This repository provides tools for producing the standard package.el-compliant package artifacts from your twist.nix configuration.
Although twist.nix is cross-platform, it is still limited to Nix. For example, you can’t use your configuration on Windows. With twist2elpa, you can build and distribute ELPA packages with little effort, so you can install them using package.el. Because package.el is shipped with Emacs, this means you can use your favorite packages on any operating system that supports Emacs, with the package revisions exactly the same as your preferred environment. First develop your configuration with Nix, and then run it on anywhere.
Since this functionality is experimental, it is maintained in a separate repository, and it does not guarantee 100% compatibility with ELPA or MELPA.
This repository exposes an nixpkgs overlay from the flake. The overlay provides emacsTwist2Elpa attribute set, which contains the following functions:
buildElpaPackage
package-install-file.
buildElpaArchive
package-archives. You can upload the directory to a server like S3 and use it as a replacement for ELPA and MELPA.
buildElpaArchiveAsTar
buildElpaArchive, but creates a tar archive. Once you upload the archive to somewhere like GitHub Releases, you can download and use it offline on another machine.
It is *not* recommended to add your twist2elpa-generated archive to package-archives alongside ELPA and/or MELPA. Rather, the generated archive works as a replacement, or proxy, for GNU/nonGNU ELPA and MELPA.
