ELPA - a package manager for emacs (tromey.com)

Where can I find a list of the packages in the repository?


Sadly installing it in emacs and typing M-x package-list-packages


Thanks. Could be really great if someone posted in pastebin or whatever the output of that command.



In my experience, things that get behemoth-sized tend to grow package managers, like eclipse.


I don't so much think it's the size as it is the extensibility. Managing plugins can be a pain. I mean, say what you will about emacs, but what other editor has plugins to play chess, check your email, as well as chat on IRC or jabber?
