There are a few kinks to iron out, but for the most part it's done. Doom
Emacs, powered by straight. Goodbye gnutls and elpa/quelpa issues.
This update doesn't come with rollback or lockfile support yet, but I
will eventually include one with Doom, and packages will be (by default,
anyway) updated in sync with Doom.
Relevant threads: #1577#1566#1473
If the user had no ~/.doom.d/init.el to begin with, and never reads it
after it's been created (by `doom quickstart`), then Doom can't possibly
know what modules to install packages for, therefore no packages get
installed!
IMPORTANT: This is a breaking update for Mac users, as your shell
environment will no longer be inherited correctly (with the removal of
exec-path-from-shell). The quick fix is: 'bin/doom env refresh'. Also,
the set-env! autodef now does nothing (and is deprecated), be sure to
remove calls to it in your config.
Smaller changes:
+ This update also adds --no-* switches to doom quickstart
+ Includes general improvements to the documentation of several bin/doom
commands.
+ Moves doom/reload* commands to core/autoload/config.el
+ doom/reload-project has been removed (it didn't actually do anything)
The breaking change:
This update adds an "envvar file" to Doom Emacs. This file is generated
by `doom env refresh`, populated with variables scraped from your shell
environment (from both non-interactive and interactive sessions). This
file is then (inexpensively) loaded at startup, if it exists.
+ The file is manually generated with `doom env refresh`.
+ It can be regenerated automatically whenever `doom refresh` is run by
running `doom env enable` (`doom env clear` will reverse this and
delete the env file).
+ `doom quickstart` will ask if you want to auto-generate this envvar
file. You won't need it if you're confident Emacs will always be
started from the correct environment, however.
+ Your env file can be reloaded from a running Emacs session with `M-x
doom/reload-env`. Note: this won't work if the Emacs session you're
running it in doesn't have a correct SHELL set. i.e. don't use this to
create your first env file!
The idea isn't mine -- it's borrowed from Spacemacs -- and was
introduced to me in #1053 by @yurimx. I was impressed with it. Prior to
this, I was unhappy with exec-path-from-shell (no hate to the dev, I
understand its necessity), and 'doom patch-macos' wasn't ideal for mac
users (needed to be reapplied every time you update Emacs). What's more,
many users (even Linux users) had to install exec-path-from-shell
anyway.
This solution suffers from none of their shortcomings. More reliable
than patch-macos, more performant and complete than
exec-path-from-shell, and easily handled by bin/doom.
