "profiles" without reboots and stuff like that.
[O] Bug: Archive to Datetree [8.3.6 (8.3.6-6-g194e51-elpa @ .emacs.d/elp
Thank you Nicolas for fixing it so quickly! Unfortunately now that I can test it I see a problem with the fix: When archiving an "ordinary" entry with 'n' empty lines after it there will be zero empty lines after it (or before it) in the Datetree. However, those archived in the order described by my bug report gets n + 1 empty lines after them.
Re: [O] Orgmode for managing OS configuration
Dear Stefan, thanks for the hints, I wasn't aware of these projects. While they sound appealing, I would like to stick to my current distribution (archlinux), for a variety of reasons (e.g. Im updating my raspberry which seems more supported by arch than nixos, I'm more familiar with it, I like the vanilla approach and wiki). Anyway, I'll look more into these options. Still, having one or few org files documenting AND implementing my setup, apart from being easy potential blog posts, I think would help me keeping things under control (especially over years-long time horizons). It is working well for my emacs conf (before my .emacs was a mess), but not sure if it's the same scaling up to OS (e.g. chmod when tangling, root user privileges when executing, or other things I'm not aware of).

Re: [O] Orgmode for managing OS configuration
you can have a look at here https://propellor.branchable.com/ It should be possible to use emacs to edit the config.hs file. Now you need to extend it for arch . Cheers Frederic

Interesting. Works well although not very pretty with visual-line-mode and org-indent. More importantly, it doesn't update numbering when a new headline is added as far as I can tell. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 26.0.50.1, Org release_8.3.6-1272-gc61ee8

Indeed there is no automatic update of the numbering. The use case I had in mind was to turn on the numbering for short timespans only. Just to see the numbers to get a slightly different view at the Org buffer. Best regards, -- Marco

My scripts are supposed to be idempotent so it is easy to play around and try new stuff. The Org document makes it easy to make sense of everything.

[O] v9.0 running babel blocks
Hi, I updated to org 9.0 today via elpa. Org mode version 9.0 (9.0-elpaplus @ /Users/jkitchin/vc/jkitchin-github/scimax/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20161102/) I get this message on trying to run an elisp block. Evaluation of this emacs-lisp code-blockis disabled. There are two issues: 1. there is a missing space between block and is (and maybe code-block should not be hyphenated) in org-babel-check-evaluate 2. It used to work! If I run (org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate (org-babel-get-src-block-info)) in the code block, it returns t I am not sure what is causing it.

Anyway, I'll look more into these options. Made me chuckle. I'm on Arch and have been for years after trying a bunch of others. It's hard to explain but you just find a distro that works and you like it... and it's hard to imagine going elsewhere! We had the same thought when accomplishing this through another distro was suggested (even if those other distros are amazing). I'd love to hear where you get with this, and the idea is quite intriguing. It's pretty rare I wipe and re-install, but I do like to keep configuration files backed up so I don't have to re-figure-out everything between my last install and the next. I have a cron job that grabs config files of interest and stores them in one folder; periodically I push to git. That's as far as I got and generally on a new system I just pull them in one by one as I remember that I need them. Packages can cause this issue... after a year or two on a system, there's packages that say they were explicitly installed, but I don't recall why. Some way to track the evolution of a system along with notes/links of where you found some fix or solution would be really cool (and well suited to Org!). I'd like to see/hear about what you end up with!

I'm having exactly the same issue after upgrading to 9.0. In my case, the source code block has a name, and it says "Evaluation of this shell code-block (name) is disabled", so I guess the missing space issue happens when the code block does not have name.

I can confirm that this worked for me as well - I removed both org and org-plus-contrib in my elpa directory just in case and reinstalled them, and now the code evaluation works.

[O] pdflatex fails to write .log file when exporting a subtree with EXPORT_FILE_NAME containing a subdirectory
Hi, After upgrading to org-mode 9.0, I'm getting the same error described here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg01312.html. Basically LaTeX export stops with an error - pdflatex complains that it cannot write .log file, when I export a subtree with EXPORT_FILE_NAME containing a subdirectory. Best, Joon
