Subject: bug#68915: Request to include a couple of packages in GNU ELPA
Date: Sun, 04 Feb 2024 11:24:01 -0500

>>> I would like to propose a couple of my packages for inclusion in GNU
>>> ELPA. They are:
>>>
>>> 1) consult-hoogle: https://codeberg.org/rahguzar/consult-hoogle
>>> It allows the use of hoogle search engine for haskell programming
>>> language from Emacs using the interfaces provided by consult package.
>>>
>>> 2) filechooser.el: https://codeberg.org/rahguzar/filechooser
>>> It implements the backend D-bus methods for xdg filechooser and can be
>>> used to provide an Emacs based file selection interface for applications
>>> such as web browsers which support using xdg desktop portals for this
>>> purpose.

Thanks, added.

>>> Please let me know of any suggestions and if I need to change anything.

For both of those packages, it'd be nice to add a `.gitignore` with
something like:

    *.elc
    
    # ELPA-generated files
    /consult-hoogle-autoloads.el
    /consult-hoogle-pkg.el

For `consult-hoogle` I suggest you add a `.elpaignore` so as to prevent
the large PNG files to make their way into the tarball, since they're so
much larger than the rest of the package and they're not really useful
in `~/.emacs.d/elpa`.

For `filechooser.el`, I see you bumped into the fact that `bytecomp.el`
doesn't keep track of those functions defined within a `let`, so you
refrained from using #' to refer to those functions.

The better solution is to send a patch for `bytecomp.el`, of course, but
in this specific case you could workaround the problem with something
like the (guaranteed 100% untested) patch below.  It's not very pretty,
so I recommend you look into that `bytecomp.el` patch 🙂.
