Anyone knows what the emacs naming convention is for packages?

didibus03:04:10

I see people doing package--fn or package/fn or package//fn or package-fn

dpsutton03:04:37

standard i know of is package-fn for public, package--fn for private

didibus03:04:59

Hum, oh, I see. The doc said: Use two hyphens to separate prefix and name if the symbol is not meant to be used by other packages.

didibus19:04:16

Anyone has experience publishing a package to MELPA?

didibus19:04:42

And if not, what's the best way prior to being in MELPA to share my package with others? Just a git clone?

dotemacs19:04:05

@didibus you can just put in a public git repo and there are package managers that allow you to pull a package straight from git.

didibus19:04:51

Like which one?

didibus19:04:54

straight.el ?

didibus19:04:06

I'm trying to see what my Install instructions should be for users

dotemacs19:04:30

Yea, straight.el, but there is also el-get

dotemacs19:04:00

In any case, if people want to try out your package, they’ll find a way to do it.

didibus20:04:35

Hum, I guess I would like to provide some easy to follow instructions. I only know for Spacemacs since that's what I use.

didibus20:04:54

I feel not everyone using Emacs would know how to install something not in Melpa

didibus20:04:08

Like me 😝

didibus20:04:00

El-get actually feels pretty nice
