X-Debbugs-Cc: philipk@HIDDEN

 From the discussion in bug#64985, Eli mentioned that .elpaignore wasn't 
documented. (It turns out it's mentioned briefly in the GNU ELPA README, 
but that's the only place I could find.) Here's a small patch to 
document this in the Package section of the Emacs Lisp manual.

This is just a first pass at documenting this feature, so I'm happy to 
add further details if anyone thinks it's warranted.

That's because it was the only place where `.elpaignore` was used/obeyed
(until the introduction of `package-vc`).

Yeah, something more general that I've noticed is that as a package 
author, the documentation for how to make a package for GNU ELPA is 
split between the GNU ELPA README and the Emacs Lisp manual. I found 
this a bit confusing when I prepared my first package for submission to 
GNU ELPA, so (for example) I didn't learn about ".elpaignore" until 
after I sent my package submission to emacs-devel.

Maybe it would make sense to put all the documentation in the Emacs Lisp 
manual, and then the GNU ELPA README can be the home for documentation 
about how to work with the GNU ELPA repository specifically (mainly as 
an administrator). What do you think?

When I find some time, I plan to write and add a package to ELPA that
could help automatise some of the necessary steps for contributing to
ELPA (explaining the difference between GNU and NonGNU, signing the CA,
testing for common mistakes, clean byte-compiling, etc.).  It would be
possible to also suggest creating a .elpaignore file as well.  Of
course, this does not mean there shouldn't be any guidelines written
down in the manual.

FWIW, that's how it started.  It's just that some of the conventions
originally used only in (Non)GNU ELPA have now made their way into
`package.el`.

Any help cleaning this up is welcome.

As a general guideline for documentation, I'm thinking that anything a 
package author puts in their own repository would get documented in the 
Emacs Lisp manual, whereas anything that goes in the (Non)GNU ELPA 
repository (e.g. in the elpa-packages file) goes in the ELPA README. 
That makes intuitive sense to me as a package author at least: then the 
Emacs Lisp manual would have everything I need to *prepare* my package 
for eventual inclusion in ELPA.

Historically, the difference was between the format of the repository
(which only affected things like Melpa and (Non)GNU ELPA) and the format
of ELPA tarballs (which is what `package.el` dealt with).

`package-vc` makes the repository format relevant to `package.el`.
But there might still be differences between what `package-vc` requires
and what (Non)GNU ELPA requires, beside the data actually maintained in
the (Non)GNU ELPA `elpa-packages`.

Yeah. I do think as a package author who once wasn't sure about exactly 
what I should do to make my Emacs package follow best-practices, the 
first place I'd look is in the Package section of the Emacs Lisp manual 
(regardless of where the implementations for package management live). 
But, like you say, now that 'package-vc' exists, Emacs itself now knows 
(some) about the repo format, too.

In any case, if there are no objections in the next day or two, I'll 
merge my patch, and then look into whether there are any other things 
worth documenting. (For example, I'll try to turn my suggested 
documentation on package naming[1] into a patch.)

To have the best of both worlds, please have the ELisp manual mention
the ELPA README file, and ELPA README file to mention specific nodes
of the ELisp manual where this stuff is described.

It could be an improvement to merge all that documentation into one
text and rewrite it for coherence and clarity.

That has a drawback: it would make the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
substantially bigger.  Copies would be less convenient and more
expensive.

I think there is no need for this material to be in the Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual.  So I suggest making a separate short manual about
adding a package to GNU ELPA.  The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual can
direct people to it.

I have been discussing a similar ideal with some others off list, of
whom I'm tagging in (potentially sharing blame with ;) only prot.

My/our suggestion is to create a new manual ("ELPA: the missing
manual") that should be provided with Emacs releases, with the current
version available online via gnu.org.

This new manual can start with some new (and/or moved, consolidated,
expanded, ...) sections aimed at Emacs users wanting a deeper
understanding of Emacs packaging.  Following that, it can include some
specifics ("best practices"?) especially for package authors, with the
remainder being collected manuals for ELPA packages.

A slight twist on this idea could be to frame more generally, for
example "Emacs Features and Packaging" (instead of anything about
ELPA).  This might allow

In any event, if this seems worth discussing further, I think work
could begin with agreeing on the specific (and probably rather narrow)
scope. I think we need, for example, to describe the criteria used to
decide what goes into the proposed addition manual.  We might also
want to create a "rubric" (simple rule, or very simple flow chart)
that helps us understand when a feature's documentation will be in the
Emacs manual, the elisp manual, or this new manual, and so on, until
the task beings to look ominously do-able or all volunteers are scared
off >:)

Prot, am I right that you (still, also) have energy for something like
this?  Other thoughts as you consider in the context of this thread?

That makes sense to me. I'd be happy to help contribute to this new 
manual if others have interest in helping to share the load.

I don't think there's a real danger here.  The necessary additions to
what is already in the ELisp manual are small.

The reason the ELisp manual touches on these issues is because it
describes package.el, which is a much more general facility, not
limited to ELPA.  The ELPA-specific stuff should not be described
there, only mentioned with a reference to the ELPA README.

I tend to agree, and it shouldn't be about "ELPA" but about "Emacs

discussing details of specific cases such as ELPA tarballs, (Non)GNU
ELPA, Melpa, straight, etc...

In another subthread for this bug, we'd discussed making a *new* manual 
that discusses ELPA and/or creating packages for Emacs in general. If we 
want to create such a manual, I think that's the place my patch should 
go. However, I'm not sure what the status is on that; I have time to 
help out with it, but not enough time to write a whole manual myself.

I CCed some of the people discussing this into this subthread too.

I'm (still) interested in working on this.  I haven't had another
offline discussion on this since I last replied in.

Key points I observed from that thread were (1) preference for
Packaging (not ELPA) as central topic, (2) expectation that we clearly
define rules for where to put things, especially WRT to moving things
already within some existing manual.

My thoughts are in the direction of working on a "mission statement"
and outline, as next steps.  I hope having an outline will help make
it possible to combine efforts from several contributors, there
probably are not many people with time to sit down and write a whole
manual :)

BTW, just in case Someone=E2=84=A2 dies have time for this (and would find
this easies to work on if left more greenfield), it won't hurt my
feelings to have a "straw-dog" to discuss from, rather than starting
from an outline and ground-rules, as I'm suggesting/assuming.

Prot and I have resumed the offline discussion we were having.

He is catching up on a backlog of emails; I expect he will join this
conversation on-list by-and-by.

Hello folks!

I did not have electricity at home.  Now I am back.  Still need to read
this thread though.

All the best,

Sorry for the delay!  I read the entire thread.  I am willing to
contribute towards the creation of a new manual.  As Stefan Monnier
noted earlier,[1] I think it is better to have it be about "Emacs
packages" with relevant subsections for where those are stored and how
they can be installed.

How do we start?  Perhaps someone can produce a draft to get things
going?  I am happy to volunteer towards that end.

Should this be in .texi or can we do it in .org format?

As always, we communicate with the maintainers before making any
changes.

Anything else we need to consider at this stage?

Sounds like a plan.  Thanks for working on this.

We generally prefer .texi, but either way is fine for a first draft.
It's not crucial at this stage, and we can always convert it to another
format later.  The biggest work is in writing it.

There was talk in this bug report about writing a new "package manual",
and Protesilaos volunteered to write a first draft.

But while we wait for that work to complete, is there any reason not to
install the below patch?  Because we currently don't have any
documentation for .elpaignore, and it's kind of frustrating to have to
tell people that it exists over and over.

Thoughts/objections?  Thanks in advance.
