Hi all, evil-surround and evil-leader are now available through el-get, the awesome meta package manager for emacs <https://github.com/dimitri/el-get>.
Don't get me wrong: That's great. But dropping a line beforehand to the author would be nice.
Not sure that makes much sense with the el-get recipes since they're basically just glorified links to wherever the Emacs package resides. Clever links, but links none the less. :)
Well I never used el-get and thought of it like package.el (maybe that's true, don't know). With the latter it's more like an additional distribution channel. The first thought I'd had if I see a package with the project's name on a M-x list-package or $el-get-equivalent is: "Ow there's another package with that name? That's bad, I should do something about it." It's not a permission thing but to keep track where your stuff went in order to protect people from stale copies. And, well, it's great to know that people care about your stuff :D Michael
