Subject: [PATCH] Add user-defined column widths to package-list (package.el)
Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 16:10:37 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When executing the function `package-list-packages', the column widths are
too narrow, cutting off a significant
portion of the package names.

This minor patch adds four variables that can be set by the user to adjust
the width of each column within the package list.

of the following:
package-name-column-width (defaults to 30 columns)
package-version-column-width (14 column)
package-status-column-width (12 columns)
package-archive-column-width (14 columns)
