Today i decided to be BOLD and upgrade to emacs 24.
I’m hoping that emacs 24′s package manager will help us stay up-to-date on our submodes and cut-down on emacs upkeep and maintenance in general. I’m going to document the steps i take here.
1. brew unlink emacs
2. brew install emacs
Thats it! So far.
To get a list of packages we can do
M-x package-list-packages
This brings up a list of available (and installed) packages. Apparently this isn’t a complete list. If you select a package you can install it from within emacs. Lets see, there is coffee-mode, i’ll install it.
This installed it to
~/.emacs.d/elpa/coffee-mode-0.4.1/
Huh, i wonder if this will interfere with our dotfiles. Er rather, i wonder how to integrate emacs 24 into our dotfiles.
