After reading through
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EmacsForDebian I will be
changing our app-emacs/ category to not touch site-lisp.el. Instead
there will be a /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el which will
contain the same thing. Gentoo Emacs users will then be able to load
site-gentoo.el from their individual ~/.emacs files.
This has the following implication:
* on multi-user systems, emerging an app-emacs package because user
A wants it will not affect user B if user B's .emacs doesn't load
site-gentoo.el.
Gentoo GNU Emacs users will have a few options available to them after
the change:
* if you want the greatest flexibility in how you customize each GNU
Emacs package, you can edit your .emacs and NOT load
site-gentoo.el.
* if you want some level of flexibility, you can load a subset of
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/NNpackagename-gentoo.el and cusomize
the rest from your .emacs.
* if you want very little flexibility and virtually no customization
to do, you can simply load site-gentoo.el from your .emacs. (this
is the current state of Gentoo GNU Emacs packages).
Questions, comments, suggestions... all welcome.
