Re: picolisp-mode

Hi there, I'm not aware this discussion is also happening on the list. Although I'm subscribed to the list but I only check it infrequently. Please feel free to CC me when there are Debian package related issues : -) Myself is also a Emacs user so naturally when I packaged picolisp I also

Re: picolisp-mode

Rick, Thank you for explaining your position. My wording may have been clumsy but I agree with everything you write. The discussion is not about changing anything for people who already use one or the other mode. It is about proposing something easy to use *and* not confusing to new comers.

Re: picolisp-mode

I'm working with picolisp and emacs, also using the older picolisp-mode which comes with the picolisp distribution (the official upstream one from http://software-lab.de/down.html). I greatly enjoy using paredit, which works well. I have not tried out the other emacs modules for picolisp, and

Re: picolisp-mode

Hi, As an Emacs user, it would be nice to have Picolisp package in Debian updated. I use Emacs but I've tweaked some other lisp libs. I don't use MELPA either. Kind regards, Manu El mar., 22 ene. 2019 a las 10:20, Jean-Christophe Helary (< brandel...@gmail.com>) escribió: > > > On Jan 22,

Re: picolisp-mode

Alexis, Wow :) Thank you for the information. My current issue is that Debian installs the distribution picolisp-mode by default and for some reason the melpa package (yours) is not available. Also, on Debian (well, it was Raspbian but I guess that's the same), when you open a picolisp file
