Add to melpa?

[jbr]

I just came here from awesome-nu#editor-extensions and was excited to see that there's a nu major mode for emacs now! I am setting up straight-use-package for the first time in order to use this, but imagine there are probably people who would prefer to install from melpa. I've added a package to melpa before and it was fairly straightforward. Would it make sense to publish this package to melpa?

Thanks!

Hi.

I switched back to ZSH after many issues I faced in NuShell. Mainly nushell/nushell#6339.
Currently, I don't plan to switch back to NuShell again. It is okay for you to take ownership of this package.

Hey @azzamsa, I'd like to take over and maintain this package. I've been maintaining some Emacs Lisp code for years: https://github.com/mrkkrp?tab=repositories&q=&type=&language=emacs+lisp&sort=stargazers. If you agree, how should we proceed about it?

[azzamsa]

If you agree, how should we proceed about it?

100 %. I will provide any action necessary.

[mrkkrp]

🎉 I guess the next logical step is to transfer the repo to my account.

[azzamsa]

@mrkkrp done.

[mrkkrp]

@azzamsa, Hmm, strange, I haven't received any notification about this. Are you sure you used the right handle? I know people often make mistakes in mine. Could you perhaps check?

[azzamsa]

I have re-transfer the ownership to your handle.

[mrkkrp]

Strange, I still haven't received anything 🤷‍♂️

[azzamsa]

I have tried both mrkkrp and @mrkkrp. However, it doesn't have pop-up selection as if we add more contributor to the repo.

[mrkkrp]

Yeah, pretty weird. Maybe it is something we could report to GitHub (I will try to do that in the coming days). Looks like a bug to me.

[mrkkrp]

@azzamsa I contacted GitHub about this and they suggested enabling notification both via the web-interface and via email. I did that. Can you please try again?

[azzamsa]

Should I use @ or not?

[mrkkrp]

I think it should work without it.

[azzamsa]

[mrkkrp]

I've got another reply from GitHub. They looked a bit more into it and I think they fixed the problem. Can you try one last time? Really sorry for this long sequence of attempts!

[azzamsa]

[mrkkrp]

It worked! Thanks for not giving up :-)

[azzamsa]

@mrkkrp would you like to share what's happening? is it a GitHub bug?

[mrkkrp]

It turned out that if you opt out of email notifications then the request won't be sent to your email and it won't show up in the web interface either. So, I had to enable email notifications, but even then it at first defaulted to an email address I haven't used in 8 years instead of my primary email. I consider the fact that opting out of email notifications prevents any kind of notifications about repository transfers a bug.

[azzamsa]

Same here. I never use any email notifications for the app I open every day, including Github.
If someone would like to transfer a repository to me, I need to activate my email notification first.

[mrkkrp]

The package is now on MELPA.
