When I last looked at Emacs, the package systems were what really turned me off the most and made me stick to Vim. I really like the "Vundle workflow" where I simply list dependencies in my .vimrc and I can selectively update them or install them all at once. It appeared to me that if I wanted to rely on the Emacs package system, every time I install Emacs on a new machine, I would have to not only copy over my .emacs.d, but also run through the package manager and remember all my desired plugins then mark all them individually installation.
Is there a better way?

- profsnuggles 12y agoI used to use something similar to this to install my packages. (mapc (lambda (package) (package-install package)) '(dired+ zenburn-theme)) Until I saw this emacs config https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs/#package https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs/#package after which I just rm -rvf'ed my whole ~/.emacs.d and stole that.
- msbarnett 12y agoel-get (apt-get for Emacs packages) is really an order of magnitude better than dealing with raw ELPA et al: https://github.com/dimitri/el-get https://github.com/dimitri/el-get
- regularfry 12y agoI just keep my .emacs.d in git, including any installed packages. Seems to work.
