severen / confmacs

A small tool for managing Emacs configurations.

Hi, I'm Severen!

I am a systems developer at SiteHost and a mathematics and computer science graduate from the University of Canterbury.

My interests include:

• Programming language theory, design, and implementation
• Logic, type theory, and category theory
• Abstract algebra

I am an avid user, developer, and supporter of free and open source software, and as such endeavour to release as many of my projects as possible under such licences.

Doesn't work with Windows

Any chance of making this work with Windows? It works OK when running confmacs init and confmacs list, but when I try to run confmacs select I get the following:

λ confmacs select spacemacs
~/.emacs.d will be deleted and replaced with a symlink.
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N)

Write a man page

Implement a configuration file

There is currently no way to store or change settings. A TOML configuration file stored in the user's XDG_CONFIG directory would be the preferred way to implement this.

Share the ELPA cache between configurations

Sharing the ELPA cache would be a nice feature to have. Once this is implemented it will be an optional feature which can be turned off. (see #2)

"confmacs select" breaks when .emacs.d not present

Had to do a fresh install on my MBP running OSX Yosemite. Had no previous .emacs.d folder created. Here's the output of confmacs select when .emacs.d does not exist:

confmacs select spacemacs
~/.emacs.d will be deleted and replaced with a symlink.
