;;; Commentary:

;; To use this, put package.el somewhere on your load-path.  Then add
;; this to your .emacs:
;;
;;    (load "package")
;;    (package-initialize)
;;
;; This will automatically make available the packages you have
;; installed using package.el.  If your .emacs will refer to these
;; packages, you may want to initialize the package manager near the
;; top.
;;
;; Note that if you want to be able to automatically download and
;; install packages from ELPA (the Emacs Lisp Package Archive), then
;; you will need the 'url' package.  This comes with Emacs 22; Emacs
;; 21 users will have to find it elsewhere.
;;
;; If you installed package.el via the auto-installer:
;;
;;    http://tromey.com/elpa/
;;
;; then you do not need to edit your .emacs, as the installer will
;; have done this for you.  The installer will also install the url
;; package if you need it.

;; Other external functions you may want to use:
;;
;; M-x package-list-packages
;;    Enters a mode similar to buffer-menu which lets you manage
;;    packages.  You can choose packages for install (mark with "i",
;;    then "x" to execute) or deletion (not implemented yet), and you
;;    can see what packages are available.  This will automatically
;;    fetch the latest list of packages from ELPA.
;;
;; M-x package-list-packages-no-fetch
;;    Like package-list-packages, but does not automatically fetch the
;;    new list of packages.
;;
;; M-x package-install-from-buffer
;;    Install a package consisting of a single .el file that appears
;;    in the current buffer.  This only works for packages which
;;    define a Version header properly; package.el also supports the
;;    extension headers Package-Version (in case Version is an RCS id
;;    or similar), and Package-Requires (if the package requires other
;;    packages).
;;
;; M-x package-install-file
;;    Install a package from the indicated file.  The package can be
;;    either a tar file or a .el file.  A tar file must contain an
;;    appropriately-named "-pkg.el" file; a .el file must be properly
;;    formatted as with package-install-from-buffer.

;; The idea behind package.el is to be able to download packages and
;; install them.  Packages are versioned and have versioned
;; dependencies.  Furthermore, this supports built-in packages which
;; may or may not be newer than user-specified packages.  This makes
;; it possible to upgrade Emacs and automatically disable packages
;; which have moved from external to core.  (Note though that we don't
;; currently register any of these, so this feature does not actually
;; work.)

;; This code supports a single package repository, ELPA.  All packages
;; must be registered there.

;; A package is described by its name and version.  The distribution
;; format is either  a tar file or a single .el file.

;; A tar file should be named "NAME-VERSION.tar".  The tar file must
;; unpack into a directory named after the package and version:
;; "NAME-VERSION".  It must contain a file named "PACKAGE-pkg.el"
;; which consists of a call to define-package.  It may also contain a
;; "dir" file and the info files it references.

;; A .el file will be named "NAME-VERSION.el" in ELPA, but will be
;; installed as simply "NAME.el" in a directory named "NAME-VERSION".

;; The downloader will download all dependent packages.  It will also
;; byte-compile the package's Lisp at install time.

;; At activation time we will set up the load-path and the info path,
;; and we will load the package's autoloads.  If a package's
;; dependencies are not available, we will not activate that package.

;; Conceptually a package has multiple state transitions:
;;
;; * Download.  Fetching the package from ELPA.
;; * Install.  Untar the package, or write the .el file, into
;;   ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ directory.
;; * Byte compile.  Currently this phase is done during install,
;;   but we may change this.
;; * Activate.  Evaluate the autoloads for the package to make it
;;   available to the user.
;; * Load.  Actually load the package and run some code from it.
