This package is provided as given by the upstream authors, only slight modifications to include it properly in a Debian system. This modifications include changes on installation so that the index database can be build on installation for all users. If you want to use per-user database installation you should not use this (leave the directory empty). This will leave the definition as: (setq remem-database-dir "~/RA-indexes/") Users will have to run 'ra-index' in their (user-controlled) directories so as to generate at "~/RA-indexes/" their own databases and index. Of course, users can override this settings in their .emacs files. Notice that there are other variables which might make sense for users to configure themselves, such as: ;; (setq remem-display-scope-databases nil nil nil) ;; (setq remem-scopes-list '(("mail" 6 5 500) ("notes" 2 5 500))) TODO: 1- modify source to allow system-wide configuration by default, before reading HOME , set savantr in /etc (modify template/config.c) 2- check if it works with other versions of emacs other than 19 3- add manpage (ask upstream?) ---- Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña Sat, 23 Aug 2003 14:45:51 +0200
