EPL — Emacs Package Library

EPL provides a convenient high-level API for various package.el versions, and aims to overcome its most striking idiocies.

Installation

Install from MELPA or Marmalade. The former is strongly recommended.

In your Cask:

(source gnu)
(source melpa)

(depends-on "epl")

EPL supports GNU Emacs 24 with the built-in package.el library. EPL should also work on GNU Emacs 23 with the 3rd party package.el, but this combination is not regularly tested anymore. Other versions of Emacs, and other flavors of Emacs (e.g. XEmacs, Aquamacs, etc.) are not supported.

Usage

Refer to the commentary of epl.el for a list of functions, and to the docstrings of these functions for usage instructions.

We may add a list of all functions to this README, but this is not exactly easy. Pull requests welcome.
