Bugzilla Bug 183482

distel is a very useful pkg for erlang dev in emacs



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Created an attachment (id=123275) [edit]
distel ebuild 

This is the ebuild that pulls from google code's svn

Created an attachment (id=123276) [edit]
gentoo site elisp

I am not sure if this is the proper place to put the init code. Or if it should
just go in an einfo. 

You don't need virtual/emacs in DEPEND, elisp.eclass already provides that. 
Please put a comment after emake's die command.  Put quotes around the argument
of elisp-site-file-install().
Is the require in the site file really needed (is there no autoload)?  What
does the setup call do in the init?

Just a few comments, I am reluctant to put an live ebuild into Portage.  Can we
wait for an release?  Maybe I will put it into the overlay, or you add it to
Sunrise.

There is a distel-3.2.tar.gz on Sourceforge.

 Which is obsoleted by upstream.

distel ebuild, updated

- removed virtual/emacs depend
- added comment to emake die
- put quotes around the site install


The distel-setup:
(defun distel-setup ()
  (add-hook 'erlang-mode-hook 'distel-erlang-mode-hook))

A few packages do this in site-gentoo.el   However, it does seem like something
that would be better placed in ~/.emacs   Its more a question convention. 

Putting this in the emacs overlay makes a lot of sense. (I don't know anything
about sunrise)

 Great.

 I think that is ok for a site init.

 http://www.gentoo-sunrise.org/ (a user overlay), the Emacs overlay is
available via "layman -a emacs" (sorry, look up the documentation yourself) and
we have a wiki on http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/
 Let's wait for a release tarball someday.

app-emacs/distel-3.2_p20070928, i.e. an SVN snapshot, has been committed to the
Emacs overlay, see <http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs/>.

Taken from overlay and prepared a newer snapshot.  Thanks for the submission,
