Somebody help me out pls...i tried to refresh my package list in emacs but it keeps hanging "Contacting Host: http://elpa.gnu.org:80"
quick poll - which emacs ‘distro’ do you use? I use prelude although am tempted by spacemacs...
@roberto ah, a ‘proper’ emacser
I did try but ended up with a poor imitation of prelude
are you using org-mode to manage it?
when I tried I used org-mode and it worked really well actually.
@progzilla I mean how do you manage your emacs configuration - roll your own or one of the ‘off-the-shelf’ bundles?
i actually use the config on my arch linux ...so i simply moved the init.el and the elpa folder
http://elpa.gnu.org is accessible from a browser on port 80...
i have changed my connections 3 times now including a cable conn and yet remains same
it could be that you are behind a firewall or proxy that is preventing you from accessing melpa
have you tried visiting the website?
@colin.yates: I use https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport — and use org mode to manage based on https://github.com/cndreisbach/emacs.d
@progzilla: just tried updating packages on my emacs, it's at least reachable in ohio
thanks for the links @donmullen
@colin.yates: on your poll, I rolled my own config after trying prelude. it's s fun excercise. https://github.com/twillis/my-emacs-config
Am going to play with the @twillis and @donmullen links
That's a really interesting idea, @donmullen. Literate programming, for Emacs. Gonna have to dig into that more later.
@jeff.terrell: It’s been great - kudos to Clinton. Much easier to document / view / search all in one file than multiple files.
Yeah, I can imagine! Plus, the ability to fold things is great for being able to focus on just one or two things. Very cool! I'll have to tell him thanks next time I see him.
